Product Overview

Rotarix Oral Suspension is a vaccine used to prevent rotavirus infection in infants. Rotavirus is a common virus that can cause severe diarrhea and vomiting in young children, leading to dehydration and hospitalization. By vaccinating your child with Rotarix, you can help protect them from this potentially serious illness.

Key Benefits

- Prevents rotavirus infection
- Reduces the risk of severe diarrhea and vomiting
- Protects against dehydration and hospitalization
- Safe and effective for infants

How It Works

Rotarix Oral Suspension contains live, weakened rotavirus strains that help stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the virus. This immune response prepares the body to fight off rotavirus infection if your child is exposed to it in the future. By getting vaccinated with Rotarix, your child can develop immunity to rotavirus and reduce their risk of getting sick.
