HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS (CERVARIX) INJECTION – TREATMENT FOR PREVENTION OF CERVICAL CANCER
Cervarix Vaccine is a vaccine intended to protect women from cervical cancer. It is used to prevent HPV types 16 and 18-caused illnesses. It is only used to prevent the disease caused by the human papillomavirus, not to treat it (HPV).
Cervarix Vaccine is intended to prevent cervical cancer and pre-cancerous lesions in the female genital tract (cervix, vulva, and vagina) caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18. The vaccine is intended to prevent rather than treat these diseases. It is typically administered between the ages of 9 and 25. It functions by boosting your body’s natural defence (immunity) against HPV (types 16 and 18).
A doctor or nurse will provide the vaccination through injection into the upper arm muscle. To be protected, you must ensure that you receive all doses. HPV vaccinations are thought to be extremely safe, with the benefits considerably outweighing the possible health risks.
Cervarix Vaccine is given by injection to girls aged 9 to 45 years. The injection will be administered in two or three doses separated by many months. It is administered by your doctor or nurse, who will ensure that you receive the correct dosage. It is critical that you continue to take this medication unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Even if you feel OK, use this drug on a daily basis to get the most out of it.
