Palivizumab is a monoclonal antibody used for the prevention of severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in infants and children at high risk. It works by binding to the F protein of the virus, preventing its replication.

Side effects may include injection site reactions, fever, rash, or, in rare cases, severe allergic reactions.
