GROUP Antiviral - interferons

COMPOSITION Interferon alpha-2b, taurine.

INTERNATIONAL NON-PROPENTED NAME Interferon alpha-2b+Taurine

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION Has local and systemic effects. The drug contains recombinant human interferon alpha-2b. Interferon alpha-2b has antiviral, immunomodulatory, antiproliferative and antibacterial effects. The immunomodulatory effect is manifested, first of all, by enhancing cell-mediated reactions of the immune system, which increases the effectiveness of the immune response against viruses, intracellular parasites and cells that have undergone tumor transformation. Activation under the influence of interferon of leukocytes contained in all layers of the mucous membrane ensures their active participation in the elimination of pathological foci; in addition, due to the influence of interferon, restoration of the production of secretory immunoglobulin A is achieved. The antibacterial effect is mediated by reactions of the immune system, enhanced under the influence of interferon. Taurine helps normalize metabolic processes and tissue regeneration, has membrane-stabilizing and immunomodulatory effects. Taurine helps maintain the biological activity of interferon, enhancing the therapeutic effect of the drug. With rectal administration of the drug, high bioavailability of interferon is observed, and therefore both local and pronounced systemic immunomodulatory effects are achieved; when used intravaginally, due to the high concentration at the site of infection and fixation on the cells of the mucous membrane, a pronounced local antiviral, antiproliferative and antibacterial effect is achieved, while the systemic effect is insignificant due to the low absorption capacity of the vaginal mucosa. The maximum concentration of interferon in the blood serum is achieved 5 hours after administration of the drug. The main route of elimination of β-interferon is renal catabolism. The half-life is 12 hours, which necessitates the use of the drug 2 times a day.

INDICATIONS FOR USE For the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the urogenital tract in children and women, including pregnant women. As a component of complex therapy - for the treatment of other infectious diseases of viral etiology.

CONTRAINDICATIONS Individual intolerance to interferon and other substances included in the drug. With caution: Exacerbation of allergic and autoimmune diseases. Use during pregnancy and lactation: Clinical studies have proven the effectiveness and safety of using the drug in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The safety of using the drug in the first trimester of pregnancy has not been studied.

SIDE EFFECTS Local allergic reactions (itching and burning sensation in the vagina). These phenomena are reversible and disappear within 72 hours after cessation of administration. Continuation of treatment is possible after consultation with a doctor. Phenomena that occur with the use of all types of interferon alfa-2b may be observed, such as chills, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, muscle and headaches, joint pain, sweating, as well as leukemia and thrombocytopenia. In these cases, it is recommended to consult your doctor to decide whether to discontinue the drug or reduce the dose.

INTERACTION The drug is most effective as a component of complex therapy. When combined with antibacterial, fungicidal and antiviral drugs, mutual potentiation of action is observed, which makes it possible to achieve a high total therapeutic effect

pharmachologic effect

The drug Genferon Light, nasal drops, has antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, antibacterial effects, has local regenerating, membrane-stabilizing and antioxidant properties. Interferon alpha blocks the proliferation of viruses at the stage of synthesis of specific proteins and prevents infection of uninfected cells of the nasal mucosa, which is the site of pathogen invasion and the primary focus of inflammation during respiratory infections. The immunomodulatory effect is manifested by an increase in cell-mediated reactions of the immune system, which increases the effectiveness of the immune response against foreign agents. This is achieved through the activation of CD8+ T-killers, NK cells (natural killer cells), increased differentiation of B-lymphocytes and their production of antibodies, activation of the monocyte-macrophage system and phagocytosis, as well as increased expression of molecules of the main histocompatibility complex type 1, which increases the likelihood recognition of infected cells by cells of the immune system. Activation under the influence of interferon of leukocytes contained in all layers of the mucous membrane ensures their active participation in the elimination of pathological foci; in addition, due to the influence of interferon, restoration of the production of secretory immunoglobulin A is achieved. The antibacterial effect is mediated by reactions of the immune system, enhanced by the iodine influence of interferon. Taurine, which is part of the drug, normalizes metabolic processes in tissues, promotes regeneration and faster restoration of the nasal mucosa, damaged by the pathological process.

Indications for use

Treatment of influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections in children aged 29 days to 14 years.

Mode of application

At the first signs of the disease, Genferon Light is instilled into the nose for 5 days. Children from 29 days to 11 months 29 days - 1 drop in each nasal passage 5 times a day (single dose 1,000 IU, daily dose 5,000 IU). Children from 1 to 3 years old - 2 drops in each nasal passage 3-4 times a day (single dose 2,000 IU. daily dose 6,000-8,000 IU). Children from 3 to 14 years old - 2 drops in each nasal passage 4- 5 times a day (single dose 2,000 IU, daily dose - 8,000-10,000 IU).

Interaction

The simultaneous use of intranasal vasoconstrictor drugs is not recommended, as this causes additional dryness of the nasal mucosa.

Pharmacodynamics: a combination drug, the effect of which is determined by the components included in its composition. Has local and systemic effects. Interferon alpha-2 has antiviral, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects. Under the influence of interferon alpha-2, the activity of natural killer cells, T-helper cells, phagocytes, as well as the intensity of differentiation of B-lymphocytes in the body increases. Activation of leukocytes contained in all layers of the mucous membrane ensures their active participation in the elimination of primary pathological foci and ensures restoration of the production of secretory immunoglobulin A. Interferon alpha-2 also directly inhibits the replication and transcription of viruses and chlamydia. Taurine, which is part of the drug, has regenerating, reparative, membrane- and hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Anestezin is a local anesthetic. Reduces the permeability of the cell membrane to sodium ions, displaces calcium ions from receptors located on the inner surface of the membrane, and blocks the conduction of nerve impulses. Prevents the occurrence of pain impulses at the endings of sensory nerves and their conduction along nerve fibers.

Pharmacokinetics: When administered vaginally or rectally, interferon alfa-2 is absorbed through the mucous membrane, enters the surrounding tissues, and enters the lymphatic system, providing a systemic effect. Also, due to partial fixation on the cells of the mucous membrane, it has a local effect. A decrease in the level of serum interferon 12 hours after administration of GENFERON® necessitates its repeated administration.

Interaction: GENFERON® is most effective in combination with medications (including antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs) used to treat urogenital diseases. It is recommended to simultaneously use vitamins E and C, which enhance the effect of interferon. Non-narcotic analgesics and anticholinesterase drugs enhance the effect of anesthesin. Anestezin reduces the antibacterial activity of sulfonamides.
