I was one of those very few people who have RH negative blood type. Because of this I am given a special vaccine during and after my pregnancy. On my first baby I was only given the vaccine (Rhogam) after giving birth since I change my OB and she find out about it a little too late. Then on my 2nd child I was given Rhogam I think on my 28 weeks. When I was about to give birth, Makati Medical Center got out of stock of Rhogam so I need to look for an alternative. I was able to buy Winhro but it is twice the price as Rhogam. I remember we bought Rhogam at Makati Medical Center for about P6+++ while we got Rhogam for about P15,+++. I don't know what is the difference between the two. One thing that I noticed though Rhogam is in a ready syringe while Winrho is in powder and needs to be diluted. I tried googling it but most of the forums are very old, way back 2000-2007. I am not sure if we got scammed by the price of Winrho or what makes it more expensive than Rhogam.
