Is RhoGAM® Ultra-Filtered PLUS necessary after an induced pregnancy termination?
Yes. The Rh factor is present on the red blood cells from the time the fetus is eight weeks old. If a spontaneous or induced pregnancy termination occurs at or beyond 13 weeks of pregnancy, a full dose of RhoGAM® Ultra-Filtered PLUS should be administered. Before 13 weeks, a smaller dose, MICRhoGAM® Ultra-Filtered PLUS, may be given.
