Can I get rabies vaccine while taking anti-inflammatory drugs?

Rabies vaccine is an injection that needs to be given after being bitten or scratched by stray dogs or pets. Rabies vaccine can help the patient's body to develop resistance, while preventing pathogen infection caused by bites from stray pets. However, everyone should know that anti-inflammatory drugs and rabies vaccines cannot be taken together, and it is best to check in the hospital.

Vaccination reaction

Local reactions: A few cases experience pain, redness, swelling, nodules, itching, and even edema and swollen lymph nodes at the injection site. Systemic reactions: Refined VERO cell rabies vaccine and refined hamster kidney cell vaccine are purified and contain very few impurities, so adverse reactions to vaccination are rare or mild.

(2) Taboos

Therapeutic vaccination: Since rabies is a fatal disease, any contraindications are secondary to saving lives. Therefore, there are no contraindications for prevention after being bitten by a rabid animal.

Preventive vaccination: On the premise that there will be no chance of contact with infectious sources and rabies virus in the near future, vaccination can be postponed for pregnant women, those with acute diseases, allergies, or those using steroids and immunosuppressants.

Use with caution in patients allergic to streptomycin and neomycin.

Precautions

(1) If the product is found to have clots that cannot be shaken apart or discoloration, or if the ampoule is cracked, or if the liquid vaccine has been frozen, it must not be used.

(2) Vaccines should be used within their validity period.

(3) You can work as usual during the vaccination period, but avoid consuming irritating foods such as alcohol and strong tea, or engaging in strenuous labor to avoid causing reactions.

(4) For those who are seriously bitten, anti-rabies serum must be used in combination.

(5) Have 1:1000 epinephrine on standby.

Frequently asked questions

1.What is rabies vaccine?

Rabies vaccine is a vaccine with a long history. The first person to produce rabies vaccine was Pasteur of France. In 1882, it successfully applied the method of serial passaging to weaken the virulence of the virus and used adapted virus strains to produce vaccines. The rabies vaccine currently produced in my country is made by inoculating primary hamster kidney cells with fixed rabies virus. After cultivation, the venom is harvested, concentrated, purified, refined, and added with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. After passing comprehensive testing, it becomes a vaccine for preventing rabies.

2. Why can rabies vaccination prevent rabies?

There is only one serotype of rabies virus, and the antigenic properties of rabies virus are the same around the world. After vaccination with rabies vaccine, anti-rabies virus antibodies may appear in human blood. These antibodies can prevent the virus from spreading directly between cells and reduce the amount of virus proliferation. At the same time, they can also eliminate free rabies viruses and prevent the virus from reproducing and spreading, thereby preventing rabies.
