Influence on ability to drive vehicles, mechanisms

During the period of application of the drug to patients experiencing fatigue, drowsiness or disorientation, it is necessary to refrain from engaging in potentially dangerous activities that require an increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.

OVERDOSE

Cases of overdose were not observed.
Given that the active substance is interferon alpha-2b, then overdose may increase the severity of side effects.
