Reafferon-ES-Lipint is the world’s only oral interferon-alpha-2. Interferon in its pure form cannot be taken orally, as it is easily broken down by enzymes in the stomach. Reafferon-ES-Lipint is enclosed in liposomes, which protect it from degradation in the body.
Referon-ES-Lipint enters the body in the most natural way – by mouth. Non-traumatic administration of the drug is very important in the treatment of children. It ensures a long stay of interferon in the blood. The liposome shell is resistant to the aggressive environment of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract.
The interferon enclosed in the liposome almost completely passes through the gastrointestinal tract, enters the liver, where it is absorbed into the blood, and slowly begins to be released gradually. When taking Lipint the content of the body’s own interferon is 100% higher than when injecting Reafferon EC. Maximum suitable for emergency prevention of colds and flu. Prophylactic intake of Lipinta reduces the likelihood of disease by more than 2 times. There is no risk of needle transmission of dangerous viral infections (AIDS, hepatitis).
In the composition of Reafferon-ES Lipint contains antioxidants – vitamins E and C. It was found that the use of interferon together with vitamins E and C increases the antiviral effect of interferon by 14 times. When interferon and antioxidants (vitamins E and C) are used together in the therapy of children, the toxic effect of IFN on the growing body is neutralized.
It has antiviral, immunomodulatory and antitumor activity.
Indications
Reaferon is used for viral and tumor diseases.
The drug is effective against viral hepatitis. Prescribed to adults in the complex therapy of acute viral hepatitis B. The drug is most effective at the beginning of the icteric period until the 5th day of illness. In case of developed hepatic coma and cholestatic hepatitis, the drug is not very effective.
Used for viral conjunctivitis, keratoconjunctivitis, keratitis, uveitis, as well as for hairy cell leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, and kidney cancer. There is also data on the use of reaferon in the complex therapy of multiple sclerosis.
Pharmacological effect
Reaferon-ES-Lipint is the only oral interferon-alpha-2 in the world. Interferon in its pure form cannot be taken orally, as it easily breaks down under the action of enzymes in the stomach. Reaferon-ES-Lipint is enclosed in liposomes, which protect it from destruction in the body.
Reaferon-ES-Lipint enters the body in the most natural way – through the mouth. Non-traumatic administration of the drug is very important when treating children. Ensures that interferon remains in the blood for a long time. The liposome shell is resistant to the aggressive environment of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract.
Interferon enclosed in a liposome passes almost completely through the gastrointestinal tract, enters the liver, is absorbed into the blood there, and begins to be slowly, gradually released. When taking Lipint, the content of the body’s own interferon is 100% higher than when administering injectable Reaferon-EC. Ideally suited for emergency prevention of colds and flu. Prophylactic use of Lipint reduces the likelihood of disease by more than 2 times. There is no risk of transmitting dangerous viral infections (AIDS, hepatitis) with a needle.
Reaferon-EC Lipinta contains antioxidants – vitamins E and C. It has been established that the use of interferon together with vitamins E and C enhances the antiviral effect of interferon by 14 times. When interferon and antioxidants (vitamins E and C) are used together in the treatment of children, the toxic effect of IFN on the growing organism is neutralized.
It has antiviral, immunomodulatory and antitumor activity.
Special instructions
Like all interferons, in some individuals, with prolonged use, the drug can cause the appearance of antibodies to interferon, which leads to a decrease in the therapeutic effect.
Use of the drug for viral hepatitis B at a later date is less effective. Not effective for developing hepatic coma and cholestatic course of the disease. In patients with the erythrodermic stage of mycosis fungoides, when the temperature rises above 39 degrees C and in case of exacerbation of the process, the administration of Reaferon-EC should be stopped.
In persons with a high pyrogenic reaction (39 degrees C and above) to the administration of Reaferon-EC, simultaneous use of indomethacin is recommended. In case of storing the solution for topical use, it is necessary, observing the rules of asepsis and antiseptics, to transfer the contents of the ampoule into a sterile vial and store the solution in the refrigerator at 4-10 degrees C for no more than 12 hours. In case of development of leuko- and thrombocytopenia, it is necessary to conduct a blood test 2-3 times a week.
