Uses, side effects, dosage information & price range
About this medicine
5 micrograms HBVaxPro is indicated for active immunisation against hepatitis-B-virus infection caused by all known subtypes in individuals from birth through 15 years of age considered at risk of exposure to hepatitis-B virus. The specific at-risk categories to be immunised are to be determined on the basis of the official recommendations. It can be expected that hepatitis D will also be prevented by immunisation with HBVaxPro as hepatitis D (caused by the delta agent) does not occur in the absence of hepatitis-B infection. 10 micrograms HBVaxPro is indicated for active immunisation against hepatitis-B-virus infection caused by all known subtypes in individuals 16 years of age or more considered at risk of exposure to hepatitis-B virus. The specific at-risk categories to be immunised are to be determined on the basis of the official recommendations. It can be expected that hepatitis D will also be prevented by immunisation with HBVaxPro as hepatitis D (caused by the delta agent) does not occur in the absence of hepatitis-B infection. 40 micrograms HBVaxPro is indicated for the active immunisation against hepatitis-B-virus infection caused by all known subtypes in predialysis and dialysis adult patients. It can be expected that hepatitis D will also be prevented by immunisation with HBVaxPro as hepatitis D (caused by the delta agent) does not occur in the absence of hepatitis B infection.
