Bevac Adult Vaccine 1 ml is classified as a medication within the ‘biologics vaccines’ or ‘immunizing agents’ category, utilized for the prevention of hepatitis B virus following exposure. Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This vaccine is administered if you have not previously been vaccinated, if your vaccination for hepatitis B virus is incomplete, if you have been vaccinated but it was ineffective, and if you are at risk of infection. Additionally, it is used to prevent infection in infants born to mothers who are hepatitis-positive.
Bevac Adult Vaccine 1 ml contains ‘hepatitis B immunoglobulin,’ an antibody derived from the plasma of an infected donor that targets the hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, it does not offer long-term protection against hepatitis B infection. Bevac Adult Vaccine 1 ml is ineffective for individuals who are HBs antigen-positive (those infected with the hepatitis B virus).
Common side effects of Bevac Adult Vaccine 1 ml may include swelling (oedema), redness, itching, bruising, or hardening of the skin at the injection site, low blood pressure, headache, dizziness, rapid heart rate, vomiting, nausea, joint pain, back pain, fever, fatigue, and chills. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, please inform your doctor.
Avoid using Bevac Adult Vaccine 1 ml if you are allergic to human hepatitis B immunoglobulin or any other biological antiviral vaccines, or if you have had an allergic reaction to immunoglobulin A and have been diagnosed with any blood disorders. Prior to taking Bevac Adult Vaccine 1 ml, inform your doctor about any prescription or over-the-counter medications you are currently taking. Additionally, notify your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
