Mechanism of action

Immunostimulating, antiviral, anti-inflammatory
Cycloferon is a low molecular weight inducer of Interferon, which determines a wide range of its pharmacological activity (antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, etc.).

The main cells producing interferon after administration of Cycloferon are macrophages, T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, fibroblasts, epithelial cells. Depending on the type of infection, activation of one or another immunity link takes place. The drug induces high titers of interferon 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 T-helper and T-suppressor subpopulations. Overcomes the blood-brain barrier.

Cycloferon is effective against tick-borne encephalitis, influenza, hepatitis, herpes, cytomegalovirus, human immunodeficiency virus, papillomavirus and other viruses.

The high efficacy of the drug in the complex therapy of acute and chronic bacterial infections (chlamydia, erysipelas, bronchitis, pneumonia, postoperative complications, bacterial and fungal infections of the urogenital area, peptic ulcer) as a component of immunotherapy has been established.

Cycloferon exhibits high efficacy in rheumatic and systemic diseases of the connective tissue, suppressing autoimmune reactions and exerting an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
