Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies virus exposure, including bites, scratches, or mucous membrane contact with saliva from confirmed or suspected rabid animals. Used in conjunction with rabies vaccine for comprehensive protection.
Contains rabies virus-neutralizing antibodies that provide immediate passive immunization by binding to and neutralizing the rabies virus at the exposure site and systemically, bridging the gap until active immunity from vaccination develops (typically 7-14 days).
Should be administered as soon as possible after exposure, ideally within the wound or at the site of contact. Dose and administration should follow WHO and local public health guidelines. Not a substitute for rabies vaccination, which is required for long-term immunity. Patients should be monitored for hypersensitivity reactions. Availability and specific formulations may vary by country.
