What is Imogam rabies-ht (human)?

Imogam Rabies-HT is used to protect people who have been bitten by animals (post-exposure). Imogam Rabies-HT is given together with a full series of rabies vaccination. This medicine by itself will not protect against rabies.

You will not need Imogam Rabies-HT if you have received a rabies vaccine in the past.

Imogam Rabies-HT may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Imogam Rabies-HT is given together with a full series of rabies vaccination. Imogam Rabies-HT by itself will not protect against rabies.

How should I use Imogam rabies-ht (human)

Imogam Rabies-HT is injected into a muscle, or directly into or near the wound (animal bite or scratch) that exposed you to the rabies virus. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.

Imogam Rabies-HT is given when you receive the first of your series of rabies vaccine doses, or within 7 days afterward.

Be sure to receive all recommended doses of rabies vaccine or you may not be fully protected against disease.

Before Taking

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • an allergic reaction to a human immune globulin product;

  • an immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency;

  • heart problems;

  • coronary artery disease (clogged arteries);

  • a stroke or blood clot;

  • a blood cell or blood-clotting disorder;

  • high triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood);

  • an "in-dwelling" catheter; or

  • if you have been bed-ridden.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Imogam Rabies-HT is made from donated human plasma and may contain viruses or other infectious agents. Donated plasma is tested and treated to reduce the risk of contamination, but there is still a small possibility it could transmit disease. Ask your doctor about any possible risk.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Imogam Rabies-HT is used as a single dose and does not have a daily dosing schedule.

What happens if I overdose?

Since Imogam Rabies-HT is given by a healthcare professional in a medical setting, an overdose is unlikely to occur.

What should I avoid while using Imogam rabies-ht (human)?

Do not receive a "live" vaccine while using Imogam Rabies-HT, and for at least 3 months afterward. The vaccine may not work as well and may not fully protect you from disease. Live vaccines include measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), polio, rotavirus, typhoid, yellow fever, varicella (chickenpox), and zoster (shingles).

Wait at least 4 months after receiving Imogam Rabies-HT before you get a measles vaccine.
