Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 " Rogam " is the Ortho products name....other companies have different names for their Rh-Immune Globbulin.(Like COKE for Immucor, Inc.(Norcross,GA) use to market a thimerosal free product called Rhesonativ.(17 years ago they recognized the need to provide a mercury-free product) It was a lypholized product with 36 mo. shelf life but many hospitals & doctors offices thought it was a bit cumbersome to reconstitute before injecting. I don't know if they still distribute it, but there are probably other products that are thimerosal free...just seek them out! sheryl_melling <melling@...> wrote: Amy, Tell her to look into the huge connection between the Rhogam shot and autism. From what I hear, they have a thimerosal-free Rhogam shot. Sheryl ======================================================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Just to clarify...my sis ALREADY had the rhogam injection. I was just wondering if there is anything she can do for herself at this point in time. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 if there is anything she can do for herself at this > point in time. My son had 3 rhogam shots in a row to clear up a stubborn ear infection. They didn't work and we had tubes put in. He shows no signs of problems like his sister had. I didn't know that mercury is in that stuff. Why didn't my ped. tell me? What do you do for that type of exposure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Are you sure you are not thinking about rocephin? I was a pediatric nurse, and that is what they use for ear infections. I think they must have given him rocephin because I have never ever seen rhogam given for ear infections.
