Defensor^® 3

Vaccine.

Defensor^® 3 is prepared from cell-culturegrown, chemically-inactivated rabies virus. The seed virus is a highly immunogenic, fixed strain of rabies virus which originated from Louis Pasteur’s original isolate in 1882. The inactivated virus is formulated with a highly purified adjuvant and a dual buffering system that restricts pH to a very narrow safe range with an outstanding comfort of administration profile. It is packaged in a liquid form.

For the prevention of natural rabies infection in cattle, sheep, dogs and cats.

Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter.

Keep out of reach of children and uninformed persons.

Use entire contents when first opened.

Contains gentamicin as preservative.

As with any vaccine, anaphylaxis may occur after use.

Initial antidote of adrenaline is recommended and should be followed with appropriate supportive therapy.

Although this vaccine has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek veterinary advice and notify the registration holder.
