Berirab P 300IU Injection

Berirab P 300IU Injection contains the active agent Human Rabies Immunoglobulin (HRIG). It is indicated to prevent passive, transient rabies infection after exposure to a rabid animal including dogs, mongoose, jackals, and foxes. This injection is formulated from blood plasma from screened donors. Rabies infection spreads when a person is bitten, scratched, or licked by an infected animal, especially when the skin is already injured. Rabies is a serious and often fatal viral disease that can cause severe neurological symptoms, including fever, headache, muscle weakness, and paralysis. Once symptoms develop, the disease is almost always fatal. Though this infection is 100% fatal, it is 100% preventable with timely measures and the correct use of available vaccines, immunoglobulins, or monoclonal antibodies. Patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to Berirab P 300IU Injection or any of its components should not receive this medication. This injection is prepared from human plasma and may contain infectious agents that can cause disease. Report to your physician immediately if you experience symptoms like headache, nausea, fever, vomiting, weakness, muscle pain, or diarrhoea, as these symptoms indicate a possible viral infection. Paediatric patients require special considerations regarding the use of Berirab P 300IU Injection. It can be used in elderly individuals, but the dose and administration may need adjustment based on age, weight, and health status.

Prevention of rabies infection post-exposure to a rabid animal

The therapeutic effect of Berirab P 300IU Injection is to prevent or treat rabies infection. It works by providing immediate, passive immunity to the rabies virus by neutralizing the virus before it can infect the body's cells and cause disease. It is usually given along with the rabies vaccine, which helps the body develop its own antibodies against the virus.

Berirab P 300IU Injection is administered as an injection, usually by a healthcare professional. The injection is typically given into the muscle or at the site of the bite wound.

Berirab P 300IU Injections cause some side effects like all medications, although not everyone will experience them.
