Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does ProQuad Work?

ProQuad works by introducing weakened forms of the viruses that cause measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella into the body. This exposure stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against these viruses. If the vaccinated individual is later exposed to any of these viruses, their immune system can recognize and respond effectively, preventing the diseases.



Common Dosages

  • Injectable vaccine: Each dose contains live attenuated viruses for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella.

Typical Dosing

  • The recommended dosing schedule is a single dose of ProQuad administered at 12 to 15 months of age, followed by a second dose of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) at 4 to 6 years of age. If the child has not previously received a varicella vaccine, the second dose can be given at this time as well.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Immunization against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella in children aged 12 months to 12 years.


Who Shouldn't Take ProQuad?

  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine, including gelatin or neomycin.
  • A history of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to previous doses of any measles, mumps, rubella, or varicella vaccine.
  • Immunocompromised states, including those with active malignancies or undergoing immunosuppressive therapy.


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Instruct parents and caregivers about the importance of vaccinating their children according to the recommended schedule to ensure full protection against these diseases.
  • Discuss potential side effects, such as mild fever, rash, or injection site reactions, and reassure them that these are usually temporary and resolve on their own.
  • Emphasize the importance of contacting a healthcare provider if the child experiences severe reactions or signs of an allergic response after vaccination.


Side Effects of ProQuad

Common Side Effects

  • Fever
  • Rash
  • Swelling or pain at the injection site
  • Mild respiratory symptoms


Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing)
  • Thrombocytopenic purpura (a condition that affects blood platelet levels).


Risks and Warnings of ProQuad

  • Immunocompromised Patients: Special care should be taken when considering vaccination for individuals who are immunocompromised, as live attenuated vaccines may pose risks.
  • Monitoring: Children should be monitored for at least 15 minutes after vaccination to observe for any immediate allergic reactions.


Interactions with ProQuad

Common Drug Interactions

  • Other Vaccines: ProQuad can be administered with other vaccines, but parents should inform the healthcare provider about all vaccines the child has received or is scheduled to receive to ensure appropriate timing.


Alternatives to ProQuad

  • Separate Vaccines: Alternatives may include administering separate vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella if ProQuad is not appropriate for a child due to specific medical concerns.
