pharmachologic effect
Pharmacological action - antiviral, immunomodulatory, antitumor, antiproliferative. Prevents viral infection of cells, changes the properties of the cell membrane, prevents adhesion and penetration of the virus into the cell. Initiates the synthesis of a number of specific enzymes, disrupts the synthesis of viral RNA and viral proteins in the cell. Changes the cytoskeleton of the cell membrane, metabolism, preventing the proliferation of tumor (especially) cells. It has a modulating effect on the synthesis of some oncogenes, leading to normalization of neoplastic cell transformation and inhibition of tumor growth. Stimulates the process of antigen presentation to immunocompetent cells, modulates the activity of killer cells involved in antiviral immunity. When administered intramuscularly, the rate of absorption from the injection site is uneven. The time to reach maximum concentration in plasma is 4-8 hours. 70% of the administered dose is distributed in the systemic circulation. Half-life is 4-12 hours. It is excreted mainly by the kidneys by glomerular filtration.

Pharmacotherapeutic group: cytokine.
Immunobiological and pharmacological properties
Has immunomodulatory and antiviral effects.
Human recombinant interferon alpha-2b, which is the active ingredient in the drug, is synthesized by bacterial cells of the Escherichia coli strain SG-20050/pIF16, into the genetic apparatus of which the human interferon alpha-2b gene is integrated. It is a protein containing 165 amino acids and is identical in characteristics and properties to human leukocyte interferon alpha-2b.
The antiviral effect of interferon alpha-2b manifests itself during the period of virus reproduction through active inclusion in the metabolic processes of cells. Interferon alpha-2b, interacting with specific receptors on the surface of cells, initiates a number of intracellular changes, including the synthesis of specific cytokines and enzymes (2-5-adenylate synthetases and protein kinases), the action of which inhibits the formation of viral protein and viral ribonucleic acid in the cell.
The immunomodulatory effect of interferon alpha-2b is manifested in an increase in the phagocytic activity of macrophages, an increase in the specific cytotoxic effect of lymphocytes on target cells, a change in the quantitative and qualitative composition of secreted cytokines; changes in the functional activity of immunocompetent cells; changes in the production and secretion of intracellular proteins.
Indications for use
Complex therapy for patients with acute hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis B in active and inactive replicative forms, as well as chronic hepatitis B complicated by glomerulonephritis.
Treatment of patients with atopic diseases, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, bronchial asthma during specific immunotherapy.

From the endocrine system: changes in the thyroid gland are possible.
From laboratory parameters: with long-term use, leukopenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia are possible.
Overdose
There were no cases of overdose. Increased dose-dependent side effects are possible. Treatment is symptomatic.
Interaction with other drugs
Interferon alpha-2b is capable of reducing the activity of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and, therefore, interfering with the metabolism of cimetidine, phenytoin, dipyridamole, theophylline, diazepam, propranolol, warfarin, and some cytostatics. May enhance the neurotoxic, myelotoxic or cardiotoxic effects of drugs prescribed previously or simultaneously with it. Co-administration with drugs that depress the central nervous system and immunosuppressive drugs (including oral and parenteral forms of glucocorticosteroids) should be avoided.
Drinking alcohol during treatment is not recommended.
