Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Recombivax HB Work?
Recombivax HB works by introducing a non-infectious form of the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) into the body. This stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the hepatitis B virus, providing immunity without causing the disease. If exposed to the actual virus in the future, the immune system is primed to mount a rapid and effective response.
