Tetanus is an acute infectious disease characterized by systemic muscle tonic spasm caused by the growth and reproduction of Clostridium tetani in anaerobic environments after it invades human wounds. Severe patients may die from laryngeal spasm or secondary severe lung infection. Neonatal tetanus is caused by umbilical cord infection and has a high mortality rate. Although the World Health Organization has actively promoted the global immunization program, it is estimated that there are still nearly one million cases of tetanus and hundreds of thousands of newborns die from tetanus every year in the world.

Equine Tetanus Immunoglobulin (F(ab)2)
Indication: Used to prevent and treat tetanus. When tetanus or suspected symptoms have appeared, antitoxin treatment should be used in time while undergoing surgical treatment and other therapies. When there is a risk of tetanus infection from open wounds (especially those with deep wounds and serious contamination), prevention should be carried out in time. Anyone who has received tetanus toxoid immunization should receive another injection of toxoid to strengthen immunization after the injury, and there is no need to inject antitoxin; those who have not received toxoid immunization or have an unclear immunization history must be injected with antitoxin for prevention, but should also start toxin-like preventive injections at the same time to obtain lasting immunity.
