About Tripacel Vaccine

Tripacel Vaccine belongs to the group of medicines called 'immunizing agents' primarily used to prevent diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. Diphtheria is a serious infection affecting the nose and throat, leading to difficulty breathing, heart failure, paralysis, and death. Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is caused by bacteria that enter the body through deep cuts, wounds, or burns affecting the nervous system. Pertussis or whooping cough is a respiratory tract infection caused by a type of bacteria known as Bordetella pertussis.

Tripacel Vaccine contains 'Diphtheria toxoid, Tetanus toxoid, and Pertussis toxoid.'
