Neovir 250 mg/2 ml 2 ml, 3 pcs.

Neovir is an immunomodulatory, antiviral.

Induces formation in the body of high titers of endogenous interferons, especially interferon alpha.

Pharmacodynamics

It has antiviral (against DNA- and RNA-genomic viruses) and pronounced antichlamydial action. Activates bone marrow stem cells, T-lymphocytes and macrophages. It normalizes the balance between subpopulations of T-helper and T-suppressor cells.

In HIV-infection it has an immunomodulatory effect: increases the absorptive activity of serum, increases the ability of leukocytes to synthesize interferon alpha, stimulates the formation of reactive oxygen species by phagocytes.

The peak of interferon activity in blood and tissues is observed several hours after I/m injection and lasts for 16-20 hours. Injection of 250 mg of Neovirinum per month is equivalent to 6-9 million IU of recombinant interferon alfa by dynamics of serum interferon titer.

Pharmacokinetics

T1/2 – 1 h, excreted unchanged in the urine.
