Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Rabies Human Monoclonal Antibody is a monoclonal antibody that provides immediate passive immunity against the rabies virus. It works by specifically binding to the rabies virus at the site of the bite or exposure, neutralising the virus and preventing it from entering the nervous system. It is used alongside the rabies vaccine as part of post-exposure prophylaxis to ensure effective protection against rabies infection.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Immunoglobulin administration may interfere with the development of an immune response to live attenuated virus vaccines, such as rubella, mumps, and varicella, for up to three months.
After receiving this product, an interval of at least three months should elapse before vaccination with live attenuated virus vaccines. In the case of measles, this impairment may persist for up to four months.

Dosage
