HEPATITS B (IMM) 1ML

The Hepatitis B Vaccine antibody injection works by stimulating the body's immune system to produce a protective immune response against the hepatitis B virus. It contains non-infectious viral antigens, specifically the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). When the vaccine is administered, these viral antigens are recognized by the immune system, triggering the production of antibodies specific to the hepatitis B surface antigen. This immune response involves the activation of B-lymphocytes, which generate memory B cells and plasma cells. Plasma cells produce antibodies that can bind to and neutralize the hepatitis B virus if future exposure occurs. The presence of these antibodies provides long-lasting protection against hepatitis B infection.

Injection

The following are the uses of Hepatitis B Vaxine antibody Injection:

• Used for preventing Hepatitis B, a serious liver infection.
• Used to provide long-term protection against the virus.
• Used for individuals at high risk of exposure, such as healthcare workers.
• Used as a post-exposure treatment to prevent infection after potential contact.
• Used for infants born to mothers with Hepatitis B to prevent mother-to-child transmission.
• Used in travelers visiting regions with high Hepatitis B prevalence.
• Used to boost the immune system's response to the Hepatitis B virus.
• Used as a follow-up to Hepatitis B treatment to prevent re-infection.

In the case of an overdose of the Hepatitis B Vaccine antibody injection, it is important to note that adverse effects are generally not expected. However, if an individual has received an excessive dose, they may experience increased injection site reactions such as redness, swelling, or pain. It is recommended to monitor the patient for any unusual symptoms and consult a healthcare professional for guidance. The risk of severe side effects is typically low, but seeking medical advice can ensure appropriate management.

In the case of a missed dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine, it is important to administer the missed dose as soon as possible. The timing of the missed dose may vary depending on the vaccine brand and the recommended schedule. Generally, if the missed dose is within a few days of the scheduled date, it can be given without restarting the series. However, if a significant amount of time has passed since the last dose, a healthcare provider should be consulted to determine the appropriate course of action to ensure the vaccine's effectiveness.

To administer the Hepatitis B vaccine injection, clean the injection site with an alcohol swab, draw the prescribed dose into a syringe, and inject the vaccine intramuscularly into the upper arm or thigh following proper aseptic techniques. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly, and slowly push the plunger to deliver the vaccine, followed by gentle pressure with a dry cotton ball after withdrawal.

Following are the conditions or circumstances when the Hepatitis B Vaccine antibody injection should not be administered:

• Not recommended for individuals with a history of severe allergic reactions to yeast or any component of the vaccine.
• Contraindicated in individuals with a known severe allergy to a previous dose of hepatitis B vaccine.
• Should not be used in patients with a moderate or severe acute illness. The vaccine can be considered once the illness has improved.
• Not suitable for individuals with a history of severe immune system disorders or immunodeficiency.
• Should not be administered to individuals undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
• Not recommended for individuals with a history of chronic liver disease, as the vaccine's effectiveness may be reduced.
• Contraindicated in infants weighing less than 2 kg (4.4 pounds) at birth.
• Should not be used in individuals with a history of thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) after receiving the vaccine previously.
• Not suitable for individuals with a known severe allergy to other types of vaccines.

The side effects of Hepatitis B Vaccine Antibody Injection may include:

• Mild fever
• Fatigue and weakness
• Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site
• Headache
• Nausea and vomiting
• Joint and muscle pain
• Allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing)
• Abdominal pain

Following are the precautions and warnings:

• Hepatitis B Vaccine Injection should not be administered to individuals with a history of severe allergic reactions to yeast or any component of the vaccine.
• Individuals with a compromised immune system, such as those with HIV/AIDS, cancer, or undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, may not achieve full protection from the vaccine.
• The vaccine is intended for intramuscular use only and should not be administered intravenously or subcutaneously.
• It is important to complete the full course of vaccination as directed by the healthcare provider to ensure optimal protection.
• Mild fever, soreness at the injection site, and fatigue may occur after vaccination and are usually temporary.
• Inform your healthcare provider if you have any bleeding disorders or if you are currently taking anticoagulant medications.
• This vaccine is not recommended for infants born to mothers positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) without appropriate medical management.
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider for advice before receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine.

Following are the drug interactions for Hepatitis B Vaxine Antibody Injection:

• Hepatitis B Vaxine may interact with other vaccines, such as the Hepatitis A vaccine, potentially affecting the immune response. Consult a healthcare professional for appropriate scheduling.
• Immunosuppressant drugs, like corticosteroids or chemotherapy agents, can reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine as they suppress the immune system's response.
• Antibody-containing medications, such as immunoglobulins or other antibody therapies, may interfere with the vaccine's ability to stimulate an immune response.
• Live vaccines should be avoided within a certain timeframe before and after Hepatitis B vaccination, as they may compete for an immune response.
• Concomitant use of certain antiviral medications, like nucleoside/nucleotide analogs, might impact the vaccine's effectiveness.
• Some biological agents used for autoimmune disorders could potentially affect the immune response to the vaccine.
• The vaccine may have reduced efficacy in individuals on long-term antibiotic regimens, as these medications can affect the gut microbiome, which plays a role in immune function.
• Always inform healthcare providers about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to ensure safe and effective vaccination.

Following are the food interactions for Hepatitis B Vaccine antibody injection:

• Maintain a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to support your immune system's response to the vaccine.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before and after vaccination. Proper hydration can help reduce discomfort at the injection site.
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it may weaken your immune system's response to the vaccine and potentially increase the risk of side effects.
• There is no specific food restriction after receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine, but it is advisable to maintain a healthy diet to support overall health and immunity.
• Certain foods like citrus fruits, berries, and leafy greens, which are high in antioxidants and vitamins, can contribute to a healthy immune system.
• Limit the intake of sugary and processed foods, as they may negatively impact your immune function.
• If you have any specific dietary concerns or restrictions, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding your diet after the Hepatitis B vaccine.

Hepatitis B Vaccine antibody injection should be stored in a cool, controlled environment, preferably between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F) in a refrigerator. Protect the injection from light and direct exposure to heat, and ensure it is stored in its original packaging to maintain sterility. Avoid freezing the vaccine as it can damage its effectiveness. When disposing of used or expired injections, follow local regulations and guidelines for medical waste disposal. Do not dispose of needles or syringes in regular trash; use designated sharps containers or return them to healthcare facilities for proper disposal. It is crucial to keep the vaccine out of the reach of children and pets to prevent accidental exposure. Always handle and store the vaccine with care to maintain its potency and safety.
