CompositionRabivax-S Injection is used to provide protection against rabies through active immunization. It is administered for both pre-exposure prevention and post-exposure treatment after animal bites or scratches.
The injection must be taken under medical supervision according to the recommended schedule. Inform your doctor about allergies or immune conditions and complete the full vaccination course to ensure effective protection.
Rabivax-S Injection is used for active immunisation against rabies. It is given both as a preventive vaccine and as post-exposure treatment after possible rabies exposure through animal bites, scratches, or licks. The vaccine helps the body develop protection against the rabies virus and prevents the disease from developing.
Administer Rabivax-S Injection as follows:
The injection is administered intramuscularly by a trained healthcare professional.
It is usually administered in the deltoid muscle for adults and older children, or in the anterolateral thigh for infants and young children.
For specific advice on how to use this medicine, consult your doctor.
Use this injection immediately after reconstitution.
Rabivax-S Injection is administered via an intramuscular route.
Rabivax-S Injection may cause side effects like pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, along with headache, fever, muscle aches, and nausea, which generally resolve on their own within a short time. If any of these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Rabivax-S Injection. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some general guidelines for managing a couple of common side effects:
Pain at injection site: Try applying a cool compress to the area after the Rabivax-S Injection is administered.
Muscle aches: If you experience muscle discomfort after receiving the injection, consider taking rest and staying hydrated.
Rabivax-S Injection contains Purified Rabies Antigen (2.5 IU). Here's how it works:
Inducing Antibody Production: The injection introduces an inactivated rabies antigen into your body. Your immune system recognises this as foreign and starts producing antibodies against it.
Creating Immunity Against Rabies: These antibodies provide future protection against actual rabies virus infections by neutralising the virus before it can enter nerve cells and cause disease. This process effectively equips your body with the tools to combat potential rabies infections.
This mechanism helps reduce the risk of developing this fatal disease, making Rabivax-S Injection a critical part of rabies prevention strategies globally.
Caution is advised while taking Rabivax-S Injection if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before administering this medicine.
Use of Rabivax-S Injection during breastfeeding should be discussed with your doctor, who can assess the potential risks and benefits.

If you have liver health issues, it's a good idea to discuss these with your doctor prior to using Rabivax-S Injection.
Caution is advised if you have any kidney problems. Consult with your doctor before administering Rabivax-S Injection.
No specific precautions are mentioned regarding the use of machinery or driving while using Rabivax-S Injection. Always consult your doctor for advice tailored to your specific situation.
If you have a history of severe allergies, especially to neomycin or other aminoglycosides, you should use Rabivax-S Injection with caution.
Rabivax-S Injection can be given to individuals of all age groups, including children, for pre-exposure prophylaxis and post-exposure treatment of rabies. Always consult a doctor before administration.
Older patients may be more susceptible to any side-effects from Rabivax-S Injection. It's best for them to use this medicine under medical supervision.
Rabivax-S Injection interacts with the following medicines:
Immunosuppressants: Immunosuppressive medicines like corticosteroids and chemotherapeutic drugs might reduce the body's response to Rabivax-S Injection. This could mean that the vaccine may not provide adequate protection against rabies.
No specific food interactions have been reported with Rabivax-S Injection.
Rabivax-S Injection interacts with the following diseases:
Allergy: If you've had severe allergic reactions in the past, especially to any component of Rabivax-S Injection or other aminoglycosides such as neomycin, caution is advised as this vaccine could trigger an allergic reaction.
Immune disorders: If your immune system is compromised due to conditions like HIV/AIDS or treatment with immunosuppressive drugs, your body might not respond as effectively to Rabivax-S Injection. You'll need to be monitored closely.
This is a vaccine and is not taken daily.
If you're accidentally administer more than the prescribed dose of Rabivax-S Injection, you might experience common side effects like redness, swelling at the injection site, headache, fever, muscle aches, and nausea. If these symptoms persist or get worse, inform your doctor.
If you forget to administer Rabivax-S Injection at the scheduled time, do it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosage schedule. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your dosage.
