Product Introduction
Revac-B Injection 1ml contains the active ingredient human hepatitis B immunoglobulin, which is an antiviral agent. It is used in adults and children to provide protection against hepatitis B virus, typically administered alongside hepatitis B vaccine. Hepatitis B virus causes damage to the liver and can progressively impair liver function. This medicine may also be administered to newborn infants born to mothers with hepatitis B virus infection.
Do not use this drug if you are allergic to hepatitis B immunoglobulin or any other ingredients in the formulation.
This injection is typically given if you have been exposed to hepatitis B infection or if your previous hepatitis B vaccination did not produce adequate protection. It is also administered if you are undergoing kidney dialysis (whilst waiting for hepatitis B vaccination to become fully effective).
Before receiving Revac-B Injection 1ml, inform your doctor if you have any allergic reactions or blood disorders including blood clotting abnormalities. Notify your doctor if you have IgA deficiency, high blood pressure, diabetes, have recently received any vaccinations, or are planning to receive any vaccination, particularly MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine or Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.
