Whats That
BIOVAC V INJECTION belongs to the class of medications called ‘immunizing agents’ used to prevent varicella or chickenpox. Chickenpox is a vaccine-preventable viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It is highly contagious, especially in people who have never had the disease or have not been vaccinated against it. Symptoms include rash, small painful blisters, fever, sore throat, and body pain.
BIOVAC V INJECTION is an immunizing agent or vaccine made from a live, weakened or attenuated varicella-zoster virus. It helps to provide persistent or long-lasting protection against varicella or chickenpox. BIOVAC V INJECTION helps develop immunity by forming antibodies and stimulating the immune system. It is essential to take the vaccine doses per the doctor’s advice for effective protection against the disease.
BIOVAC V INJECTION will be administered by a healthcare professional; hence, do not self-administer. BIOVAC V INJECTION may cause side effects such as fever, pain, swelling, and redness at the injection site. These side effects are mild and temporary. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
It is not recommended to take BIOVAC V INJECTION if you are allergic to neomycin or any contents present in this medicine. BIOVAC V INJECTION should not be given to people with blood disorders or cancer of the blood (leukaemia) or immune system (lymphoma), with a weak immune system, such as patients with HIV or AIDS, who are receiving immunosuppressants or receiving high doses of corticosteroids, who have active untreated tuberculosis, and who have a temperature higher than 38.50c BIOVAC V INJECTION should not be given to pregnant women and used with caution in breastfeeding mothers. BIOVAC V INJECTION is not recommended for children below 9 months of age. BIOVAC V INJECTION should be used with caution in elderly people. BIOVAC V INJECTION may not interact with alcohol and may not affect your driving ability.
BIOVAC V INJECTION provides active immunization against varicella-zoster virus or chickenpox disease for healthy individuals above nine months of age. It benefits people who are non-immune and at risk of infection, such as healthcare workers or workers in children's day-care centres, non-immune parents of young children, and non-immune household contacts of patients with weak immune systems with no history of the disease. Vaccination within three days of exposure to the virus can reduce the risk of infection and the severity of the disease.
People who have been vaccinated with BIOVAC V INJECTION should avoid close contact for up to 6 weeks with the following individuals: who have not been previously vaccinated against chickenpox, children/adults/pregnant women who have never had chickenpox, who have a weak immune system or receiving immune suppressants, and new-born babies whose mother have never had chickenpox. Adults and children with weak immune systems who receive BIOVAC V INJECTION should be closely monitored as this vaccine is less effective in these people. In people who have undergone blood or plasma transfusion and who have taken human normal immunoglobulin or varicella-zoster immunoglobulin, the BIOVAC V INJECTION vaccine should be avoided or postponed for at least five months. Besides, people should not receive any immunoglobulin medicines for one month following BIOVAC V INJECTION . You should not take painkillers (aspirin) for six weeks following BIOVAC V INJECTION as it may cause Reye syndrome (a severe condition that causes liver and brain damage). Women of childbearing potential should use reliable contraceptive methods as it is not recommended to get pregnant for one month following BIOVAC V INJECTION vaccination.
Drug-Drug Interactions: BIOVAC V INJECTION should not be given to patients taking immune suppressive therapy (tacrolimus, cyclosporine, and azathioprine, etc.) or high doses of corticosteroids (prednisone, methylprednisolone, and dexamethasone, etc.). BIOVAC V INJECTION may interact with a pain killer (aspirin) and cause Reye syndrome (a severe condition that causes liver and brain damage). BIOVAC V INJECTION may also interact with immunoglobulin therapy (human normal immunoglobulin and varicella-zoster immune globulin).
Drug-Food Interactions: No interactions found.
Drug-Disease Interactions: BIOVAC V INJECTION should not be used in patients with cancer-related to blood (leukaemia) and immune system (lymphoma), HIV or AIDS, active untreated tuberculosis, and fever (higher than 38.5°C).
Chickenpox: The varicella-zoster virus causes a vaccine-preventable viral infection. It is extremely contagious, especially among people who have never had the disease or have not been immunised against it. Although it is most commonly seen in children, adults can contract this infection. Rashes, small painful blisters, fever, sore throat, and body pain are all common symptoms. This disease is treated with antiviral medications. Avoid contact with other people who have chickenpox and practise good hygiene to recover quickly.
