Can I Switch Brands Of Anti Rabies Injection While Being On Dosage?
hi! i was bitten by a dog 2 nights ago. and the doctor injected a Rabipur anti-rabies drug. The doctor also told that i have to get 4 other shots within a month. My question is since the doctor started using Rabipur as my anti-rabies vaccine, can i switch to another brand? what do you recommend that is more affordable?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe you had one shot of rabipur, there are other brands also but all are of the same range of cost, and you can use any brand.
The schedule is given in the folder of the injection, and you have to follow that schedule.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
