Prevenar 13 Injection

Prevenar 13 injection triggers the immune system to produce more antibodies that protect against infections.

Inform your doctor about any prescribed medications, over-the-counter medicines, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal products you take or have taken before the treatment. Certain medications may interact with Prevenar 13 injection and can cause undesirable side effects.

• Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.
• Store in a refrigerator (2°C to 8°C).
• Do not freeze.

Prevenar 13 injection is administered into a muscle or deep under the skin. If this injection is recommended for you, it will be given by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administrate. Your physician will choose the dosage and administration frequency based on the medical condition because it differs for each person.

A second dose of Prevenar 13 injection is not usually given until at least three years after the first dose. Healthy people do not usually need a second dose; however, persons at increased risk of serious pneumococcal infection (such as those with no spleen or a spleen that does not work properly) may be suggested.

Side Effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Although all medicines cause side effects, not everyone gets them.
