1. What Hyperrab is and what it is used for

Hyperrab is a solution that contains a large amount of antibodies against rabies. Hyperrab is prepared from human plasma from selected donors, using a manufacturing process that includes steps to inactivate and/or remove viruses.

In general, Hyperrab is administered if you have come into contact with an animal suspected of being infected with the rabies virus and it is possible that the animal has bitten, scratched, or otherwise wounded you, including contamination of the mucous membrane by the animal's saliva.

Hyperrab is used to protect you against rabies and is administered with the first dose of the rabies vaccine or, at the latest, 7 days afterwards. Your doctor will explain in more detail why you have been given this medicine. Tell your doctor if you have ever received the rabies vaccine.

Doctor consultation

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you use Hyperrab

Do not use Hyperrab:

  • If you have received the complete series of rabies vaccination. Consult your doctor if you have already received the rabies vaccine.
Medicine questions

Started taking the medicine and have questions?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

Warnings and precautions:

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting treatment with Hyperrab.

  • You may experience a severe allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis, to Hyperrab, especially if you have a medical history of allergic reactions to treatment with human immunoglobulin. Your doctor will have epinephrine available to treat any acute allergic symptoms you may experience.
  • You may experience a severe allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis, to Hyperrab if you have an IgA deficiency.

Hyperrab is purified from human plasma obtained from healthy donors. When biological medicines are administered, the possibility of infectious diseases due to the transmission of pathogens cannot be completely excluded. However, in the case of products prepared from human plasma, the risk of pathogen transmission is reduced by: (1) epidemiological controls of the donor population and selection of individual donors through a medical interview; (2) analysis of individual donations and plasma pools for detection of viral infection markers; and (3) manufacturing procedures with demonstrated capability to inactivate/eliminate pathogens.

Despite these measures, when medicines prepared from human blood or plasma are administered, the possibility of transmission of infections cannot be completely excluded. This also applies to unknown or emerging viruses or other types of infections.

The measures taken are considered effective for enveloped viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus, and for non-enveloped viruses such as hepatitis A virus. The measures taken may have limited value against non-enveloped viruses such as parvovirus B19.

Immunoglobulins have not been associated with hepatitis A or parvovirus B19 infections, possibly because the antibodies against these infections contained in the medicine are protective.

It is strongly recommended that each time you are administered a dose of this medicine, the name and batch number of the medicine (which appears on the label and on the carton after the Batch) be recorded to maintain a record of the batches used.

Before starting treatment with Hyperrab, tell your doctor if:

  • You are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
  • You are sensitive to any food or medicine.
  • You are receiving treatment with immunoglobulin products, such as Hyperrab, as certain components of the vaccine (those containing a live virus component) may be less effective in your case.
  • If you need to be vaccinated, inform your doctor or nurse that you are receiving treatment with Hyperrab. The antibodies contained in Hyperrab may reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Children and adolescents

The safety and efficacy of Hyperrab in pediatric patients have not been established.

Other medicines and Hyperrab

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.

Driving and using machines

No effects on the ability to drive and use machines have been observed.

3. How to use Hyperrab

The dose and treatment regimen will be determined solely by your doctor.

You will receive Hyperrab at the same time as the rabies vaccine. However, if you have already started the vaccination series, you may receive Hyperrab only during the first week. Your doctor will determine the dose of Hyperrab you will receive.

First, your wounds will be thoroughly cleaned with water and soap.

Second, your doctor will inject Hyperrab into and around the wounds. You should receive the complete dose around the wounds, although your doctor may decide to inject the rest into your thigh or into the muscle of the upper arm.

Third, your doctor will inject the rabies vaccine into the thigh of the other leg or into the muscle of the upper arm.

Follow the rabies vaccination regimen recommended by your doctor. To prevent rabies, you must receive all booster vaccinations exactly on the dates indicated by your doctor. If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
