RhoGAM: RhoGAM only needs to be administered when Rh-negative blood may potentially be exposed to Rh-positive blood. This most commonly occurs during pregnancy and blood transfusions. For Rh-negative women RhoGAM is usually not administered until their 28th week of pregnancy, and then again within 72 hours after delivery.
