Popular pharmaceuticals LtdProduct Description
Indications:
Rabivax is used for prevention of rabies (pre-exposure prophylaxis) and for treatment after suspected rabies exposure (post-exposure prophylaxis). It is recommended for high-risk individuals such as veterinarians and others frequently exposed to animals.
Pharmacology:
Rabivax is an inactivated rabies vaccine produced on Vero cells. After reconstitution, it forms a sterile, clear solution for intramuscular injection that stimulates immunity against the rabies virus.
Dosage and Administration:
The vaccine is given as a 1 mL intramuscular injection in the deltoid (adults) or thigh (infants). Do not inject into the gluteal region or intravenously.
Pre-exposure: Doses on Day 0, Day 7 and Day 21/28, followed by booster after 1 year, then every 5 years if needed.
Post-exposure (non-immunized): Standard schedule on Days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28, or abbreviated schedule (2-1-1). Wound should be washed thoroughly and rabies immunoglobulin given in severe cases.
Previously immunized: Booster doses on Day 0 and Day 3 may be sufficient depending on history.
Drug Interactions:
Immunosuppressive drugs or corticosteroids may reduce vaccine effectiveness.
Contraindications:
For pre-exposure use, avoid in severe illness, fever or hypersensitivity. There are no absolute contraindications in post-exposure cases due to the fatal nature of rabies.
Side Effects:
Common effects include pain, redness and swelling at injection site. Other reactions may include fever, dizziness, nausea, rash and mild allergic reactions.
Pregnancy and Lactation:
Can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding when needed, especially after exposure, as rabies is life-threatening.
Precautions and Warnings:
Do not administer intravenously. Do not mix vaccine with immunoglobulin in the same syringe or injection site. Use immediately after reconstitution and follow proper storage conditions.
Therapeutic Class:
Vaccine (Anti-rabies)
Storage Conditions:
Store and transport at 2°C–8°C, protect from light, do not freeze, and keep out of reach of children.
⚠️ Use under the supervision of a registered healthcare professional.
