Uses of Te-Anatoxal 20 Lf|ml Injection

Te-Anatoxal 20 Lf|ml Injection is used to protect against tetanus, a serious infection caused by a toxin from bacteria found in soil and dirt, which can enter the body through cuts, burns or animal bites. It is given in childhood vaccination programmes and as boosters, to pregnant women to protect both mother and newborn baby, and after certain wounds when protection may not be up to date.

How Te-Anatoxal 20 Lf|ml Injection works

Tetanus toxoid contains an inactivated form of the tetanus toxin. It cannot cause tetanus, but it trains the immune system to recognise the toxin and make protective antibodies. In pregnancy these antibodies pass to the baby, protecting it in the first weeks of life.
