WHAT SILGARD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Silgard is a vaccine. Vaccination with Silgard is intended to protect
against diseases caused by Human
Papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16, and 18.
These diseases include pre-cancerous lesions of the female genitals
(cervix, vulva, and vagina); pre-
cancerous lesions of the anus and genital warts in males and females;
cervical and anal cancers. HPV
types 16 and 18 are responsible for approximately 70% of cervical
cancer cases, 75-80% of anal
cancer cases; 70% of HPV-related pre-cancerous lesions of the vulva
and vagina; 75% of HPV related
pre-cancerous lesions of the anus. HPV types 6 and 11 are responsible
for approximately 90% of
genital wart cases.
Silgard is intended to prevent these diseases. The vaccine is not used
to treat HPV related diseases.
Silgard does not have any effect in individuals who already have a
persistent infection or disease
associated with any of the HPV types in the vaccine. However, in
individuals who are already infected
with one or more of the vaccine HPV types, Silgard can still protect
against diseases associated with
the other HPV types in the vaccine.
Silgard cannot cause the diseases it protects against.
