Rabipur 2.5 Iu Injection 1 Ml contains the following components:

• Antirabies vaccine-ARV (2.5 IU): Antirabies vaccine-ARV is used to prevent the deadly rabies disease. It contains inactivated rabies virus, which stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against it. These antibodies prepare the body to fight off potential future rabies exposure by neutralising the virus before it can cause harm. This process mimics a natural infection without causing the disease, thereby equipping the immune system to respond effectively if exposed to the rabies virus in the future.

• It should be stored in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C.
• Keep it away from direct light.
• Ensure the injection is kept out of reach of children.
• Always check the expiry date before use and do not use the injection if expired.

• Individuals at high risk of exposure to rabies, such as veterinarians and animal handlers, should consider getting vaccinated as a preventive measure.
• Travellers to areas where rabies is endemic should also consider vaccination.
• Avoid contact with wild animals or unvaccinated pets to prevent potential exposure to rabies.
• If bitten or scratched by an animal suspected of having rabies, seek medical attention immediately for assessment and possible post-exposure prophylaxis.
