Comparison of addiction between Ingavirin and Lavomax

Like safety, addiction also involves many factors that must be considered when evaluating a drug.

So, the totality of the values ​​of such parameters as “o syndrome” in Ingavirin is quite similar to the similar values ​​in Lavomax. Withdrawal syndrome is a pathological condition that occurs after the cessation of intake of addictive or dependent substances into the body. And resistance is understood as initial immunity to a drug; in this it differs from addiction, when immunity to a drug develops over a certain period of time. The presence of resistance can only be stated if an attempt has been made to increase the dose of the drug to the maximum possible. At the same time, Ingavirin has a fairly low “syndrome” value, just like Lavomax.

Lavomax against COVID-19 (COVID-19)

Today, most patients suffer from mild or moderate COVID-19, so they are allowed outpatient treatment with self-isolation. The prescription of medications is based on the patient’s personal characteristics (objective health, age and premorbid background).

It has been proven that interferon preparations and agents that activate its natural production can prevent the development of covid pneumonia. Currently, a number of antiviral medications are used in outpatient treatment of mild forms of COVID-19 to help avoid complications:

• Cycloferon;
• Galavit;
• Nobasite;
• Ergoferon;
• Amiksin;
• Ingavirin;
• Interferon in the form of a nasal spray (pharmacy name - Gippferon).

The prescribed Amiksin is a structural analogue of Lavomax, that is, it is made on the basis of tilorone. The drugs are interchangeable, but only with the permission of the attending physician. Self-medication can provoke unpredictable behavior of the virus in the body.

Important! There are no drugs that reduce the risk of infection with the new strain of coronavirus. Anyone can become infected. Risks can only be reduced by following the rules of prevention (distancing, wearing masks and gloves, thoroughly washing hands, treating surfaces with antiseptics).

The cost of the drug is from 235 rubles
