How to use ROTARIX ORAL SUSPENSION IN A DOSING TUBE. LIVE ANTI-ROTAVIRUS VACCINE

Introduction

Package Leaflet: Information for the User

Rotarix oral suspension in dosing tube

live rotavirus vaccine

Read all of this leaflet carefully before your child is given this vaccine because it contains important information for you.

Keep this leaflet, you may need to read it again.
If you have any further questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

This vaccine has been prescribed for your child. Do not pass it on to others.

If your child gets any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet. See section 4.

Contents of the pack and other information

1. What is Rotarix and what is it used for

Rotarix is a vaccine that contains live, attenuated human rotaviruses, which helps to protect your child from 6 weeks of age against gastroenteritis (diarrhea and vomiting) caused by rotavirus infection.

How Rotarix works

Rotavirus infection is the most common cause of severe diarrhea in infants and young children. Rotavirus is easily spread by hand-to-mouth contact with the feces of an infected person. Most children with rotavirus diarrhea recover on their own. However, some children become very ill with a severe case of vomiting, diarrhea, and fluid loss that can be life-threatening and require hospitalization.

When the vaccine is given to a person, the immune system (the body's natural defense) will produce antibodies against the types of rotavirus that occur most frequently. These antibodies protect against disease caused by these types of rotavirus.

Like all vaccines, Rotarix may not completely prevent all vaccinated individuals from rotavirus infections it is intended to protect against.

2. What you need to know before your child is given Rotarix

Rotarix must not be given

if your child has had an allergic reaction to rotavirus vaccines or to any of the other components of this vaccine (listed in section 6). The signs of an allergic reaction may include skin rash with itching, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the face or tongue.
if your child has had a previous intestinal intussusception (a blockage of the intestine in which one part of the intestine slides into another).
if your child was born with an intestinal malformation that could cause an intestinal intussusception.
if your child has a rare hereditary disease that affects the immune system called severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
if your child has a severe infection with high fever. It may be necessary to postpone vaccination until your child has recovered. A minor infection, such as a cold, should not be a problem for vaccination, but tell your doctor first.
if your child has diarrhea or vomiting. It may be necessary to postpone vaccination until your child has recovered.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor/healthcare professional before your child is given Rotarix if:

your child is in close contact with a family member who has a weakened immune system, e.g. a person with cancer or taking medicines that can weaken the immune system.
your child has any problems with the gastrointestinal system.
your child has not gained weight or grown as expected.
your child has any disease or is taking any medicine that reduces resistance to infection, or if the mother took any medicine during pregnancy that may weaken the immune system.

If your child experiences severe stomach pain, persistent vomiting, blood in the stool, abdominal swelling, and/or high fever after receiving Rotarix, contact a doctor/healthcare professional immediately (see also section 4 "Possible side effects").

As always, please take the precaution of washing your hands thoroughly after changing used diapers.

Using Rotarix with other medicines

Tell your doctor if your child is using or has recently used or may need to use any other medicine or has recently received any other vaccine.

Rotarix can be given at the same time as your child is given other recommended vaccines, such as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine, Haemophilus influenzaetype b vaccine, oral or inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, as well as conjugated pneumococcal and meningococcal serogroup C vaccines.

Using Rotarix with food and drinks

There are no restrictions on the intake of food or liquids by your child, including breastfeeding, before or after vaccination.

Breastfeeding

Based on evidence from clinical trials, breastfeeding does not reduce the protection against rotavirus gastroenteritis provided by Rotarix. Therefore, breastfeeding can continue during the vaccination period.

Rotarix contains sucrose, glucose, phenylalanine, and sodium

If your doctor has told you that your child has an intolerance to some sugars, talk to your doctor before your child is given this vaccine.

This vaccine contains 0.15 micrograms of phenylalanine per dose. Phenylalanine may be harmful if your child has phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disease in which phenylalanine accumulates because the body cannot eliminate it properly.

This vaccine contains 34 mg of sodium (main component of table/cooking salt) per dose.

3. How Rotarix is given

The doctor or nurse will give your child the recommended dose of Rotarix. The vaccine (1.5 ml of liquid) will be given orally. Under no circumstances should this vaccine be given by injection.

Your child will receive two doses of the vaccine. Each dose will be given separately with an interval of at least 4 weeks between the two doses. The first dose will be given from 6 weeks of age. Both doses of the vaccine must have been given by 24 weeks of age, although they should preferably be given before 16 weeks of age.

Rotarix can be given to premature infants following the same vaccination schedule as the rest of infants, provided that gestation has lasted at least 27 weeks.

In the event that your child spits or regurgitates most of the vaccine dose, a single replacement dose can be given at the same visit.

When your child is given a first dose with Rotarix, it is recommended that your child also receive a second dose of Rotarix (and not another rotavirus vaccine).

It is important that you follow the instructions given by your doctor or nurse regarding follow-up visits. If you forget to return to your doctor at the scheduled appointment, talk to your doctor.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this vaccine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

The following side effects may occur with this vaccine:

Common (may occur in up to 1 in 10 doses of the vaccine):

diarrhea
irritability

Uncommon (may occur in up to 1 in 100 doses of the vaccine):

abdominal pain (see also the following paragraph for signs of the rare side effect intestinal intussusception)
flatulence
skin inflammation

Side effects that have been reported during the marketing of Rotarix include:

Very rare: hives (urticaria)
Very rare: intestinal intussusception (part of the intestine becomes blocked or twisted). The signs may include severe stomach pain, persistent vomiting, blood in the stool, abdominal swelling, and/or high fever. Contact a doctor/healthcare professional immediately if your child experiences any of these symptoms
blood in stool
in premature infants (born at 28 weeks of gestation or earlier) the time between breaths may be longer than normal during the 2-3 days following vaccination
children with a rare hereditary disease called severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) may experience stomach or intestinal inflammation (gastroenteritis) and may shed the vaccine virus in their stool. The signs of gastroenteritis may include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, or diarrhea

Reporting of side effects

If your child experiences any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet. You can also report side effects directly through the Spanish Medicines Agency's online platform, www.notificaRAM.es. By reporting side effects, you can help provide more information on the safety of this medicine.

5. Storing Rotarix

Do not use this vaccine after the expiry date which is stated on the carton. The expiry date is the last day of the month stated.

Store in a refrigerator (between 2°C and 8°C).
