Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

POLIMILEX is a vaccine against polio viruses of types 1, 2 and 3. It is obtained from three types of poliomyelitis viruses cultivated on the VERO cell line, then purified and inactivated with formaldehyde.

The immunological properties of the POLIMILEX vaccine allow the production of a significant amount of neutralizing antibodies to poliomyelitis viruses and immunological memory, starting from the second injection. Regardless of the general condition of the patient (including those with immunodeficiency, intestinal diseases, dystrophy), immunity to polio viruses is acquired after the third injection of the vaccine. With subsequent injections, immunity is enhanced and persists for at least 5 years after the first revaccination.

Seroconversion occurs in 95–100% of individuals after three doses.

Indications for use

The use of POLIMILEX is indicated for active immunization for the prevention of poliomyelitis.

Contraindications

Absolute:

• a severe reaction (an increase in body temperature above 40 ° C, hyperemia at the injection site over 8 cm in diameter, edema) or a complication of a previous injection of the drug;
• fever;
• acute infectious disease;
• chronic pathologies in the acute stage;
• established hypersensitivity to POLIMILEX components.

During pregnancy, the polio vaccine should only be used if the risk of infection is high.

POLIMILEX, instructions for use: method and dosage

Do not allow intravenous administration of the drug!

The vaccination room should be provided with anti-shock therapy, due to the existing risk of developing immediate allergic reactions.

The POLIMILEX vaccine should be administered by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection.

When taking a suspension, it is necessary to visually assess its appearance. If any deviations from the norm are found, it will be disposed of.

For children under the age of two, the vaccine is administered in the upper-outer region of the middle part of the thigh, for children over two years of age, and for adults, in the deltoid area.

Before injecting the drug, you should make sure that the needle is not in a blood vessel.

When using a vial with five doses of the drug, you must enter the date of opening in the appropriate field, which is located on the label of the vial. When the next dose is taken, a mark is put in the "Injected doses" column.

The recommended dosage for children and adults is 0.5 ml.

The use of POLIMILEX is carried out in accordance with the National Calendar of Preventive Vaccinations, which provides for vaccination at the age of 3; 4.5 and 6 months, revaccination - 18, 20 months and 14 years.

In children aged 3 and 4.5 months, an inactivated vaccine for the prevention of poliomyelitis is used for vaccination against poliomyelitis, for the third vaccination and subsequent revaccinations against poliomyelitis - a live vaccine for the prevention of poliomyelitis.

Children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or those born to mothers with HIV infection, as well as children in children's homes, are vaccinated and then revaccinated according to age and the intervals between vaccinations and revaccinations, using inactivated vaccines to prevent poliomyelitis.

Side effects

According to the WHO (World Health Organization), adverse reactions are classified according to their frequency of development: very often - from 1/10; often - from 1/100 to 1/10; infrequently - from 1/1000 to 1/100; rarely - from 1/10 000 to 1/1000; extremely rare - from 1/10 000, including isolated cases. The basis for the formation of frequency categories were clinical studies of the drug and data obtained during post-registration observation.

The use of POLIMILEX can cause the development of the following undesirable reactions:

• from the respiratory system: in premature babies born less than 28 weeks of gestation - apnea;
• from the nervous system: very rarely - polyneuropathy;
• local and systemic reactions: rarely - soreness, swelling and / or redness at the injection site, fever;
• general disorders and reactions in infants aged 3 to 6 months: very often - anxiety, low-grade fever, irritability; often - crying, drowsiness, malaise, loss of appetite, soreness at the injection site, hyperemia or infiltration at the injection site, rash, cough.

Overdose

Overdose symptoms have not been established.

special instructions

Patients with fever, acute infectious or chronic illness should be vaccinated 14–28 days after recovery or during remission. For mild forms of acute respiratory viral infections or acute intestinal pathologies, the POLIMILEX vaccine is given immediately after the temperature has returned to normal.

Adverse reactions to the introduction of POLIMILEX are of a weak degree of severity and short-term (disappear within 1-3 days).

Immediately after vaccination, adolescents and adults may experience fainting, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If similar conditions were observed during the previous administration of POLIMILEX, then such patients should take a sitting or lying position for the procedure.

Patients with congenital or acquired immune disorders may not have the expected immune response.

Immunization should not be delayed or considered contraindicated in premature infants born 28 weeks or earlier. The benefits of immunization in this category of children are high, but the primary course requires monitoring of respiration during the first 2-3 days after the administration of the drug, especially in the case of a history of signs of an immature respiratory system, due to the potential risk of developing apnea.

The frozen vaccine must be destroyed.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms

The effect of POLIMILEX on the ability of adult patients to drive vehicles or complex mechanisms is not known.

Application during pregnancy and lactation

During pregnancy, the polio vaccine should only be used if the risk of infection is high. It was found that vaccination of women against poliomyelitis during gestation does not have a negative effect on the course of pregnancy and the health of the fetus or newborn.

During the period of breastfeeding, it is allowed to vaccinate POLIMILEX.
