About Xprab Vaccine

Xprab Vaccine belongs to the category of medicine called immunizing agent used to prevent rabies disease. Rabies is caused by a virus called the rabies virus. It is transmitted to humans and other animals through close contact with saliva from infected animals (bites, scratches, licks on broken skin and mucous membranes). Rabies' symptoms include pain or itching at the site of the bite wound, fever, hydrophobia (fear of water), and intolerance to noise, bright light or air.

Xprab Vaccine contains 'Rabies Vaccine, Human' that provides long-lasting protection against infection from the rabies virus. Xprab Vaccine helps develop immunity by forming antibodies that protect against infection caused by rabies viruses. It is essential to complete the vaccine course to prevent this fatal disease.

Xprab Vaccine will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer it. In some cases, you may experience some common side effects like feeling unwell, headache, muscle pain, fever, nausea, injection site swelling, injection site redness, itching, or bruising at the injection site. Most of these side effects of Xprab Vaccine do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent and worsen, reach out to your doctor.

If you are allergic to Xprab Vaccine or any other vaccination, please tell your doctor. Please inform your doctor if you are using any prescription and non-prescription medications, including vitamins and herbal supplements. Consult your doctor before taking Xprab Vaccine if you are pregnant, planning for a pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Xprab Vaccine is a cold chain vaccine, and so it has to be stored in the refrigerator between 2-8°C else its efficiency might be lost. Do not freeze.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Rabies: It is a viral disease that causes serious infection, progressive and fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. It is transmitted to humans and other animals through close contact with saliva from infected animals (bites, scratches, licks on broken skin and mucous membranes). It has two forms: Furious rabies (characterized by hyperactivity and hallucinations) and Paralytic rabies (characterized by paralysis and coma). Furious rabies symptoms are hyperactivity, excitable behaviour, hydrophobia (fear of water), aerophobia (fear of drafts or fresh air) and death that occurs after a few days due to cardio-respiratory arrest. Paralytic rabies runs a less dramatic and usually longer course than the furious form. Symptoms are muscles gradually becoming paralyzed, starting at the bite or scratch site, a coma slowly develops, and eventually, death occurs.
