Pharmacological action

The main producing cells of interferon after Cycloferon administration are macrophages, T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, fibroblasts, epithelial cells. Depending on the type of infection, one or another link in the immune system is activated. The drug induces high titers of interferon in organs and tissues containing lymphoid elements (spleen, liver, lungs), activates bone marrow stem cells, stimulating the formation of granulocytes. Cycloferon activates T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells, normalizes the balance between subpopulations of T-helpers and T-suppressors. Overcomes the blood-brain barrier.
Cycloferon is effective against tick-borne encephalitis, influenza, hepatitis, herpes, cytomegalovirus, human immunodeficiency virus, papilloma virus and other viruses.
The drug has been found to be highly effective in the complex treatment of acute and chronic bacterial infections (chlamydia, erysipelas, bronchitis, pneumonia, postoperative complications, bacterial and fungal infections of the genitourinary tract, peptic ulcer) as a component of immunotherapy.
Cycloferon is highly effective in rheumatic and systemic diseases of the connective tissue, suppressing autoimmune reactions and providing anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
The immunomodulatory effect of cycloferon is expressed in the activation of phagocytosis, natural killer cells, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and correction of the body’s immune status in immunodeficiency and autoimmune conditions of various origins.
