About This Medication

# ADvantage Ig Patient Support Program Guide: How to Get Nabi-HB at Low or No Cost Nabi-HB (Hepatitis B Immune Globulin, Human) is a vital medication from ADMA Biologics used for post-exposure prophylaxis to prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection after acute exposure, such as through blood, sexual contact, or perinatal exposure in newborns.[4][5][9] The **ADvantage Ig Patient Support Program** helps eligible patients with commercial insurance reduce out-of-pocket costs like deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and administration fees for ADMA Biologics products, including Nabi-HB.[1][2][3] ## About Nabi-HB **Nabi-HB** provides immediate passive immunity by delivering protective antibodies against HBV, effective for 3 to 6 months after administration.[4] It is indicated for: - Acute exposure to HBsAg-positive blood. - Perinatal exposure in infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers (ideally within 12 hours of birth, combined with hepatitis B vaccine).[4] - Sexual exposure to HBsAg-positive persons (75% effective within 2 weeks).[4] - Household exposure to acute HBV cases.[9] Administered via **intramuscular injection** in a hospital or physician's office, it must be given promptly—preferably within 24 hours, but up to 2 weeks post-exposure for optimal protection.[4] Unlike ongoing therapies, Nabi-HB is typically a one-time or short-course treatment to prevent chronic liver disease from HBV.[4][9] ## Who Qualifies for the ADvantage Ig Program?
