Treating Neonatal Jaundice: What Medications are Used?
Neonatal jaundice occurs due to elevated bilirubin levels. While phototherapy is the primary treatment, pharmacological interventions may be necessary in severe cases. Phenobarbital can be used to enhance bilirubin metabolism. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) might be administered in cases of hemolytic disease of the newborn to reduce bilirubin levels.
