How Twinrab Injection works
Rabies is a viral infection caused by the rabies virus which primarily affects the nervous system. Once the virus enters the body through a bite from an infected animal, it travels along nerve fibers to the central nervous system, including the brain. There, it can cause severe neurological symptoms and, ultimately, death if left untreated. Twinrab 750IU/750IU Injection contains two antibodies: docaravimab and miromavimab. These antibodies bind to the rabies virus and prevent it from entering and infecting nerve cells and other cells in the body. This interruption of the virus's ability to replicate and spread within the body is crucial for halting the progression of rabies infection.
