Description

Rabishield 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 vital for bites from rabid dogs, cats, or any animals thought to carry the rabies virus. The Rabishield injection should only be administered for post-exposure prophylaxis with the approval of trained healthcare professionals.

After an animal bite, it is crucial to wash the wounds and scratches immediately with soap and water. This injection is usually administered by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinical setting and should not be self-injected. For those considering pre-exposure vaccination, this involves a schedule of three doses, so it’s important to consult your doctor for further information.

Common side effects of the Rabishield injection may include reactions at the injection site, such as pain, redness, and swelling, along with headaches, muscle aches, and upper respiratory tract infections. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, please notify your doctor immediately.
