Bayhep B (Hepatitis B Immune Globulin) - Drug Interactions, Contraindications, Overdosage

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Although administration of Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human) did not interfere with measles vaccination,¹⁸ it is not known whether Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human) may interfere with other live virus vaccines. Therefore, use of such vaccines should be deferred until approximately 3 months after Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human) administration. Hepatitis B Vaccine may be administered at the same time, but at a different injection site, without interfering with the immune response.¹⁶ No interactions with other products are known.

OVERDOSAGE

Although no data are available, clinical experience with other immunoglobulin preparations suggests that the only manifestations would be pain and tenderness at the injection site.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

None known.
