Benefits of Poliomyelitis Oral Drops
In Prevention of Polio
Polio is a life-threatening disease caused by the poliovirus. It can spread from person to person and can infect the brain and spinal cord causing paralysis (unable to move body parts). Poliomyelitis Oral Vaccine gives protection against polio virus. It works by helping the immune system to produce antibodies to fight against the virus. All children need 4 doses of the polio vaccine as part of their routine vaccine schedule starting at 2 months through 6 years of age. However, it is advisable to consult your doctor for complete information regarding vaccination schedules.
Side effects of Poliomyelitis Oral Drops
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How Poliomyelitis Oral Drops works
Poliomyelitis Oral Vaccine contains inactivated (killed) viruses of all three poliovirus types (I, II & III). It works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies). In the event of infection, these antibodies prevent the spread of the virus to the brain and protect against paralysis.
