Arbidol – a drug with immunomodulating and antiviral effects. Induces interferon synthesis, stimulates humoral and cellular immunity, macrophage phagocytic activity.
Specifically inhibits influenza A and B viruses. The mechanism of antiviral action is associated with the ability of the drug to suppress the fusion of the lipid membrane of the virus with cell membranes upon contact of the virus with the cell.
