verousa gel 10 sachets

Verorab is a rabies vaccine used for the prevention of rabies infection. It belongs to the biological vaccine class and contains an inactivated rabies virus that stimulates the body's immune system to produce protective antibodies.

It is indicated for both pre-exposure immunization and post-exposure prophylaxis following bites or scratches from animals suspected of carrying the rabies virus.

The vaccine provides essential protection for travelers, veterinarians, animal handlers, and individuals at increased risk of exposure, helping prevent the potentially fatal complications of rabies.

Verorab Dosage

The vaccine is administered by intramuscular injection into the deltoid muscle in adults or the anterolateral thigh in young children. The vaccination schedule depends on whether it is being used for pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis.

For post-exposure prophylaxis, doses are administered according to the recommended medical protocol. For pre-exposure immunization, the vaccination schedule should be followed as prescribed by the physician or healthcare provider.

Side Effects of Verorab

Pain, redness, or mild swelling at the injection site.

Mild and temporary fever.

Headache, fatigue, or muscle aches.

Contraindications of Verorab

For pre-exposure vaccination, Verorab should not be administered to individuals with a history of severe hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine.

However, after a confirmed or suspected exposure to rabies, there are no absolute contraindications to vaccination because rabies is almost invariably fatal once symptoms develop. In such cases, vaccination should be started immediately under medical supervision.

Use During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Verorab may be administered during pregnancy when there has been confirmed or suspected exposure to rabies. Post-exposure prophylaxis should never be delayed because of pregnancy, as the risk of rabies far outweighs any potential risk associated with vaccination.

The vaccine may also be administered during breastfeeding when indicated, and there is no need to discontinue breastfeeding. A healthcare professional should evaluate the exposure and determine the appropriate treatment plan according to current medical guidelines.
