20mcg+720UI How to Take

20mcg+720ui belongs to a group of medications called vaccines. It is used to prevent hepatitis A and hepatitis B infections by helping your body produce its own protection (antibodies or immunity) against the infection. Hepatitis A and hepatitis B are major causes of serious liver diseases such as viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, and primary hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). This vaccine does not provide protection against infections caused by other agents such as Hepatitis C or E.

This vaccine is recommended for people one year old and older, especially those at increased risk of infection with the hepatitis A and hepatitis B virus. These include but are not restricted to:

  • health care professionals
  • patients and patient contacts in certain hospital clinics (e.g., dialysis, cancer)
  • sewage workers
  • daycare employees
  • military personnel
  • people travelling to areas where hepatitis A and hepatitis B are common
  • people who have multiple sexual partners
  • people who use illicit injectable drugs
  • people working or living in institutions

Discreet Packaging

Your privacy is important. That's why we send your medication inside a plain delivery box so no one will know what's inside.

20mcg+720UI Dosage

A qualified health professional will inject the vaccine.

The standard dose for adults 19 years and over is 1 mL and adolescents and children aged 1 to 18 years old is 0.5 mL. Doses are injected into a muscle and repeated after 1 month and 6 months. A qualified health professional will inject the vaccine.

For children and adolescents aged 1 to 15 years, an alternate dosing schedule of a 1 mL dose followed by a second dose after 6 to 12 months can be used. If rapid protection is needed, the standard 3-dose schedule is recommended.

In exceptional cases for adults, when travel will take place within a month or less of starting the vaccine course, an "accelerated" dosing schedule may be used: one dose is given immediately, followed by additional doses at 7 days and 21 days. A fourth dose is recommended at 12 months if this schedule is used.

In general, most people do not require a booster dose as this vaccine can provide protection for a lifetime. However, some people, such as those with weakened immune systems, may require a booster dose. Your doctor will advise you whether a booster dose is needed.

The vaccine should be refrigerated and protected from light until it is used. It must not freeze, or it will have to be discarded.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
