Anti-D alternatives
Hi Lizzy
I hit dead ends wherever I went to find information relevant to Australian residents for an alternative. Basically, I was told nothing else was available and I would have to fly to New Zealand to receive an alternative shot!! And seeing as you need shots at 28, 34 weeks and one after the baby is born (if it is positive) then you would need to be seriously loaded to fly that many times!
My GP and the hospitals were no help with my searches. I ended up taking the anti-d drug which contains a fraction of plasma in it. I have had no side effects, but still, would be nice if we didnt need to have any fraction of blood AT ALL and have a synthetic version available.
Let me know if you find any more info!
