Rh0 [D] IMMUNE GLOBULIN (ROE D im MYOON GLOB you lin) treats low levels of platelets in your body caused by immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). It may also be used to help prevent your immune system from reacting if you have Rh-negative blood and come into contact with Rh-positive blood. This can happen during a blood transfusion. It can also happen during pregnancy if the fetus has a different blood type than you. It works by helping your body ignore the Rh protein.
