Short description
Antiviral immunostimulating agent. In adults: viral hepatitis A, B, C, herpes and CMV infection, complex therapy: infectious-allergic and viral encephalomyelitis (multiple sclerosis, leukoencephalitis, uveoencephalitis), chlamydial infections of urogenital and respiratory infections; and other ARVI. In children over 7 years old: treatment of influenza and other ARVI.

pharmachologic effect
Antiviral and immunomodulatory drug. Lavomax® stimulates the formation of ?-, ?-, ?-interferons in the body. In response to the introduction of Lavomax, interferon is produced mainly by intestinal epithelial cells, hepatocytes, T-lymphocytes and neutrophils. After taking the drug inside, the maximum production of interferon is determined in the intestine-liver-blood sequence after 4-24 hours. Lavomax® has an immunomodulatory and antiviral effect. Stimulates bone marrow stem cells, increases antibody production depending on the dose, reduces the degree of immunosuppression, restores the T-helper / T-suppressor ratio. Effective against various viral infections, incl. against influenza viruses, other acute respiratory viral infections, hepatitis and herpes viruses, cytomegaloviruses and neurotropic viruses. The mechanism of antiviral action is associated with inhibition of the translation of virus-specific proteins in infected cells, as a result of which the reproduction of viruses is suppressed.

Indications
The drug is used in adults as part of complex therapy: - viral hepatitis A, B and C; - herpes infection; - cytomegalovirus infection; - infectious-allergic and viral encephalomyelitis; - urogenital and respiratory chlamydia; - non-gonococcal urethritis; - pulmonary tuberculosis. Treatment and prevention of influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections.
