Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had a miscarriage at seven weeks ago. I have a RhD negative group, do I need anti-D (immunoglobulin) injections?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Yes, you should take anti-D injections but of a lower dose that is 50 micrograms of anti-D should be taken within 72 hours of abortion. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicines with their consent.

Hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask further queries.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

Is there a way to get these injections privately (not via NHS - National Health Service). My NHS doctor told me that I did not need them, which I found very alarming.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Every doctor has different opinions as per their experiences, but you can ask the doctor for this injection, or you can buy it from a pharmacy, you may need a prescription for this. It should be taken intramuscularly (buttocks), so any nurse or midwife can give it.

I hope this information helps. Write back if you have any further queries.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
