Human Rabies Immunoglobulin (150IU/ml)

Overview PlasmaRab Injection

Rabies immune globulin (RIG), such as PlasmaRab Injection, complements rabies vaccination to prevent rabies infection. This single-dose injection provides immediate antibody protection against the rabies virus, administered only once at the start of post-exposure prophylaxis for previously unvaccinated individuals. Administered intramuscularly by a healthcare professional, PlasmaRab must always be used with a full course of rabies vaccine. Post-exposure treatment involves a single dose of RIG and a complete vaccination schedule, initiated immediately following exposure. Both the vaccine (active immunization) and RIG (passive immunization) prevent the virus from reaching the central nervous system; however, this protection is lost once the virus breaches the central nervous system. PlasmaRab is a one-time administration. Common, generally transient, side effects may include injection site pain, swelling, stiffness, tenderness, and, rarely, anaphylaxis or angioedema. Rest may alleviate discomfort; however, persistent or concerning symptoms warrant medical attention. Prior to receiving PlasmaRab, disclose any history of immunoglobulin allergy or other medications to your physician. Consult your doctor before administration if pregnant or breastfeeding.
