Description
Rabishield 100IU Injection is given to individuals who have been bitten by an animal suspected of having rabies, as part of their post-exposure prophylaxis treatment. Post-exposure rabies prophylaxis (PEP) is crucial for bites from rabid dogs, cats, or any animals suspected of carrying the rabies virus. The injection should only be administered for post-exposure prophylaxis with the approval of trained healthcare professionals.
After an animal bite, it is important to wash the wounds and scratches immediately with soap and water. This injection is typically given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic setting and should not be self-administered. For those considering pre-exposure vaccination, a series of three doses is required, so it is essential to consult your doctor for more information.
Common side effects of Rabishield 100IU Injection may include reactions at the injection site, such as pain, redness, and swelling, as well as headaches, muscle aches, and upper respiratory tract infections. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, please notify your doctor immediately.

It is used alongside the rabies vaccine as part of post-exposure prophylaxis to ensure effective protection against rabies infection....

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How does rabies spread?
A: Rabies usually spreads when an infected animal's saliva gets into your body, most often through a bite or a scratch. It can also spread if infected saliva comes into contact with your eyes, nose, mouth, or an open wound. While any mammal can carry rabies, dogs are the most common animal to transmit it to humans.
Q: Is Rabishield 100IU Injection necessary?
A: Yes, if you've been bitten by an animal that might have rabies, this injection is absolutely vital. Rabies is a very serious and life-threatening illness, and Rabishield helps protect you right away. Because of the danger of rabies, there are no reasons not to give you this injection if exposure is suspected.
Q: What is post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies?
A: Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a medical treatment administered after potential exposure to rabies – for example, if bitten by a dog, cat, or any suspected rabid animal. Rabishield 100IU Injection plays a vital role in this treatment, as it supplies immediate antibodies to help your body combat the virus.
Q: Can a pregnant woman receive Rabishield 100IU Injection if exposed to rabies?
A: Yes, if your doctor deems it necessary, Rabishield 100IU Injection can be administered to pregnant women. It is always advisable to consult your doctor before receiving the injection during pregnancy.
Q: What is the Rabishield "vaccine"?
A: It is important to note that Rabishield 100IU Injection is not a "vaccine" in the traditional sense. It is a special type of antibody that gives you immediate, temporary protection against the rabies virus. It is given in addition to the actual rabies vaccine (which helps your body build its long-term protection) as part of your treatment after a potential exposure.
