Avaxim 80/Avaxim 160 Drug Interactions

This vaccine can be administered at the same time as immunoglobulins (antibodies obtained from blood donation) in two different injection sites.
AVAXIM 80 U Pediatric/AVAXIM 160 U may not work so well if it is given at the same time as the immunoglobulins. However, it is likely that the patient will still be protected against hepatitis A infection.
This vaccine can be used as a booster dose in subjects who have received a first vaccination with another inactivated hepatitis A vaccine.
Advise the patient to inform the doctor or pharmacist if the patient is taking, has recently taken or might take any other medicines.
Avaxim 80: The immunological response may be diminished in case of immunosuppressive therapy.
The vaccine may be administered at the same time as the child's routine booster vaccinations in his/her second year, i.e. the various vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, Haemophilus influenzae type b and poliomyelitis.
This vaccine can also be administered at the same time as a measles, mumps and rubella vaccine.
All injections must be given at different injection sites, i.e. another part of the body such as another arm or leg, and the vaccines must not be mixed in the same syringe.
AVAXIM 80 U PEDIATRIC with food and drink: Not applicable.
Avaxim 160: This vaccine can be administered at the same time as any of the following vaccines but in separate injection sites, i.e. another part of the body such as another arm or another leg, and must not be mixed in the same syringe: as a polysaccharide typhoid vaccine; as a yellow fever live vaccine.
As this vaccine is inactivated (it does not contain any bacteria or live virus), association with other inactivated vaccine(s) using a separate injection site should not induce any interactions.
