Possible violation of mental status in the appointment with funds that affect the central nervous system. Increases the risk of severe myelosuppression with vinblastine.

Chronic hepatitis B - 10-15 million IU (maximum 7.5 million IU / m2) 3 times a week for 12 weeks.

Chronic hepatitis C - 5 million IU 3 times a week for 48 weeks.

Kidney cancer - 3 million IU daily, increasing to 30-60 million IU per week.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia - the first 3 weeks (after stabilizing the number of leukocytes at a level of 20 x 109 / L for 4 weeks on standard chemotherapy) - 3 million IU daily, then the dose is selected to maintain the number of leukocytes at a level of 2-5 x 109 / L , The course - 6 months.

Pointed condyloma - 5 million IU (3 IU / m2) every day for 14 days, then 3 times a week (6-8 weeks).

Children: chronic hepatitis B - up to 10 million IU / m2.

Precautionary measures

Regular monitoring of peripheral blood parameters is mandatory. With care appoint to patients with kidney pathology, cardiovascular system, decompensated liver disease, CNS diseases, mental disorders (in the anamnesis). It should not be combined with immunosuppressive drugs (including corticosteroids), which accelerate the replication of the virus.
