The Hepatitis B Vaccine is a non-infectious recombinant DNA vaccine. It is a sterile suspension consisting of purified surface antigens from the hepatitis B virus. This antigen is obtained by culturing genetically engineered yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which carry the gene coding for the HBsAg. The HBsAg protein, produced in yeast cells, is purified through multiple physicochemical processes and then formulated as a suspension with the antigen adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide. No human-derived substances are used in the manufacturing process.
It is not known whether it is safe to consume alcohol with Hepatitis B Vaccine. Please consult your doctor.
Hepatitis B Vaccine is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy. Animal studies have shown low or no adverse effects on the developing baby; however, there are limited human studies.
Hepatitis B Vaccine is probably safe to use during breastfeeding. Limited human data suggests that the drug does not represent any significant risk to the baby.
Hepatitis B vaccine does not usually affect your ability to drive.
Hepatitis B Vaccine is safe to use in patients with kidney disease. No dose adjustment of the Hepatitis B Vaccine is recommended.
However, please inform your doctor if you have an underlying kidney disease.
Hepatitis B Vaccine is probably safe to use in patients with liver disease. Limited data available suggests that dose adjustment of Hepatitis B Vaccine may not be needed in these patients. Please consult your doctor.
To prevent Hepatiis B virus For active immunization against the, Hepatitis B infection
Each 0.5 ml dose contains more than 10 mcg of hepatitis B surface antigen adsorbed on Aluminium Hydroxide gel, equivalent to 0.25 mg of Al3+.
Each 1 ml dose contains more than 20 mcg of hepatitis B surface antigen adsorbed on Aluminium Hydroxide gel, equivalent to 0.5 mg of Al3+.
Hepatitis B vaccines are utilized for active immunization against hepatitis B infection. These vaccines work by introducing the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) into the body. The HBsAg is adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide or a similar adsorbent. When administered, the vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the HBsAg, thereby providing immunity and protecting the individual from future hepatitis B infections.
Hepatitis B vaccine is generally well tolerated. Most recipients experience some reactions upon vaccination, which are typically mild and short-lived. These reactions primarily include local reactions at the injection site, such as erythema (redness), induration (hardening), and tenderness. Systemic reactions, such as malaise (general discomfort), headache, diarrhea, vomiting, myalgia (muscle pain), and elevated temperature, are reported less commonly. In very rare cases, allergic-type reactions, such as pruritus (itching), rash, and urticaria (hives), may occur.
Neonates, Infants, and Children up to 19 Years of Age:
Adults 19 Years of Age and Older:
Standard Schedule (3 doses):
This accelerated schedule provides quicker protection and is expected to enhance patient compliance.
The immunization schedule and booster doses may need to be adjusted for individuals with low antibody concentrations.
For individuals with a normal immune status who have been vaccinated, the necessity of booster doses of the Hepatitis B vaccine has not been established. However, booster doses are recommended for hemodialysis patients and other immunocompromised individuals.
Method of Administration:
Preparation for Administration:
Co-Administration:
Reduced response to vaccination when used concurrently with immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids or antineoplastics.
Hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine, including yeast, is a contraindication. This vaccine is contraindicated in patients with previous hypersensitivity to any Hepatitis B virus-containing vaccine.
The effect of Hepatitis B on fetal development or reproduction capacity has not been evaluated. However, it should only be used during pregnancy when there is a high risk of infection. Adequate human data on use during lactation and adequate animal reproduction studies are not available. It may be administered to nursing mothers only if needed.
If any alcohol or disinfectant is used for cleansing the skin it should be allowed to evaporate before vaccination otherwise inactivation of live vaccines may occur. Lactation: not known if excreted in breast milk
