About Varicella-Zoster Immune Globulin.

Varicella-zoster immune globulin is a specialized class of hyperimmune human immunoglobulin preparations containing high titers of antibodies directed against the varicella-zoster virus.

It functions by providing immediate, passive immunity to neutralize viral particles and prevent or attenuate disease following exposure.

The class is indicated for post-exposure prophylaxis against varicella (chickenpox) in individuals at high risk for severe disease or life-threatening complications, particularly immunocompromised children and adults, non-immune pregnant women, and certain neonates or premature infants for whom the live-attenuated varicella vaccine is contraindicated.
