Rabies Vaccine

ইঙ্গিত

Verorab is used to provide protective immunization against rabies and to treat patients following suspected exposure to rabies. As a pre-exposure immunization, it is given to professional groups who face frequent risk of contamination, including veterinary surgeons (including students at veterinary colleges), technical personnel working with veterinary surgeons, laboratory personnel handling material contaminated with rabies virus, personnel in abattoirs and knackers' yards, taxidermists, gamekeepers, forestry workers and naturalists in enzootic areas, and infants who are particularly exposed to the risk of rabies. As a post-exposure treatment, it is given to those bitten by rabid animals or by animals suspected of being rabid, as well as to treat contact subjects.

Rabies Vaccine for human use comes as a freeze-dried preparation made from inactivated rabies virus grown on Vero cells. Once reconstituted, it forms a clear, colorless, sterile solution intended for intramuscular injection.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy: The potential risk of receiving rabies vaccine during pregnancy is not known. Because rabies itself is so severe, pregnancy is not regarded as a reason to withhold post-exposure prophylaxis.

Lactation: It is not known whether the vaccine passes into human breast milk. Because rabies itself is so severe, breast-feeding is not regarded as a contraindication.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
