INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2015.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

The drug has an immunomodulatory and antiviral effect.
Interferon alfa-2b human recombinant, which is an active substance in the preparation, is synthesized by bacterial cells of the strain of Escherichia coli SG-20050 / plF16, the human interferon alpha-2b gene is embedded in the genetic apparatus. It is a protein containing 165 amino acids, and is identical in characteristics and properties to human leukocyte interferon alpha-2b.
The antiviral effect of interferon alfa-2b is manifested during the reproduction of the virus by active incorporation into the metabolic processes of the cells.
Interferon, interacting with specific receptors on the surface of cells, initiates a number of intracellular changes, including the synthesis of specific cytokines and enzymes (2-5-adenylate synthetase and protein kinase), the action of which inhibits the formation of viral protein and viral ribonucleic acid in the cell .
The immunomodulatory effect of interferon alfa-2b is manifested in an increase in phagocytic activity of macrophages, enhancement of the specific cytotoxic effect of lymphocytes on target cells, changes in the quantitative and qualitative composition of secreted cytokines;
changes in the functional activity of immunocompetent cells; changes in the production and secretion of intracellular proteins.
