FAQs

Bevac Adult Vaccine 1 ml contains 'hepatitis B immunoglobulin' used to prevent hepatitis B infection (affects the liver). It works by neutralizing the hepatitis B virus by provoking an individual's immune system through cell-mediated immunity.

Do not take live vaccines such as MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), typhoid, yellow fever, varicella (chickenpox), and zoster (shingles) vaccine while taking Bevac Adult Vaccine 1 ml or for 3 months after taking Bevac Adult Vaccine 1 ml. This medicine may alter the action of these vaccines.

It is given to people undergoing liver transplantation, who are exposed to infected blood products, who had sexual contact with an infected person, who are living with an infected person, or who are caring for an infected person. It is also given in babies born to mothers with hepatitis B.

The hepatitis B vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and also it provides long-term protection against the virus. On the other hand, hepatitis B immunoglobulin contains antibodies that act against HBV and it is given when immediate protection against the virus is needed.
