ENGERIX B ADULT 20MCG INJECTION is used to offer protection against hepatitis B infection. It contains Hepatitis B Antigen which belongs to the group of medicines called Vaccines. Upon vaccination, ENGERIX B ADULT 20MCG INJECTION releases a harmless version of hepatitis B virus to which our body produces antibodies.

Do not receive ENGERIX B ADULT 20MCG INJECTION if you are allergic to hepatitis B antigen or have major illness with high fever.
