Rabies Antiserum Injection

Rabies antiserum injection comprises active ingredients known as rabies antiserum. It is part of the class of drugs known as Immunoglobulin. It is also referred to by the rabies immunoglobulin (Rabies Antiserum Injection) or the rabies immune serum. It is a treatment employed to prevent the onset of rabies in people exposed to rabies virus. One of the significant benefits of Rabies antiserum injections is that it gives immediate protection against the rabies virus. It is an essential element of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for people injured, scratched, or in contact with an allegedly dangerous animal. Neutralizing the virus that causes rabies at the exposure location can prevent it from getting into the nervous system and advancing into the symptomatic form of the disease.
People who have a history of severe allergies (anaphylaxis) with any ingredient that makes up the Rabies antiserum injection or to any previous vaccination for rabies shouldn’t get this Rabies Antiserum Injection if an individual has completed a complete course of the rabies vaccine (pre-exposure prevention). In this scenario, they won’t need this in case of another exposure since their immune system is likely to be able to recognize an antibody reaction towards the rabies virus. Always consult a physician before using it on children or older people.
