Overview

Heppacine B injection is used for active immunization against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections caused by all known subtypes. It is suitable for use in neonates, infants, children, and adolescents up to 15 years of age who are not yet immune. Immunization with Heppacine B injection is expected to help prevent hepatitis D, as hepatitis D (caused by the delta agent) cannot occur without the presence of a hepatitis B infection.

Heppacine B injection must be administered by a healthcare professional. To ensure effectiveness, all doses are required. It may cause injection site reactions like redness, swelling, pain, or fever in some individuals.

If these occur, inform your doctor for possible relief methods. Disclose any medical conditions and medications to your doctor before vaccination. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should seek medical advice before getting the vaccine.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Heppacine B injection works by stimulating the body's immune system to produce antibodies against the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). It contains purified HBsAg, which, when administered, triggers an immune response. This response leads to the development of protective anti-HBs antibodies that help prevent infection by neutralizing the hepatitis B virus upon exposure.
