Onco-BCG (BCG for Immunotherapy I.P.) for intravesical instillation is a live freeze dried preparation derived from attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis (Bacillus Calmette Guerin).
The main use of BCG is for vaccination against tuberculosis. BCG vaccine can be administered after birth intradermally. BCG vaccination can cause a false positive Mantoux test, although a very high-grade reading is usually due to active disease.
