INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2010.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

The drug has an immunoregulatory, detoxicating, hepatoprotective effect and causes inactivation of free radical and peroxide compounds.
Pharmacological action is based on the achievement of 3 main effects: correction of the immune system, restoration of the balance of the oxidative-antioxidant reaction of the organism and inhibition of multiple drug resistance mediated by proteins of the transmembrane transport pump of the cell.
The drug begins to develop within 2-3 hours (fast phase) and lasts up to 4 months (medium and slow phases).

During the fast phase (duration - up to 2-3 days), first of all, a detoxification effect is manifested - the antioxidant defense of the body is enhanced by stimulating the production of ceruloplasmin, lactoferrin, catalase activity;
the drug normalizes lipid peroxidation, inhibits the disintegration of cell membrane phospholipids, and the synthesis of arachidonic acid, followed by a decrease in blood cholesterol and the production of inflammatory mediators. With toxic and infectious liver damage, the drug prevents cytolysis, reduces the activity of transaminases and the level of bilirubin in the blood serum.
During the middle phase (beginning 2-3 days, duration - up to 7-10 days), there is an intensification of the reactions of phagocytosis and death of intracellular bacteria and viruses.

During the slow phase (starts to develop for 7-10 days, duration of up to 4 months), the immunoregulatory effect of the drug manifests itself - restoration of the disturbed parameters of cellular and humoral immunity.
During this period, the restoration of the immunoregulatory index is observed, an increase in the production of specific antibodies is noted. The effect of the drug on the production of specific antiviral and antibacterial antibodies is equivalent to the action of therapeutic vaccines. Unlike the latter, the drug does not significantly affect the production of reactive IgE antibodies and does not enhance the immediate-type hypersensitivity reaction. Imunofan stimulates the formation of IgA in its congenital insufficiency.
Imunofan effectively suppresses the multiple drug resistance of tumor cells and increases their sensitivity to the action of chemotherapeutic drugs.
