Function and Efficacy

After being injected into the body, this product can neutralize the invading rabies virus and provide passive immunity in a timely and rapid manner, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the disease.

Ingredients

This product is an immunoglobulin obtained by digesting the serum of horses immunized with rabies virus with gastric enzymes and then using the ammonium sulfate salting-out method.

Appearance

It is a colorless or light yellow clear liquid, free of foreign matter, with a small amount of precipitate that can be shaken off after long standing.

Indication

Used in conjunction with rabies vaccine to prevent severe bites by rabid animals, such as head, face, neck or multiple bites. The earlier the injection after being bitten by a rabid animal, the better. Injection within 48 hours after the bite can reduce the incidence rate. Injection of this product is ineffective for patients with rabies symptoms.

Usage and Dosage

Usage: The injured part should be treated first. If the wound has been treated with other chemicals, it should be rinsed clean. First, perform infiltration injection on the injured part, and the remaining serum should be injected intramuscularly. (Head bites can be injected into the neck and back muscles). Dosage: The injection amount is calculated according to body weight, 40 IU per 1 kg of body weight (increased to 80-100 IU if particularly serious), divided into several injections within 1-2 days, and rabies vaccine injections are started after the injections are completed. Rabies vaccine can also be injected at the same time.

If not rescued in time, death may occur quickly. Mild cases can be relieved after injection of epinephrine; severe cases require infusion of oxygen, use of pressor drugs to maintain blood pressure, and use of anti-allergic drugs and adrenocorticoids for rescue. 2 Serum sickness: The main symptoms are urticaria, fever, swollen lymph nodes, local edema, occasional proteinuria, vomiting, joint pain, erythema, itching and edema at the injection site.
