Your doctor will determine the exact dose and timing based on your situation.

Women who are Rhesus-positive (Rh-positive) should not take this drug — it is only for Rh-negative individuals.

Do not use if you are already sensitized (your body has already made anti-D antibodies) — your doctor will test for this.

This drug is specifically designed for use during and after pregnancy in Rhesus-negative women and is considered safe when given under medical supervision; it can also be used during breastfeeding.
