Rabishield 100IU Injection

Overview Rabishield 100IU Injection

Rabies, a severe viral infection, necessitates prompt medical intervention following exposure. Rabishield 100IU Injection serves as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) when a bite from a potentially rabid animal (dog, cat, or other) occurs. This injection, administered only by qualified medical professionals in a clinical setting, is crucial after a bite. Immediately following any animal bite, thoroughly cleanse wounds with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Self-injection is strictly prohibited. Individuals facing elevated rabies risk—veterinarians, animal control officers, laboratory personnel handling rabies, and those involved in rabies vaccine production—should receive pre-exposure vaccination. This preventative regimen consists of three doses; consult your physician for details. Typical minor side effects include injection site discomfort (pain, redness, swelling), headache, myalgia, and upper respiratory symptoms. Persistent or worsening side effects warrant immediate medical attention.
