QUADRI MENINGO INJECTION

QUADRI MENINGO INJECTION belongs to the class of medicines called immunizing agents. QUADRI MENINGO INJECTION helps protect against infections caused by bacteria (germs) called 'Neisseria meningitidis' types A, C, W-135, and Y. Neisseria meningitidis bacteria can cause serious illnesses such as meningitis (an infection of the tissue that lines the brain and spinal cord), and septicaemia (an infection of the blood).

QUADRI MENINGO INJECTION is a vaccine or immunizing agent that contains Neisseria meningitidis types A, C, W-135 and Y conjugates. QUADRI MENINGO INJECTION helps your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the bacteria. These antibodies help protect you against the diseases.

A healthcare professional will administer QUADRI MENINGO INJECTION. In a few cases, QUADRI MENINGO INJECTION may cause side effects such as low-grade fever, redness, pain, and swelling at the injection site. These side effects are temporary and resolve over time. However, inform your doctor if any of these side effects persist or get worse.
