RAKSHARAB INJ

• India's Most Trusted Anti-Rabies Vaccine 40+ Countries Export Record: Raksharab's international export to over 40 countries worldwide including markets with stringent veterinary biological regulatory requirements is the most compelling and objective validation of its manufacturing quality, biological safety, and immunogenic potency. Products exported to regulated markets must meet the importing country's regulatory requirements for veterinary biologicals a standard that confirms Raksharab's quality exceeds Indian domestic requirements and meets global veterinary vaccination standards
• Independently Validated 7.2 IU/dose Potency Among the Highest in Class: independent NIH potency testing at the WHO/WOAH Reference Laboratory for Rabies confirmed Raksharab single-dose potency at 7.2 IU per dose 7.2 times the minimum international requirement and among the highest potency values recorded in comparative testing of globally marketed veterinary anti-rabies vaccines. This exceptional potency provides maximum confidence in reliable protective seroconversion and durable immunity across the full diversity of dogs, cats, and livestock species vaccinated under Indian field conditions
• BHK-21 Cell Line Production Consistent, Defined, High-Quality Antigen: the use of BHK-21 cell line a globally established, rigorously characterised biological substrate for rabies virus propagation ensures batch-to-batch consistency in viral antigen yield, immunogenic quality, and biological safety that primary tissue-derived vaccine production cannot match. Every batch of Raksharab produced from BHK-21 cells has a defined passage history, documented cell bank quality, and consistent virus growth characteristics the foundation of reliable vaccine potency and immunogenicity
• Provides Protective Immunity Against Fatal Rabies Virus Infection: vaccination with Raksharab stimulates the production of rabies virus-neutralising antibodies (VNA) that upon natural exposure to rabies virus in the vaccinated animal rapidly bind to and neutralise the virus before it can establish neurological infection. A VNA titre of ≥0.5 IU/ml is internationally recognised as the threshold of protective immunity Raksharab's high potency ensures reliable seroconversion above this threshold in healthy, immunocompetent dogs and other domestic animals following the recommended vaccination schedule
• Protects Both Animals and Their Human Families Critical Zoonotic Disease Prevention in the Indian context, domestic dog vaccination with Raksharab is simultaneously a veterinary health intervention and a critical public health measure. With dogs responsible for over 95% of human rabies exposure in India and over 20,000 human rabies deaths annually, every dog vaccinated with Raksharab directly reduces the risk of human rabies exposure within that dog's household and community making Raksharab vaccination the most direct, most cost-effective, and most impactful animal-to-human disease transmission prevention intervention available to Indian veterinarians
• Broad Multi-Species Application Dogs, Cats & All Major Domestic Animals Raksharab is indicated and used for anti-rabies vaccination of all major domestic animal species at risk of rabies exposure in India including dogs (the primary target), cats, cattle, buffaloes, horses, sheep, and goats with a single standardised 1ml dose used across all target species, simplifying vaccine inventory management for veterinary clinics and animal health programme operators
• Both Prophylactic Pre-Exposure and Post-Exposure (Post-Bite) Applications: Raksharab is indicated for both routine prophylactic pre-exposure vaccination to establish and maintain protective immunity in unbitten healthy animals, and as a component of post-bite rabies exposure management protocols in animals that have been bitten or otherwise exposed to a potentially rabid animal when administered promptly as part of a complete post-exposure veterinary protocol
• Convenient Single-Dose Vial Format for Clinic Use: the 1ml single-dose vial eliminates the wastage, contamination risk, and potency degradation concerns associated with multi-dose vials in clinic settings where daily vaccination volumes may be low ensuring every dose administered from a single-dose Raksharab vial is a freshly opened, full-potency, sterile product with no risk of inter-patient contamination from repeated needle entry

How to Administer:

For administration by a licensed veterinarian only using strict aseptic technique. Allow the vaccine to reach room temperature before administration do not administer cold vaccine directly from the refrigerator. Gently agitate the vial to ensure uniform resuspension of any settled adjuvant before drawing the dose. Draw 1ml into a sterile, single-use syringe using a fresh, sterile needle. Administer by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection into an appropriate site the lateral neck or interscapular region is most commonly used in dogs and cats. Use a fresh needle for every animal. Do not re-enter the vial with a used needle single-dose vials are for single use only. Observe the animal for 15 to 30 minutes post-vaccination for any acute anaphylactic reaction.

Critical Cold Chain Note: Raksharab must be maintained at +2°C to +8°C throughout storage and transport. Any break in the cold chain including brief exposure to temperatures above 8°C or freezing may compromise vaccine potency and immunogenicity without any visible change in the product's appearance. Always verify cold chain integrity before administration.

Vaccination should only be performed in clinically healthy animals animals that are ill, nutritionally deficient, parasitically infested, or receiving immunosuppressive medications (including corticosteroids) may have a suboptimal immune response to vaccination and should be evaluated by a veterinarian before any vaccination procedure. The vaccine does not provide immediate protection animals should be considered unprotected for a minimum of 28 days following primary vaccination while the adaptive immune response develops to protective antibody titres. Raksharab is not for human use. In the event of any accidental human exposure to this veterinary biological product, contact a physician immediately. Animeal facilitates enquiry and procurement for registered veterinary professionals and licensed animal health programme operators this product requires cold chain management and must be procured through channels that can guarantee cold chain integrity from storage to delivery.
