Treatment of respiratory obstruction caused by diphtherial pseudomembranes in the pharynx, larynx, or trachea, typically as part of comprehensive diphtheria management including antitoxin and antimicrobial therapy.
The preparation works by directly targeting and facilitating removal of the characteristic grayish-white pseudomembrane that forms in the respiratory tract during diphtheria infection, helping to relieve airway obstruction.
This preparation is derived from human biological material and requires careful screening for transmissible pathogens. It should only be used in clinical settings equipped for airway management. Must be stored and handled according to specific temperature requirements. Concurrent administration of diphtheria antitoxin and appropriate antimicrobials remains essential for overall treatment.
