Antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial.
Grippferon is a broad-spectrum drug (rhino-, crown-adenoviruses, influenza, parainfluenza, etc.). When the intranasal route of administration provides prolonged contact with the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, acting on the site of the initial introduction and reproduction of respiratory viruses. The activity of 1 bottle of Grippferon is equal to the activity of 100 ampoules of human leukocyte interferon.
To Grippferon does not develop addiction and resistance. The drug, as a rule, does not require additional symptomatic treatment (aspirin, Panadol, sulfonamides, vasoconstrictor nasal drops). Carefully selected composition, due to the additional absorbent and drying effect, allows to enhance the therapeutic effect of interferon itself.
From the first hours of taking the drug, there is a withdrawal of the main symptoms of the disease (runny nose, fever, headache, oropharyngeal hyperemia, etc.). Using Grippferon at the first signs of the disease leads to its interruption.On average, the duration of the disease is reduced by 30-50%.
The use of Grippferon several times reduces the risk of complications: bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, etc. (up to 3.2 times). The use of Grippferon for individual emergency prophylaxis gives a guarantee of protection against the disease up to 96%. Using the immunofluorescence method, it was shown that the introduction of Grippferon helped reduce the release of viral antigens found in the nasal passages of patients within 2 days after the start of treatment. Accordingly, patients cease to be infectious, the chain of infection is interrupted, which is important for organized groups. This was confirmed when using the drug for prophylactic purposes (during the epidemic in organized groups, the incidence decreased 2.5-3.5 times). The drug has been successfully used for the prevention of nosocomial respiratory viral infections, prevents the occurrence of outbreaks of SARS in hospitals.
