Alternative to RhoGam?

[beanbean]

Hi everyone! I just found out I'm pregnant, due approx Feb 26.

I'm also rH negative, & DH is positive. With the concerns about RhoGam being a blood product, and also some discrepancies over whether or not it still contained mercury (debatable), I sought out an alternative.

But now I can't remember what it was! Can anyone help me?

Hi, I'm popping in from December EDDs. Congrats on your pregnancy!

Here are a couple of threads that might interest you.

Thanks for the reply, and the congratulations!

I finally found what I was looking for: WinRho SDF

http://www.winrho.net/patients/index.html

It's distributed by a different company than it was when I was last pregnant.

I also found a mention of WinRho in the Mothering archives:

Mercury-Free Alternative to Rhogam
Rhogam, which is used to suppress RH sensitization in pregnant women, is now available in a mercury-free alternative. Called WinRho SDF, the new product is manufactured by Canjene Corporation of Winnipeg, Canada, and distributed by NABI (1-800-458-4244, option #2). A package insert in PDF format and other product information can be accessed by you and your doctor at the NABI website, http://www.nabi.com//products/sdf1.htm.

(that info is out of date, nabi no longer produces it)
