Gardasil 9 Vaccine is primarily used to protect against diseases caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV). This vaccine belongs to the class of immunisation medicines and is administered in a series of injections.

This vaccine also helps to prevent genital warts caused by certain types of HPV, as well as cervical, vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers. It is also used to prevent anal, oropharyngeal and other head and neck cancers caused by HPV Types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. The prevention of precancerous or dysplastic lesions associated with specific HPV types is another significant use of this vaccine.

It's important that you consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency. Before starting the course of injections, ensure you inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions or ongoing medications. If you observe any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue the full course of injections as prescribed by your doctor.

Protection against genital warts caused by certain types of HPV
Reducing the risk of cervical cancer linked to specific HPV types
Lowering the chances of developing vulvar cancer related to certain HPV strains
Prevention of vaginal cancer associated with particular types of HPV
Minimising the risk of anal cancers attributable to specified HPV types
Guarding against precancerous or dysplastic lesions connected with several HPV strains.

Directions for Use of Gardasil 9 Vaccine 0.5ml

A healthcare professional administers the vaccine as an injection into your upper arm.
Before administration, the vaccine should be shaken well.
The injection is given in a series of two or three doses over several months.
It's crucial to receive all recommended doses for optimal protection.
For personal advice on the vaccination schedule, consult your doctor.

Gardasil 9 Vaccine is administered via an intramuscular route.

Side Effects of Gardasil 9 Vaccine 0.5ml

Gardasil 9 Vaccine may have the following common side effects:

Injection site reactions: This could refer to pain, swelling, or redness at the site where the vaccine was administered.
Headache
Fever
Nausea
Dizziness

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Gardasil 9 Vaccine. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Injection Site Reactions: Apply a cold compress to the injection site to reduce pain and swelling.
Dizziness: Rest and lie down until the dizziness subsides, and avoid sudden movements.

The Gardasil 9 Vaccine contains Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent Vaccine (0.5 ml) that works in the body as follows:

Virus-like Particle Creation: The vaccine contains virus-like particles (VLPs) which are derived from recombinant HPV proteins. They resemble the virus but can't cause an infection.
Immune Response Stimulation: These VLPs stimulate your immune system to produce antibodies that can recognise and bind to HPV. This action stops the virus from infecting cells.
Disease Prevention: By stimulating an immune response against various types of HPV, the vaccine provides protection against HPV infection and related diseases such as genital warts and certain cancers.

Pregnancy

Gardasil 9 Vaccine is not recommended for use if you are pregnant. If you are planning to conceive, ensure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits before using Gardasil 9 Vaccine.
