Baygam: Immune globulins, this a medication that contains natural antibodies, given for passive protection if a patient wasn't exposed before to a viral disease such as chicken pox,(not all cases) or to replace naturally manufactured antibodies in some patients who have immunodeficiency diseases,(not able to produce their own antibodies). Different dose regimens for different cases, hope this helps
