Medical Description

Thrabis vaccine is used for post-exposure prevention of rabies after contact with an animal that is rabid or suspected of having rabies. Thrabis contains the rabies virus G protein, made by recombinant technology. It contains no live or whole rabies virus and cannot cause rabies.

Rabies is a viral disease that spreads through bites, scratches, or saliva from an infected animal entering broken skin or the eyes, nose or mouth. This vaccine stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies against the rabies virus. Your doctor will determine the appropriate treatment based on the type of exposure and your previous rabies vaccination history.

Do not wait for symptoms or for confirmation that the animal has rabies. Wash the wound immediately with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes and seek urgent medical attention. Depending on the type of exposure and your vaccination history, your doctor may also recommend rabies immunoglobulin or another suitable treatment.

Common side effects include pain, joint pain, redness at the injection site, and swelling at the injection site. If any side effects persist or cause concern, consult your doctor. Before receiving the injection, inform your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a vaccine. Please inform your doctor about all the medications you are currently taking, as some may interact with the rabies vaccine.

Thrabis is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse. It must never be self-injected and must never be given into a vein. It is given as a course of doses, and completing the whole course on the days your doctor sets is what makes it work. If you have previously received rabies vaccination, tell your doctor because the treatment required after a new exposure may differ.

Uses

For active immunisation against rabies following exposure to an animal that is rabid or suspected of having rabies

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Thrabis vaccine can be used in pregnancy only if your doctor recommends it after assessing the need and the risk. Rabies is fatal if untreated, and post-exposure vaccination is given to pregnant women. Tell your doctor that you are pregnant so that your care can be planned, but do not delay seeking treatment.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

No information is available on whether the Thrabis vaccine passes into human breast milk. Consult your doctor regarding safety associated with breastfeeding if you are to take the Thrabis vaccine.

Alcohol

Alcohol

There is no known interaction between this vaccine and alcohol. Heavy drinking around the time of vaccination is best avoided, mainly because it makes it harder to tell a hangover from a reaction to the vaccine. It is not a reason to miss or postpone a dose never interrupt a post-exposure course.

Driving

Driving

There is limited information on the effect of Thrabis vaccine on driving ability. If you experience side effects such as dizziness or weakness after taking this vaccine that may affect your ability to drive safely, avoid driving.

Other General Warnings

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if
  • You or your child has a history of allergies, such as asthma or hay fever, or has had a severe allergic reaction to a vaccine or any of its ingredients.
  • You or your child has experienced any reaction to a previous rabies vaccine.
  • You or your child has a bleeding disorder or bruises easily.
  • You have previously experienced symptoms like feeling faint, fainting, or other stress-related reactions before or after any injection with a needle.
  • You develop symptoms such as swelling of the lip, tongue, or throat, or rashes with red, itchy bumps after receiving the vaccine.
  • You have a weakened immune system, or take medicines that suppress it, as your response to the vaccine may be weaker and your doctor may want to check it after the course.
  • You are taking an antimalarial medicine such as chloroquine, which can reduce the response to the rabies vaccine.
  • If you have had a rabies vaccine before, you may need a different treatment after a new exposure.
Liver

Liver

There is limited information about using Thrabis in people with liver disease. If you have a possible rabies exposure, seek urgent medical attention and tell your doctor about your liver condition and any medicines you take. Your doctor will assess the appropriate post-exposure treatment. Do not delay seeking care.

Kidney

Kidney

There is limited information about using Thrabis in people with kidney disease. If you have a possible rabies exposure, seek urgent medical attention and tell your doctor about your kidney condition, dialysis, transplant history and medicines. Your doctor will assess the appropriate post-exposure treatment. Do not delay seeking care.

Children

Children

Thrabis is indicated for adults aged 18–65 years and has not been studied in children. However, children of any age can receive appropriate rabies post-exposure treatment. If a child is bitten or scratched by an animal, wash the wound with soap and water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical care immediately. The doctor will decide on the appropriate vaccine and treatment schedule.

Heart

Heart

There is limited information about using Thrabis in people with heart conditions. Tell your doctor about your heart condition and any blood-thinning medicines you take, as these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site. After a possible rabies exposure, seek urgent medical assessment so doctors can determine the appropriate treatment.

Geriatrics

Geriatrics

Thrabis is given to adults between 18 and 65 years of age, so it is not intended for people over 65. However, rabies post-exposure treatment should not be delayed because of age. After possible exposure, seek medical care immediately. Your doctor will recommend appropriate treatment based on your health and medical history.

Allergy

Allergy

Tell the doctor or nurse about any allergy before vaccination, including any previous reaction to a vaccine. Thrabis is contraindicated in people with a known history of a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or any of its ingredients.If you have had a possible rabies exposure and have a history of a severe allergic reaction, seek urgent medical attention. Your doctor will urgently assess the risks and determine the appropriate treatment. Do not simply delay or abandon post-exposure care. Seek emergency medical help if you develop swelling of the face, lips or throat, difficulty breathing, a widespread rash or faintness after vaccination.

Directions for Use

  • This vaccine will be given in the hospital by your doctor or nurse.
  • Do not self-inject this medicine. Follow any aftercare instructions your doctor or nurse gives.
  • Thrabis is administered as an intramuscular injection by a healthcare professional. It must not be administered subcutaneously, intradermally or into a vein.
  • AFTER A POSSIBLE RABIES EXPOSURE, ACT IMMEDIATELY. Wash the wound with soap and running water for several minutes, apply an antiseptic if you have one, and go to a doctor or hospital straight away. Do not wait to see whether symptoms develop, and do not wait to see whether the animal falls ill.
  • Take it as a course of doses on set days. Attend every appointment. An incomplete course may not protect you.
  • Tell the doctor whether you have been vaccinated against rabies before, as this changes what treatment you need after a new exposure, and whether you have a weakened immune system.
  • Stay where you were vaccinated for a short observation period afterwards, so you can treat any immediate reaction.
  • Keep the vaccination record you receive and bring it to every appointment.

Storage and disposal

  • Store in a refrigerator (2°C-8°C). Do not freeze.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Discard the vaccine if it has been frozen, even if it has thawed and looks normal.
  • Store it in the original carton to protect it from light, and shake it before use if the leaflet directs.
  • Do not use the vaccine after its expiry date, or if the packaging is damaged or the contents look unusual.
  • Do not dispose of it in household waste or down a drain. The clinic or pharmacy disposes of vaccines and used syringes.

Quick Tips

  • Always have a healthcare professional (doctor or nurse) administer the vaccine. It is administered subcutaneously (under the skin) or intramuscularly (into the muscle), depending on the specific vaccine and protocol.
  • Rabies vaccines are temperature-sensitive. Store them strictly as directed (usually refrigerated between 2 °C and 8 °C). Do NOT freeze. Freezing can damage the vaccine.
  • Never administer the vaccine yourself.
  • If bitten or exposed to a potentially rabid animal, immediately wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Then seek medical attention immediately. Depending on the exposure, you might need both the vaccine and Rabies Immune Globulin (antibodies).
  • Inform your doctor about any severe or persistent side effects after vaccination.
  • If you travel to high-risk areas or work with animals, discuss pre-exposure prophylaxis with your doctor.
  • Nothing should delay or interrupt a post-exposure course. Heavy drinking is best avoided around the time of any vaccination, mainly because it makes it harder to tell a hangover from a reaction, but do not miss an appointment for any reason.
  • Complete every dose on the scheduled days. Protection depends on finishing the course, and this is the most common point of failure.
  • Tell the doctor whether you have ever had a rabies vaccine. Previous vaccination usually means you need less treatment after a new exposure.
  • A small or unbroken-skin contact still needs assessment. Let a doctor decide whether treatment is needed rather than judging it yourself.
  • This vaccine contains no live or whole rabies virus and cannot give you rabies.
  • Seek help immediately for swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, a widespread rash or fainting.

Dosage

Overdose

Thrabis vaccine will be given to you by a doctor or nurse, and hence, the chances of an overdose are unlikely. If more than the intended amount is given, or a dose is repeated in error, tell your doctor. Management will depend on the circumstances and on any symptoms that follow.

Missed a Dose

Contact your doctor straight away rather than waiting for the next scheduled appointment. A missed dose during a post-exposure course matters: your doctor will decide whether to give it immediately and how to adjust the remaining appointments.

How does this medicine work?

Thrabis vaccine stimulates the body to produce antibodies known as rabies-neutralising antibodies (RAN) against the rabies virus. These antibodies help the immune system recognise and neutralise the virus. The vaccine is part of post-exposure treatment and must be given promptly according to the prescribed schedule.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Tell your doctor about all medicines you take, especially medicines that suppress the immune system or may affect your response to vaccination.
  • Immunosuppressive treatment: corticosteroids at higher doses, chemotherapy, transplant medicines, radiotherapy and biological treatments may reduce the immune response, so protection may be weaker.Tell your doctor if you take these medicines. Do not delay or withhold urgent rabies post-exposure treatment without medical advice. Your doctor may recommend checking your antibody response.
  • Antimalarial medicines : tell your doctor if you take medicines such as chloroquine, as they may affect the response to rabies vaccination. Your doctor will advise on the appropriate treatment.
  • Blood-thinning medicines and low platelet counts: these can increase bleeding or bruising at the injection site. Tell the doctor or nurse before vaccination.

Interactions with food items

There are no known interactions between Thrabis and food or drink. You do not need to fast before vaccination and can eat and drink normally afterwards. If you have previously felt faint during an injection, tell your healthcare professional before vaccination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Thrabis vaccine is used for post-exposure immunisation against rabies, a severe and often fatal viral disease that affects the central nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord. It's given to people who have been bitten by or exposed to a potentially rabid animal, or to those at high risk of exposure (like veterinarians or travellers to high-risk areas).
The rabies vaccine is typically administered as an injection into the muscle (intramuscularly), usually in the upper arm. It is never given intravenously.
It can be given in both scenarios. Pre-exposure prophylaxis is given to high-risk individuals before potential exposure, such as certain travellers and animal handlers. Post-exposure prophylaxis is given after an animal bite or suspected exposure to prevent the disease from developing and may include rabies immune globulin, which provides immediate antibody protection.
Missing a dose can affect the vaccine's effectiveness. If you miss a dose, contact your doctor immediately. They will advise you on rescheduling and whether you need any adjustments to ensure adequate protection.
Yes, common side effects are usually mild and temporary. These can include pain, redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site. Less common side effects may include headache, muscle aches, fever, or dizziness. Serious side effects are rare.
Seek urgent medical advice after a possible exposure so that the appropriate vaccine and other treatment can be determined by your doctor.
After a bite or significant exposure, your doctor may prescribe Rabies Immune Globulin (RIG) in addition to the vaccine. RIG provides immediate, short-term protection (passive immunity) while your body builds its own immunity from the vaccine. This is crucial for severe exposures.
Some medicines may interact with Thrabis vaccine and may affect how it works. Thus, you should always inform your doctor about any other medicines, including non-prescription medicines, health supplements, or herbal products that you are taking. Your doctor will recommend whether you can take Thrabis vaccine along with the other medicines that you are taking.
Wash the wound immediately with soap and running water for several minutes, apply an antiseptic such as povidone-iodine or alcohol if you have one, and go to a doctor or hospital right away. Properly washing the wound is one of the most effective things you can do. Do not wait to see whether symptoms appear, do not wait to see whether the animal becomes ill, and do not stitch or tightly cover the wound before it has been assessed. Tell the doctor what animal it was, where on the body you were bitten, and whether you have had a rabies vaccine before.
Yes. An animal can carry and transmit rabies before it looks unwell, and a lick on broken skin or a scratch that breaks the skin can transmit the virus. Whether treatment is needed depends on the animal, the type of contact, and the local situation; a doctor decides, not you. Being assessed and told no treatment is needed costs you very little; the opposite mistake cannot be corrected.
No. Thrabis contains the rabies virus G protein made by recombinant technology, not live or whole virus, so it cannot cause rabies. Feeling mildly unwell or having a sore arm for a day or two afterwards is the immune system responding.
