Story

Ingavirin was developed in the late 70s of the last century in order to create an allergy medication. As a result of a multitude of studies and tests, it was revealed that the innovative medicine has the ability to influence the immune system.

Operating principle

Ingavirin is a group of antiviral drugs.
    Studies have shown the activity of this drug when infected with influenza viruses, including dangerous strains such as H1N1. In addition, the drug affects parainfluenza viruses, adenoviruses and respiratory syncytial viruses, and preclinical experiments have confirmed its effect on enteroviruses, rhinoviruses, metapneumoviruses, coronaviruses and Koksaki viruses.
Intake of Ingavirin kids not only helps to remove these types of pathogens from the body of a sick child, but also reduces the duration of infection and reduces the risk of complications of the disease. The action of vitaglutam is primarily based on the stimulation of affected cells. In particular, this substance stimulates immunity factors that are suppressed by viruses in an infectious disease.
As a result of capsules, the number of receptors for interferon increases, which increases the sensitivity of infected cells to this factor of the immune response. In addition, the drug acts on proteins that give cells signals to activate antiviral genes. And due to the effect of the drug on the movement of ribonucleoproteins inside viral cells, the reproduction of the pathogen slows down.
The level of interferon during treatment with Ingavirin kids rises to normal, because the drug affects the white blood cells and restores their ability to produce immune factors. It is also noted that taking capsules increases the number of white blood cells responsible for the destruction of viral particles, and the anti-inflammatory effect of the drug is associated with the suppression of the production of substances called cytokines.
