For the seroprophylaxis (prevention by injecting antibodies) of rabies in subjects suspected to have been exposed to the rabies virus, particularly in the event of severe exposure e.g.:
- Multiple transdermal bites or scratches
- Contamination of mucous membrane with saliva
- Severe bites located on the face, head, neck and hands
- When the domestic or wild animal responsible cannot be examined or is infected or suspected to be infected by the rabies virus
- Bites to young children
Rabies immunoglobulin provides passive immunization against rabies for prevention of rabies in patients after contact with a rabid animal or an animal presumed to be rabid. Anti rabies serum itself does not constitute an anti rabies treatment and should always be used in conjunction with rabies vaccine.
Rabies immunoglobulin is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution for intra-muscular administration, containing antiviral substances obtained from the blood serum of healthy equines that have been immunized against rabies by vaccination. In addition, it also contains the anti-microbial agent cresol.
