How Histaglobulin Injection works
Histaglobulin Injection is a combination of human normal immunoglobulin, histamine dihydrochloride, and sodium thiosulphate that work together to help manage allergic reactions. Human normal immunoglobulin strengthens the immune system by providing antibodies that regulate immune activity and reduce excessive allergic responses. Histamine dihydrochloride helps control immune cell function and manage allergic reactions. Sodium thiosulphate acts as a detoxifying agent, neutralizing harmful substances and reducing oxidative stress that can worsen allergy symptoms. Together, this combination helps modulate immune reactions, improve circulation, and detoxify allergens, leading to reduced inflammation, relief from symptoms like swelling and irritation, and overall better immune balance.
