Verorab Use In Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy: One animal toxicity study on reproduction and development, led with another inactivated rabies vaccine produced in VERO cells, did not evidence any deleterious effects on female fertility and on pre- and post-natal development.
Clinical use of rabies vaccines (inactivated "WISTAR Rabies PM/WI38 1503-3M strain") during a limited number of pregnancies did not show any malformative or fetotoxic effects to date.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis: Given the seriousness of the disease, in case of high risk of contamination, vaccination should be performed during pregnancy, in compliance with the usual vaccination schedule.
Post-exposure prophylaxis: Given the seriousness of the disease, pregnancy is not a contraindication.
Breast-feeding: This vaccine can be used during breast-feeding.
Fertility: VERORAB has not been evaluated in fertility studies.
If patient is pregnant or breast-feeding, thinks she may be pregnant or is planning to have a baby, advise her to ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.
