Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics
CYCLOFERON® is a low-molecular-weight interferon inducer, which determines a wide range of its biological activity (antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, etc.).
The main interferon-producing cells after administration of the drug CYCLOFERON® are macrophages, T- and B-lymphocytes. Depending on the type of infection, the activity of one or another part of the immune system predominates. The drug induces high interferon titers in organs and tissues containing lymphoid elements (spleen, liver, lungs), activates bone marrow stem cells, stimulating the formation of granulocytes. CYCLOFERON® activates T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells, normalizes the balance between subpopulations of T-helpers and T-suppressors. Enhances the activity of α-interferons. CYCLOFERON® demonstrates antiviral activity against pathogens of tick-borne encephalitis, influenza, herpes, cytomegalovirus, papilloma virus and other viruses. Preclinical studies have shown that the use of Cycloferon in the early stages of the infectious process leads to a decrease in the viral load (virus titer) in lung tissue. Increases the body's nonspecific resistance to viral and bacterial infections. The drug has been found to be highly effective in complex therapy of acute and chronic bacterial infections (neuroinfections, chlamydia) as a component of immunotherapy. Pharmacokinetics
When the maximum permissible dose is administered, the maximum concentration in the blood is reached after 1–2 hours; after 24 hours the drug is detected in trace amounts. Crosses the blood-brain barrier. The half-life is 4–5 hours. CYCLOFERON® does not have cumulative properties. Does not accumulate in tissues with prolonged use.
