Interactions with other medicines

• Immunosuppressive agents may prevent an adequate response to the rabies vaccine from developing. Hence, it is recommended that in such cases, serological reactions be monitored and that supplemental dosages be provided as needed
• Other inactivated vaccines such as tetanus toxoid can be used with Vaxirab. Each vaccine is administered at a distinct injection location
• Vaxirab can be combined with rabies immunoglobulin to treat rabies. It must, however, be injected at a site distant from the immunisation site
• Taking chloroquine for malaria prevention at the same time as receiving the rabies vaccine may impair antibody development
