Medications for Rabies   

A benzalkonium chloride or virucidal medium such as a povidon-iodine solution are used to wash out the bite.  A tetanus shot is recommended to prevent bacteria from infecting the body.  There are 2 different types of rabies vaccinations.  The first is HDCV or Imovac and is a human diploid cell shot.  The second is PCECV or Rabavert and is a chick embryo vaccine.  A human rabies immunoglobulin is also administered for immediate prevention.  This is called either Hyperab or Imogam.
