Cervarix How to Take

This medication belongs to the family of medications known as vaccines. It is used to prevent cervical cancer and certain precancerous lesions of the cervix caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV types 16, and 18) in girls and women 9 to 45 years of age. The HPV vaccine works by helping the immune system protect against an HPV Infection.

HPV infections are sexually transmitted. The HPV vaccine does not help prevent other types of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

HPV types 16 and 18 are responsible for approximately 70% of all cervical cancer cases. Cervical cancer can be caused by other HPV types. The human papillomavirus bivalent vaccine does not protect against all cancers or other diseases caused by these or other types of HPV.
