Antitet 1500 IU/Antitet 3000 IU/Antitet 5000 IU Indications/Uses

For those with tetanus symptoms, Tetanus Antitoxin should be given immediately together with surgical and other clinical remedies.
For deep open wounds and those in danger of being infected, prophylactic injection of Tetanus Antitoxin should be given at once. Patients who have had previous injection of Tetanus Toxoid should be given one or more injection of Tetanus Toxoid (but not tetanus antitoxin). To those who have not had previous Tetanus Toxoid injection or without a clear history of immunization, both antitoxins should be given for prophylaxis and permanent immunity.
The right site for subcutaneous injection of the Tetanus Antitoxin is around the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. If Tetanus Toxoid is to be given at the same time separate sites are desirable. The right site for intramuscular injection is the center area of the deltoid muscle or the lateral upper part of the gluteus maximus.
Intravenous route should be used until no untoward reaction occurs after intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Intravenous injection should be done slowly: not more than 1 mL/min and must not exceed 4 mL/min afterwards.
The total volume for a single dose should be not more than 40 mL for adults and not more than 0.8 mL/kg body weight for children. Tetanus Antitoxin may be diluted with dextrose solution or physiological saline for intravenous drip. The drip must be stopped at once if any untoward reaction occurs.
