Act

The drug Ergoferon contains the main active components that suppress the activity of a number of biologically active compounds that are synthesized by cells of the immune system. Due to this, several major therapeutic effects are realized:
    Antiviral effect - the suppression of the activity of viruses of pathogens of various acute respiratory viral infections (acute respiratory viral infections), which include influenza, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial, adenoviral, rhinovirus infection.
    Immunomodulating effect - improving the functional state of the immune system, which primarily concerns the protection of the body against pathogenic (pathogenic) bacteria, viruses, fungi, the simplest unicellular microorganisms. This makes it possible to carry out prevention and complex treatment of various infectious diseases, including some atypical infections (legionellosis, atypical pneumonia).
    Antihistamine action - blockade of H-histamine receptors, as well as the suppression of the activity of histamine, which are responsible for the development of allergic reactions.
    Anti-inflammatory effect - a decrease in the concentration of mediators of the inflammatory reaction of prostaglandins, which are responsible for the development of pain, swelling of tissues, increased blood supply to blood vessels, as well as an increase in body temperature.
Modern research methods do not allow to reliably estimate the speed and completeness of the process of absorption, tissue distribution, metabolism, as well as the elimination of the active components of the drug Ergoferon.
