There are many medicines intended for the treatment of ARVI, influenza in pharmacies. What drug to buy in order to quickly recover or prevent the development of infection?
When choosing drugs, and especially - to get rid of Influenza or Colds, It should be paid attention not only to therapeutic properties, but also to consider how drugs affect other organs. Unfortunately, many drugs that are actively advertised and intended to combat influenza and other viral infections are also affected by the liver, have a number of undesirable effects. And yet there are medicines that do not require liver intervention. Such gentle means refers cycloferon. This is an interferon inductor, produced in tablets, liniment and ampoules. The cycloferon does not load the body, having its own medical action, it is already in a day excreted by the kidneys. Our site offers a detailed story about this tool - its mechanism of action, indications for use, methods and receiving schemes.
Recognize influenza
A typical influenza infection begins with a sense of alert, weakness and temperature lifting. The thermometer column stops at a mark from 38 ° C to 40 ° C. There are symptoms of intoxication of viruses of viruses: chills, headache, lubrication in muscles. In the nose first appears a feeling of dryness of the mucous membrane, ticking, smokery. In the throat of Sadnit, tricks, there is a dry cough, in which there is pain behind the sternum. And if you immediately take action, the symptoms will disappear after 5 days of illness or even earlier. But if a person continues to go to work, engage in affairs, attend children's institutions, then bacterial infections are also joined, accompanied by discharge from the nose, a strong cough when the sputum is difficult to leave the respiratory tract. Weak people, children and elderly, complications often arise.
A variety of antiviral equipment
Pharmacologists have currently developed a lot of antiviral funds. Many of them are advertised on radio and television. But some of these drugs are effective only in the early stages of infection. Some medications, if they often receive them, are addictive, cease to act, show side effects. You can use interferon preparations for treatment. But there are cases that the introduction of finished interferon leads to the fact that the body ceases to independently produce its interferon. But there is another group of medicines called interferon inductors. The principle of their work is significantly different from the above preparations. Such means stimulate, «Slept» own immunity of man, that is, the ability to destroy foreign agents who have fallen into the body. Then immunity reacts to any viruses that have fallen into the body, destroys them. Interferon inductor representative is cycloferon.

The mechanism of action of the drug
Inside our body, there is a mechanism that should be protected from alien agents, called immunity. When the virus is introduced into the body, the immune system mobilizes and begins to produce interferons - special substances in the task of which includes a fight against viral cells. But here is the response time and immunity response for each person. Therefore, it often happens that the immune system does not have time to take action on time, therefore illness is developing. To reduce the time of the disease, to prevent the appearance of complications, it is important to have an emergency preventive work in the first moments of ailment.

As soon as cycloferon falls into the body, then the cells of the immune system (macrophages, T- and B-lymphocytes are starting to actively produce interferon in the spleen, lungs, liver, slim intestinal mucosa. Cycloferon gently resembles killeram cells that it is time for them to engage in their «work» and save the body from viruses.
There are anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties in cycloferon. It suppresses the reproduction of viral cells in the early stages in the first five days of illness.
