A member asked:
Can you take immunosuppressive drugs on week after post exposure rabies treatment? i know you arent supposed to take them during treatment.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't: The bodies process of reacting to these injections requires time. If you use any form of immunosuppression in the 3-6 weeks after they are given you can dull or abort their effectiveness & place you at risk. I would confer with your treating physicians on such a plan.
