ENGEREX-B HEPATITIS VACCINE ADULT – 1

Engerex B is a vaccine used to prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It is indicated for adults and children aged 11 years and older, particularly for those at high risk of exposure to the virus, such as healthcare workers, individuals with multiple sexual partners, and those with chronic liver disease. The vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against the hepatitis B virus, thereby providing immunity.

The basic uses of Engerex B include:
1. **Prevention of Hepatitis B**: Protects against the hepatitis B virus, which can cause chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
2. **Vaccination for High-Risk Groups**: Recommended for individuals at increased risk of HBV infection, including travelers to endemic areas.
3. **Post-Exposure Prophylaxis**: Can be used in conjunction with hepatitis B immunoglobulin after potential exposure to the virus.
