Pharmacological action
Interferon alfa-2b human recombinant has antiviral, immunomodulating, antiproliferative properties, inhibits the replication of RNA and DNA viruses. The immunomodulating properties of interferon alpha-2b, such as increased macrophage phagocytic activity, increased specific cytotoxicity of lymphocytes to target cells, determine its mediated antibacterial activity.
In the presence of ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol acetate, the specific antiviral activity of interferon alpha-2b increases, its immunomodulatory effect is enhanced, which improves the efficiency of the body’s own immune response to pathogenic microorganisms. When using the drug, the level of secretory immunoglobulins of class A increases, the level of immunoglobulin E is normalized, the functioning of the endogenous system of interferon alpha-2b is restored. Ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol acetate, being highly active antioxidants, have anti-inflammatory, membrane-stabilizing, and also regenerating properties. It has been established that when using the VIFERON ® preparation, there are no side effects arising from the parenteral administration of interferon alpha-2b preparations, antibodies are not formed that neutralize the antiviral activity of interferon alpha-2b. The use of VIFERON ® as part of complex therapy allows to reduce therapeutic doses of antibacterial and hormonal drugs, as well as reduce the toxic effects of this therapy.
