Cervarix Injection is used for the following health conditions:

• Guarding against cervical cancer caused by HPV types 16 and 18.

Administer Cervarix Injection as follows:

• The injection is given intramuscularly, which means it's injected into a muscle.

• It's crucial to complete the three-dose series for optimal protection.

• Shake the vaccine well before use to ensure all components are mixed effectively.

• After shaking, administer the entire contents of the prefilled syringe.

• Always seek specific advice from your doctor on how to administer this medicine.

Cervarix Injection is administered via an intramuscular route.

Cervarix Injection consists of Human Papillomavirus Bivalent Vaccine:

• Stimulating Immune Response: The vaccine works by prompting your immune system to produce antibodies against HPV types 16 and 18. Antibodies are proteins in your body that help fight off infections.

• Binding and Blocking Virus: Once these antibodies are produced, they latch onto the viruses and prevent them from infecting cells in your body.

• Protection Against HPV-related Diseases: By blocking these specific types of HPV from infecting cells, the vaccine essentially provides protection against diseases that may develop due to HPV infection.

• Store Cervarix Injection refrigerated, within a temperature range of 2°C to 8°C.

• Ensure the medicine is safeguarded from light.

• Keep the pre-filled syringes in their original packaging until use.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach from children.

• Regularly undergo cervical cancer screening. Despite receiving Cervarix Injection, it's essential as the vaccine doesn't offer complete protection against cervical cancer.

• Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to boost overall immunity. This can help your body respond better to the vaccine and fight off potential HPV infections.
