pharmachologic effect
Lavomax tablets have an immunomodulatory and antiviral effect.
The active component stimulates the production of interferons in the body. After the administration of Lavomax, interferon is produced mainly by hepatocytes, intestinal epithelial cells, neutrophils, and T-lymphocytes.
After the antiviral drug Lavomax has been taken orally, the highest degree of interferon production occurs as follows: intestines-liver-blood. This process begins after 4-24 hours. Under its influence, brain stem cells are stimulated, antibodies , and the degree of immunosuppression is reduced. There is also a restoration of the T-helper/T-suppressor ratio.
Wikipedia shows that the medicine demonstrates effectiveness against a variety of viruses, including influenza , hepatitis , herpes , neurotropic viruses, and cytomegaloviruses .
The mechanism of its influence is associated with the process of inhibiting the translation of virus-specific proteins in those cells that have been infected. As a result, viral reproduction is suppressed.
Possible consequences of combination
As a result of joint use, patients may develop a complex depressed state, including suicidal thoughts and actions.
This condition is called interferon-induced depression in medical circles. This condition requires separate specialized therapy with antidepressant drugs. Active interferon production can negatively affect the body, enhancing the alcoholic effect. In other words, the negative impact on the liver, brain structures, cardiovascular activity and other body systems traditionally suppressed by alcohol increases many times over.
A patient with such a mixture may experience an epileptic seizure or acute respiratory failure (suffocation). Such reactions are considered life-threatening, so the question of whether it is possible to combine them disappears in itself.
The simultaneous use of intoxicating drinks with tablets can cause disruptions in the enzymatic production and metabolic processes of the body. The reaction to such mixing is unpredictable, so experts do not recommend following the fleeting desire to have fun at a party. The likely consequences are very dangerous, so you should not play with your health. Less dangerous is an allergic reaction that can occur as a result of mixing alcohol.
If it happens that you have to skip taking the drug, then its active components are still retained in the blood, and the body already has a considerable amount of interferon. Therefore, you should not combine incompatible things and expose your health to unnecessary risks. When combining alcohol with the drug, even if the symptoms that appear appear erased, it is necessary to call a specialist as soon as possible.

Interaction
Lavomax is able to influence both the immune system and the nervous system activity of patients. This factor sometimes causes adverse reactions such as chills, allergic reactions or dyspepsia.

When Lavomax interacts with alcohol:
- General condition worsens;
- Excessive fatigue is observed;
- It is difficult for the patient to concentrate and concentrate;
- The state of drowsiness increases;
- The ability to work is lost.
In addition, medications in combination with ethanol have a detrimental effect on liver tissue, nervous system and renal activity.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to combine it with alcohol, which has a similar effect, otherwise both of these substances will mutually reinforce each other’s side reactions.
