What is Tetanus Antitoxin?
Active Ingredients: Tetanus Antitoxin
Tetanus Antitoxin Injection is used to provide temporary passive immunity against tetanus. It is used as prophylaxis for patients with infected or contaminated wounds. This vaccine is not indicated for primary immunization, nor is it effective in cases when the toxin has already affected nerve endings.
