Introduction to Berirab P 300IU Injection 2ml

Berirab P 300IU 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. There are two types of Rabies Immunoglobulin, human (hRIG) and equine (eRIG). Both have similar clinical effectiveness in eliminating the virus at the wound site. Rabies immunoglobulin and the first dose of rabies vaccine 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 300IU Injection is administered only once in a lifetime. Berirab P 300IU Injection administration is not indicated 7 days after the initial rabies vaccine administration.

FAQ's on Berirab P 300IU Injection 2ml

Is Berirab P necessary?

Berirab P is not required for patients who have previously received a complete vaccination series of rabies.

What is Berirab P? What is it used for?

Berirab P 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.

Is Berirab P painful?

Whether Berirab P is painful or not depends on your pain tolerance. During your initial treatment, a healthcare professional will put Berirab P in the area where you were bitten. This can be painful. Therefore, a relatively greater amount of Berirab P may be required to be placed in and around the wound site to ease out your pain and treat infection.

How effective is Berirab P?

Rabies is a 100% preventable disease. Proper wound management and simultaneous administration of Berirab P combined with anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) is almost invariably effective in preventing rabies, even after high-risk exposure.

Is Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin better than Berirab P?

Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin is more economical as compared to Berirab P 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.
