Introduction to Gardasil Injection

HPV Vaccine consists of the active constituent Human Papilloma Virus vaccine. It is indicated to protect your body against infections and diseases caused by the human papilloma virus types 6, 11, 16, and 18. These virus types cause diseases like pre-cancerous lesions in the female genital areas (cervix, vulva, vagina) and anal regions and cause genital warts in males and females. HPV types 16 and 18 are responsible for approximately 70-80% of cervical and anal cancer cases, and HPV types 6 and 11 are responsible for almost 90 % of genital wart cases.

The HPV virus is a common sexually transmitted infection that can lead to various health problems, including genital warts and various types of cancer, including cervical, anal, penile, and throat cancer. Gardasil Injection does not cure the disease; it protects against it. It does not affect people who are already infected with the virus. This vaccine is only intended to prevent these diseases. The vaccine is most effective when given before a person becomes sexually active, as it is designed to protect against HPV strains commonly transmitted through sexual contact. Gardasil Injection is generally considered safe and effective and has been shown to reduce the risk of HPV-related health problems significantly. There are no known interactions with other vaccines.

Therapeutic Effects of Gardasil Injection

The primary therapeutic effect of Gardasil Injection is the prevention of infection, with the strains of HPV most strongly associated with genital warts and various types of cancer, including cervical, anal, penile, and throat cancer. This vaccine can help reduce the risk of developing these strains by preventing infection with these strains.


Interaction of Gardasil Injection with other drugs

Inform your healthcare provider about all your medicines, including prescription, over-the-counter, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products. Certain medications may interact with Gardasil Injection and reduce effectiveness by causing undesirable side effects.
