Anti-Herpes Zoster

Herpes zoster is a painful, burning rash. It usually appears on one part of the body and can last for several weeks. It can cause long-lasting severe pain and scarring. Bacterial skin infections, weakness, muscle paralysis, hearing or vision loss may occur less frequently. Herpes zoster is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you have had chickenpox, the virus that caused it remains in the body of nerve cells. Sometimes after many years, the virus becomes active again and causes herpes zoster.

Vaccination is indicated in the following cases:

Immunization of patients from 50 years of age for the prevention of herpes zoster and post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), reduce pain associated with acute or chronic herpes zoster.

Scheme type:

Single dose.
