Berirab P 750IU Injection
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Berirab P 750IU Injection is used with rabies vaccine to prevent Rabies. It works by giving your body the antibodies it needs to protect against the rabies virus. It is administered only once, at the beginning of anti-rabies prophylaxis, to previously unvaccinated persons.
Berirab P 750IU Injection is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse. It must always be used in combination with a rabies vaccine. Post-exposure prophylaxis consists of a regimen of one dose of immunoglobulin and full courses of rabies vaccination. This should be given as soon as possible after exposure. Both active (vaccine) and passive immunization (Immunoglobulin) prevent the rabies virus from infiltrating the central nervous system, but become ineffective once the virus has crossed into the central nervous system. Berirab P 750IU Injection is administered only once in a lifetime.
The most common side effects include pain, anaphylactic reaction, angioedema (swelling of deeper layers of skin), injection site stiffness, soreness, and tenderness. They do not normally last very long. Sitting or lying down can sometimes help. Consult your doctor if any of the side effects persist or worry you.
Before having the injection, you should tell your doctor if you’ve ever had an allergic reaction to an immunoglobulin. Some other medicines may react with the human rabies immunoglobulin so talk to your doctor about other medications you are taking as well. You should consult your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

FAQs
What is Berirab P 750IU Injection? What is it used for?
Berirab P 750IU Injection is a solution containing a large amount of rabies antibodies. It is used to provide protection against rabies. It is given either along with the first dose of anti-rabies vaccine(ARV) or not more than 7 days later.
How effective is Berirab P 750IU Injection?
Rabies is a 100% preventable disease. Proper wound management and simultaneous administration of Berirab P 750IU Injection combined with anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) is almost invariably effective in preventing rabies, even after high-risk exposure.
Is Berirab P 750IU Injection necessary?
Berirab P 750IU Injection is not required for patients who have previously received a complete vaccination series of rabies.
Is Berirab P 750IU Injection painful?
Whether Berirab P 750IU Injection is painful or not depends on your pain tolerance. During your initial treatment, a healthcare professional will put Berirab P 750IU Injection in the area where you were bitten. This can be painful. Therefore, a relatively greater amount of Berirab P 750IU Injection may be required to be placed in and around the wound site to ease out your pain and treat infection.
Is Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin better than Berirab P 750IU Injection?
Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin is more economical as compared to Berirab P 750IU Injection i.e., human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG). Hence, it is more affordable to patients in developing countries, like India. However, Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin has a high potential to cause anaphylaxis (a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction), serum sickness and other allergic reactions and thus physicians are hesitant to use it.
