Immune Sera And Immunoglobulins

Indication Dosage

Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) is used to prevent the rabies virus from spreading in the body after a potential exposure to rabies. It's typically given alongside the rabies vaccine when someone is bitten by an animal that might have rabies or in other situations where there's a risk of rabies infection. RIG helps the body's immune system fight the rabies virus and provides protection until the rabies vaccine can kick in.
