No problem.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

If you had taken the first dose of Rabipur at hip region (intramuscular) and other doses on deltoid muscle then there is no issue.It will not cause any problem.Do not worry.

Usually we prefer and recommend giving Rabipur injection in arm (on deltoid muscle) due to complete and faster absorption but there is no problem if you have taken first dose on buttocks.

But continue to take InraMuscularly in deltoid muscle further Rabipur dosages as per schedule.

Hope this helps.
