Rabivax S Vaccine 1Ml

Rabivax-S Injection is used for active immunisation against rabies, given both as a preventive vaccine and as treatment after a possible rabies exposure such as an animal bite or scratch.

Uses of Rabivax-S Injection are:

• Pre-exposure prevention: Protects high-risk individuals such as vets and animal handlers before any exposure.
• Post-exposure treatment: Prevents rabies from developing after a bite, scratch or lick from a suspected animal.
• Immune protection: Helps the body build antibodies against the rabies virus.

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 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.

• Store Rabivax-S Injection in its original packaging to keep it safe.
• Keep it at a cool temperature, between 2°C to 8°C.
• Ensure the storage area is out of direct light and moisture.
• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Avoid contact with animals that could potentially be rabid, such as stray dogs or bats. Remember, this medicine is used to prevent rabies, a deadly disease transmitted through animal bites.

• In case of a suspected animal bite, wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water. This is an immediate first line defence against rabies. Always consult your doctor for further guidance.
