Equirab 1500 IU Injection – Rabies Immunoglobulin for Post-Exposure Treatment

Equirab 1500 Injection is a Human Rabies Immunoglobulin (HRIG) used for immediate passive immunization against rabies following suspected or confirmed exposure to the rabies virus. It is administered as part of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), especially after animal bites, scratches, or saliva contact with broken skin or mucous membranes.

This injection provides ready-made antibodies that help neutralize the rabies virus at the wound site, offering immediate protection until the rabies vaccine stimulates the body’s own immune response. Equirab 1500 IU is typically given along with the first dose of the rabies vaccine, as recommended by healthcare professionals.

Key Benefits:

• Provides immediate protection against rabies infection

• Essential for Category III rabies exposures

• Used alongside rabies vaccination for complete PEP

• Helps neutralize the virus before it spreads to the nervous system
