  • You or your child have a severe allergy to egg or egg products
  • You or your child have a severe allergy to the antibiotics neomycin, chlortetracycline, amphotericin B, or polygeline
  • You or your child have fainted previously before or after administration of an injection
  • You or your child have taken or plan to take any other medicines, even those that have not been prescribed by a doctor
  • You have an acute disease that requires treatment
  • You or your child have a poor immune system
  • You are at a constant high risk of infection

Directions for Use

  • The vaccine will be given to you or your child by a trained nurse or doctor in a clinic that is well-equipped to treat any allergic reactions that may result.
  • Do not self-inject the vaccine.
  • Any aftercare recommendations given by the doctor or nurse should be followed.
  • The need for booster doses will be determined by your doctor depending on the risk of contact with the rabies virus.

Storage and disposal

Protect from light and store in a refrigerator (2°C - 8°C) in the outer carton. Do not freeze it. The vaccine must be used immediately after reconstitution. Keep out of children's reach. Do not use the vaccine after the expiry date which is mentioned on the outer carton. Do not throw away any vaccine through the wastewater. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose the vaccine.

Dosage

Overdose

To date, no symptoms of overdose are known. However, in case of extreme discomfort, or when in doubt, it is best to consult your doctor.

Missed a Dose

If you miss an appointment with the doctor for the injection, you should schedule one as soon as possible after the due date.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Rabipur contains inactivated rabies virus produced on purified chick embryo cells. In the body, it stimulates the production of two types of white blood cells, lymphocytes, and plasmocytes. This results in the production of Rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (RVNAs) in the body. The antibodies are able to fight off the rabies virus. This is known as active immunization.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Immunosuppressive agents may prevent an adequate response to the rabies vaccine from developing. Hence, it is recommended that serological responses in such people be monitored and supplementary doses be given as needed.
  • Rabipur can be given with other inactivated vaccines. A different injection site is used for each vaccine.
  • Rabipur can be given along with rabies immunoglobulin. However, it must be injected at a different site away from the vaccination site.
  • The vaccine must not be mixed with other medicines in the same syringe.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Rabies, as a viral disease, can be fatal if left untreated. However, it is 100% preventable through vaccination. Hence, if there is a risk of frequent contact with animals, the Rabipur rabies vaccine can help protect from rabies infection. It should be taken as a preventive measure.

The number of doses depends on whether you are taking the vaccine before or after exposure to the rabies virus. If you are taking the vaccine for the first time, it can vary between 3 doses to be taken over a span of 21-28 days (before exposure to virus) or 4-5 doses over a span of 28 days (after exposure). If you have been vaccinated and are exposed to the virus later, you may need 2 more doses. The frequency of dosing will be decided by your doctor based on timing of vaccination and risk of exposure.

Rabipur, like all vaccinations, may not fully protect everyone who receives it. If you come in contact with a potentially infected animal after vaccination, you may need additional doses. You should immediately consult your doctor if this happens. In some cases, the doctor may also decide to give you an injection of antibodies against rabies.

Clinical studies have shown that an adequate immune response after taking Rabipur vaccine can last for up to a couple of years. Booster doses may be required after this period depending on the level of antibodies in the blood at that time. You can consult your doctor on the booster dose regimen.
