Patient concerns

Prevention of acene and pimples
Dr. Manju Singh
Homeopathy
Wash acne-prone areas only twice a day. Washing removes excess oil and dead skin cells. But too much washing can irritate the skin. Wash affected areas with a gentle cleanser and use oil-free, water-based skin care products. Use non- oily makeup. Choose oil-free cosmetics that won't clog pores. Remove makeup before going to bed. Going to sleep with cosmetics on your skin can clog your pores. Avoid touching or picking at the problem areas. Doing so can trigger more acne. Always use a clean towel or cloth to wipe your face. Always keep your hands clean and wash them regularly so that you may not touch your skin with dirty hands.

FAQs

What is Berirab P Injection? What is it used for?

Berirab P Injection is a solution containing a large amount of rabies antibodies. It is used to provide protection against rabies. It is given either along with the first dose of anti-rabies vaccine(ARV) or not more than 7 days later.

How effective is Berirab P Injection?

Rabies is a 100% preventable disease. Proper wound management and simultaneous administration of Berirab P Injection combined with anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) is almost invariably effective in preventing rabies, even after high-risk exposure.

Is Berirab P Injection necessary?

Berirab P Injection is not required for patients who have previously received a complete vaccination series of rabies.

Is Berirab P Injection painful?

Whether Berirab P Injection is painful or not depends on your pain tolerance. During your initial treatment, a healthcare professional will put Berirab P Injection in the area where you were bitten. This can be painful. Therefore, a relatively greater amount of Berirab P Injection may be required to be placed in and around the wound site to ease out your pain and treat infection.

Is Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin better than Berirab P Injection?

Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin is more economical as compared to Berirab P Injection i.e., human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG). Hence, it is more affordable to patients in developing countries, like India. However, Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin has a high potential to cause anaphylaxis (a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction), serum sickness and other allergic reactions and thus physicians are hesitant to use it.
