Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Xprab is as effective as Rabipur. Both are anti rabies vaccine but marketed under different trade names / manufactured by different brands.

It has to be taken on Day 0, 3 and 7 as pre exposure prophylaxis with Rabies. As your doctor about these doses.

Since there is no bleeding you do not need extended course.
