About XPRAB INJECTION 2ML

XPRAB INJECTION 2ML is an immunoglobulin that contains antibodies that act against rabies. Rabies is a viral disease that spread from dogs to humans through bites or scratches, usually via saliva. This medicine is given to bitten, scratched or had any injury from the suspected animal with rabies.

Inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen. Seek medical injection immediately if you have any allergic reaction such as swelling of the face, shortness of breath, hives (urticaria), wheezing, or flushing (reddening of the face) after taking this injection. Also, inform your doctor even if you feel sick after taking this medicine.
