Are Verorab & Rapipur Interchangeable?
Hi there, I have been researching whether Verorab & Rapipur are interchangeable: it appears they are (unofficially) but I have only seen info on it based on POST exposure. So is it still ok to have, for example, 2x Rabipur injections, then 1x Verorab injection as a PRE EXPOSURE course?? Thanks

Thank you for your question.Both VERORAB & RABIPUR have Inactivated rabies virus as ingredient,but both are of different strains and produced from different processes and lab environment.It is not suggestible to combine both in one regimen as response to each strain varies.Hope this clarifies
