post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is commonly and very effectively used to prevent the outbreak of rabies after a bite by a rabid animal!.
The treatment consists of repeated injections of rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin
Treatment after exposure, known as post-exposure prophylaxis or "P!.E!.P!.", is highly successful in preventing the disease if administered promptly, within six days after infection and consists of over a 28 day period!. Thoroughly washing the wound as soon as possible with soap and water for approximately five minutes is very effective at reducing the number of viral particles!. "If available, a virucidal antiseptic such as povidone-iodine, iodine tincture, aqueous iodine solution or alcohol (ethanol) should be applied after washing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
