Pharmacotherapeutic group: antiviral drug.
ATX code: J05AX
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Enisamy iodide is an antiviral agent derived from isonicotinic acid. It effectively suppresses action of influenza viruses and other pathogens of acute respiratory viral infections (ARI) due to the direct (inhibitory) influence on the process of virus penetration through the cell membrane.
It has interferonogenic properties and increases the concentration of endogenous interferon (interferon alpha and interferon gamma) in the blood plasma by 3-4 times.
Enhances resistance of the body to viral infections.
Limits acute clinical manifestations of viral intoxication, helps to reduce the duration of the disease.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration enisamide iodide quickly enters the blood, its maximum concentration in the blood is observed 2-2.5 hours after consumption. The elimination half-life is 13.5-14 hours, metabolized in the liver, but rapidly eliminated from the tissues (elimination half-life is 2-3 hours). It is excreted 90-95% in the urine as metabolites.
Indications
Treatment of influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections in adults and adolescents, including as part of complex therapy.
