Bevac Special Precautions

It is suggested that the medical practitioners ascertain the pre-immunization hypersensitivity status of the subject. In general, biologicals are known to cause reactions occasionally. Sympathomimetic drug like adrenalin may be kept readily available in case of rare anaphylactic reactions due to the vaccine. While using the multi-dose vial, care must be taken to use separate sterile syringe and needle for the administration of every dose.
Before use, BEVAC should be well shaken to obtain a uniform, whitish translucent suspension. Vaccine should be visually checked for the presence of any particulate matter or other coloration, if any, prior to its administration. If in doubt, do not use the contents of the vial.
NOTE: Because of the long incubation for hepatitis-B virus to manifest the symptoms, some subjects may receive the vaccine while the infection stays unrecognized. In such cases, the vaccine may not prevent the onset of hepatitis due to hepatitis-B virus. BEVAC will not prevent hepatitis caused by other viruses such as hepatitis A, hepatitis C and hepatitis D and other agents known to infect the liver.
