Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin (1200IU)

Overview Carig 1200IU Injection

Derived from equine serum, Carig 1200IU Injection rapidly neutralizes rabies virus at the injury site. While human (hRIG) and equine (eRIG) rabies immunoglobulins offer comparable efficacy, Carig is an eRIG administered via injection by a healthcare professional. Specifically indicated for severe, category III exposures, it acts by neutralizing the virus before the body's immune response is fully engaged. This passive immunization, combined with active vaccination, prevents central nervous system infection, though effectiveness ceases once the virus breaches this barrier. Carig 1200IU Injection is a single-dose treatment. Mild side effects, such as nausea, rash, or digestive upset, may occur but usually resolve quickly. Rest may alleviate discomfort; however, persistent or concerning symptoms warrant medical attention. Prior to administration, inform your doctor of any immunoglobulin allergies or other medications you are taking, particularly as interactions with equine immunoglobulin are possible. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should also consult their physician before receiving this injection.
