Rabies antibody blood test

Rabies antibody blood tests are essential for anyone who has been bitten or scratched by an animal that may have had rabies. These tests help determine if a person has developed immunity to the rabies virus, and if not, whether they require post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) treatment.

If you are in the UK and are looking for a reliable rabies antibody blood test service, Neemtree Pharmacy may be able to help. Many pharmacies in the UK now offer this service, making it easier and more convenient for people to get tested and receive the necessary treatment.

At Neemtree Pharmacy, you will be able to book an appointment for a rabies antibody blood test. During the appointment, a trained healthcare professional will take a blood sample from your arm. The sample will then be sent to a laboratory for analysis.

The results of the rabies antibody blood test will usually be available within a few days. If your test shows that you have developed immunity to the rabies virus, you will not require any further treatment. However, if your test shows that you have not developed immunity, you will need to undergo post-exposure prophylaxis treatment to prevent the rabies virus from taking hold in your body.

Post-exposure prophylaxis treatment usually involves a series of injections, which will be administered over the course of several weeks. This treatment is highly effective at preventing the rabies virus from causing illness, but it is important to receive it as soon as possible after exposure to the virus.

If you have been bitten or scratched by an animal that may have had rabies, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to getting a rabies antibody blood test, you may also need to receive wound care and other treatments to prevent infection
