Diphtheria Antitoxin

We are involved in formulating and supplying of Diphtheria Antitoxin in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The use of Diphtheria Antitoxin is not recommended for prophylaxis as its protective effect is of short duration (1 to 2 weeks only) and furthermore, it may cause sensitization to horse sera. Instead, the contacts of Diphtheria patients should receive a dose (0.5 ml) of diphtheria vaccine (Diphtheria vaccine, Adsorbed PTAP) or adsorbed diphtheria- tetanus vaccine (D-T Vaccine, which protects against both diphtheria and tetanus.) and followed after 1 to 2 months with a second dose. Prophylaxis with diphtheria vaccine is gives protection for many years and is practically free from reaction.
