Product Introduction
Berab Injection contains Purified Vero Cell Rabies vaccine, indicated for prevention and treatment of rabies prior to and following exposure to the virus. This vaccine is manufactured by cultivating the rabies virus in Vero cells and subsequently purifying it to eliminate unwanted substances. The purified virus is then inactivated, rendering it incapable of causing disease whilst stimulating an immune response. Pre-exposure vaccination is recommended for travellers, those in high-risk occupations, and children residing in rabies-prone areas. Post-exposure prophylaxis comprises prompt wound management and vaccination. This vaccine is prepared from the Pitman-Moore strain of the Rabies virus cultivated in Vero cells. Rabies is an acute, progressive disease caused by the rabies virus of the Rhabdoviridae family. It spreads through the saliva of infected animals following bites or scratches. Although this infection is 100% fatal, it is 100% preventable with timely intervention and correct administration of available vaccines, immunoglobulins, or monoclonal antibodies. Patients with known hypersensitivity to Berab Injection or its components should not receive it. Patients currently experiencing moderate to severe illness may benefit from delaying vaccination until recovery. However, mild illness such as the common cold does not typically preclude vaccine administration.
Uses
Berab Injection is used in the following: Immunization before possible exposure to rabies Post-exposure treatment after exposure to a suspected rabid animal Prevention of infection for high-risk people (veterinarians, municipal workers, medical and paramedical workers)
How it works
The Berab Injection works by introducing inactivated rabies virus particles to the body. This exposure triggers an immune response, producing specific antibodies that recognize and target the rabies virus. If a vaccinated person subsequently encounters the virus, their immune system is primed to quickly recognize and neutralize it, preventing it from causing it.
How to Use
The Berab Injection is typically given as a series, with the exact schedule determined by healthcare professionals based on factors such as age, health status, and risk of exposure to rabies. The injections are usually given in the upper arm for adults and older children or in the thigh muscle for infants and young children.
Side Effects
Berab Injection cause some side effects like all medications, although not everyone will experience them. Serious: Anaphylactic reactions (severe allergic reaction) Common: Pain Swelling Pruritus at the site of injection Fever Shivering Fainting Headache Dizziness Muscle pain Nausea Vomiting Stomach pain Dry mouth

Reporting any adverse events is crucial for ongoing safety monitoring. Consulting with a healthcare professional is essential to address specific concerns and ensure appropriate vaccination decisions.
