Hi, I am currently taking a course of Rabipur injections to vaccinate me against rabies before travelling to Argentina. I am due for my last (of 3)immunisation this Thursday. However, I leave for my travelling in a week and am due to start my anti-malarial medication today (Avloclor). However, after reading the patient information leaflet I hve discovered that if the rabies vaccine is taken whilst receiving anti-malarials it may not work so well. Do you know if this is the case for intramuscularly injected rabipur administered when taking anti-malarials (Avloclor)?
HiT hanks for posting onChatDoctorConcomitant use of Allocator may reduce the antibody response to intradermal rabies vaccine administered for exposure vaccination. The intramuscular route should be used for people taking Allocator concurrently or due to start almost immediately after the vaccine. Since you took the vaccine I'm, there will be no problem. You may continue with Allocator as planned. Hope this will help you Best regards
