Rabies Human Monoclonal Antibody (rDNA) (100IU)

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.

FAQs on Rabishield 100IU Injection

Rabies spreads through the saliva of infected animals. Human infection typically occurs via a bite, but contact with infected saliva—from a living or dead animal—can also cause infection if it enters the body through a break in the skin, eyes, nose, or mouth.
Rabies is entirely preventable. Prompt wound care and immediate treatment with Rabishield 100 IU injection and anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) virtually guarantees protection, even following significant exposure.
Prior rabies vaccination completion eliminates the need for Rabishield 100IU injection.
The pain experienced from a Rabishield 100IU Injection depends on individual sensitivity. Injection at the bite site, administered by a healthcare professional, may be uncomfortable. A larger injection volume may be necessary at the wound site to manage pain and treat infection.
Rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) involves human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) and a rabies vaccine. The initial dose is given immediately after exposure, followed by vaccine doses on days 3, 7, and 14. For unvaccinated individuals, PEP always includes both HRIG and the vaccine. This combined approach is recommended for all exposures, bite or non-bite, regardless of the time elapsed before treatment begins.
Rabishield 100IU Injection is safe for pregnant women; no fetal abnormalities have been reported. If the risk of rabies exposure is significant, a doctor may recommend routine pre-exposure vaccination.
