Engerix-B-Vaccine 20 Mcg Vaccine Vial 1 ml (Refrigerator)

Product Description:

• ENGERIX B ADULT 20MCG INJECTION is used to offer protection against hepatitis B infection. It contains Hepatitis B Antigen which belongs to the group of medicines called Vaccines.


• Upon vaccination, ENGERIX B ADULT 20MCG INJECTION releases a harmless version of hepatitis B virus to which our body produces antibodies. As these hepatitis B viruses are in harmless form, our body easily destroys them and stores it as memory. Upon future exposure to active hepatitis B infection, our body releases antibodies and kills the active virus.

Uses:

• Immunization against Hepatitis B Infection

How It Works:

• The hepatitis B vaccine works by introducing a small, harmless piece of the hepatitis B virus, usually a surface protein, into the body. This protein doesn’t cause the disease, but it triggers the immune system to recognize it as a threat. The immune system then creates antibodies against the protein. If you are later exposed to the actual hepatitis B virus, your immune system recognizes it quickly and fights it off, preventing the infection from taking hold.

How To Use:

• ENGERIX B ADULT 20MCG INJECTION should be given to you only by a doctor or a nurse into the muscles as intramuscular injection or beneath the skin as subcutaneous injection.
