Human Rabies Immunoglobulin

Q. Is Human Rabies Immunoglobulin necessary?

Q. Is Human Rabies Immunoglobulin painful?

Whether Human Rabies Immunoglobulin is painful or not depends on your pain tolerance. During your initial treatment, a healthcare professional will put Human Rabies Immunoglobulin in the area where you were bitten. This can be painful. Therefore, a relatively greater amount of Human Rabies Immunoglobulin may be required to be placed in and around the wound site to ease out your pain and treat infection.

Q. Is Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin better than Human Rabies Immunoglobulin?

Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin is more economical as compared to Human Rabies Immunoglobulin i.e., human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG). Hence, it is more affordable to patients in developing countries, like India. However, Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin has a high potential to cause anaphylaxis (a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction), serum sickness and other allergic reactions and thus physicians are hesitant to use it.
