Abhay RAB Injection
Uses of Abhay Rab Injection
Abhay Rab Injection is used in the following:
- Immunization before possible exposure to rabies
- Post-exposure treatment after exposure to a suspected rabid animal
- Prevention of infection for high-risk people (veterinarians, municipal workers, medical and paramedical workers)
Introduction to Abhay Rab Injection
Abhay Rab Injection is composed of a Purified Vero Cell Rabies vaccine, which is indicated to prevent and treat rabies before and after exposure to the virus. This vaccine is made by growing the rabies virus in these cells and then purifying it to remove unwanted substances. The purified virus is then inactivated, meaning it can no longer cause disease but stimulate an immune response. Pre-exposure vaccination is for travelers, those in high-risk occupations, and children living in rabies-prone areas. Post-exposure prophylaxis refers to prompt wound management and vaccination. This vaccine is prepared from the Pitman-Moore strain of the Rabies virus grown in Vero cells.
Rabies is an acute, progressive disease caused by the rabies virus belonging to the Rhabdoviridae family. It spreads through the saliva of the infected animals after bites or scratches. Though this infection is 100% fatal, it is 100% preventable with timely measures and the correct use of available vaccines, immunoglobulins, or monoclonal antibodies. Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to the Abhay Rab Injection or its components should not receive it. If an individual is currently experiencing a moderate to severe illness, it may be advisable to delay vaccination until they have recovered. However, a mild illness, such as a common cold, usually does not prevent receiving the vaccine.
Therapeutic Effects of Abhay Rab Injection
The Abhay Rab Injection works by introducing inactivated rabies virus particles to the body. This exposure triggers an immune response, producing specific antibodies that recognize and target the rabies virus. If a vaccinated person subsequently encounters the virus, their immune system is primed to quickly recognize and neutralize it, preventing it from causing it.
Interaction of Abhay Rab Injection with other drugs
Inform the doctor about your medicines, including prescription, over-the-counter, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products. Certain medications may interact with Abhay Rab Injection, reducing effectiveness by causing undesirable side effects
