Pharmachologic effect

Mode of action - antiviral, immunomodulating, antiproliferative.

Pharmacodynamics

Interferon alfa-2b human recombinant has pronounced immunomodulatory, antiviral, antiproliferative properties, inhibits the replication of RNA and DNA-containing viruses.

The complex composition of the preparations (ointment, suppository, gel) causes a number of new additional effects: in the presence of antioxidants (tocopherol acetate and / or ascorbic acid), the specific antiviral activity of human interferon recombinant alpha-2b increases, its immunomodulating effect on T- and B-lymphocytes , The level of secretory immunoglobulins class A increases, the level of immunoglobulin E normalizes, and the endogenous system of interferon alfa-2b is restored. Ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol acetate, being highly active antioxidants, have anti-inflammatory, membrane-stabilizing, and regenerative properties. The use of the preparation VIFERON® as part of complex therapy allows to reduce therapeutic doses of antibacterial and hormonal drugs, as well as to reduce the toxic effects of this therapy.

It was found that when using the preparation VIFERON® there are no side effects arising from the parenteral administration of interferon alfa-2b preparations, antibodies that neutralize the antiviral activity of interferon alfa-2b are not formed

The course of treatment is 5 days, if necessary, the course can be extended.

Prevention of acute respiratory viral infection, including influenza: during the period of incidence of the incidence, a strip of gel not more than 0.5 cm long is applied to the previously dried surface of the nasal mucosa and / or to the surface of the palatine tonsils 2 times a day for 2-4 weeks.

In complex therapy of recurrent stenosing laryngotrahebronchitis: a strip of gel with a length of no more than 0.5 cm is applied to the surface of the tonsils using a spatula or cotton swab / cotton swab in the acute period of the disease 5 times a day, for 5-7 days, then 3 times in Day for the next 3 weeks.
