Antirabies immune globulin (human) is a drug used to prevent rabies infection. It contains antibodies that help the body fight the rabies virus. Antirabies immune globulin is often given along with the rabies vaccine after a bite or scratch from a potentially rabid animal. Immunoglobulins work to provide immediate protection, while vaccines help the body build long-term immunity.
When using anti-rabies immune globulin, vaccination should be done as early as possible and in accordance with the doctor's recommendations. Adverse reactions such as local pain and swelling at the injection site may occur after the injection, but most people tolerate it well. If serious adverse reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately.
In Hong Kong, anti-rabies immune globulin is usually injected by a medical professional in a hospital or clinic. Please follow your doctor's advice and get vaccinated promptly to prevent rabies infection.
How to use: Antirabies immune globulin (human source) is a drug used to prevent rabies infection. It is usually used after a bite or scratch from a dog, cat, or other animal that may carry the rabies virus. The medication needs to be injected around the injured area and into the wound by a medical professional. Provides immediate protection when used before or at the same time as rabies vaccination.
Dosage Guidelines: Dosage for adults and children is the same and is based on body weight. The starting dose is 20 IU/kg and the maximum dose is not to exceed 40 IU/kg. If the patient weighs more than 40 kg, the maximum dose is 800 IU. In cases of multiple injury sites or large wounds, dosage may need to be adjusted. In special cases, your doctor may adjust the dosage to ensure effectiveness. Avoid drinking alcohol during use and follow your doctor's recommendations for further vaccinations.
ANTIRABIES IMMUNOGLOBULIN (HUMAN) is a drug used to prevent rabies, but it may cause some side effects when used. Common side effects include pain, redness, swelling, and warmth at the injection site. A few patients may experience allergic reactions, such as skin redness and swelling, difficulty breathing or dizziness. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur, including shortness of breath, increased heartbeat, and a drop in blood pressure. If any unusual symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately. You should pay close attention to your reactions and follow your doctor's advice while using this medication.
Please note that the following are contraindications for anti-rabies immune globulin (human use):

4. If you are receiving other immunomodulatory treatments, please inform your doctor before using anti-rabies immune globulin to avoid the occurrence of adverse reactions or interactions.
Remember, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine to make sure you understand contraindications and follow professional advice.

Your doctor will evaluate the risks and benefits and decide whether to continue using this medication. Patients should watch for any unusual symptoms during pregnancy, such as skin reactions or allergic reactions. At the same time, you should also be alert to whether the drug may cause potential risks to the fetus.
If this medication must be used during pregnancy, your doctor will recommend following a specific dosage and frequency, as well as regular checkups to monitor the health of the patient and the fetus. Patients should avoid adjusting dosage or stopping medication on their own and should strictly follow their doctor's recommendations and instructions.
