Pharmacological properties
The drug has an immunoregulatory, detoxifying, hepatoprotective effect and causes inactivation of free radical and peroxide compounds. The pharmacological action is based on the achievement of three main effects: correction of the immune system, restoration of the balance of the oxidative-antioxidant reaction of the body and inhibition of multidrug resistance mediated by proteins of the transmembrane transport pump of the cell.
The effect of the drug begins to develop within 2 to 3 hours (fast phase) and lasts up to 4 months (medium and slow phases).
During the fast phase (duration - up to 2-3 days), the detoxification effect is manifested first of all - the antioxidant defense of the body is enhanced by stimulating the production of ceruloplasmin, lactoferrin, catalase activity; the drug normalizes lipid peroxidation, inhibits the breakdown of cell membrane phospholipids and the synthesis of arachidonic acid, followed by a decrease in blood cholesterol levels and the production of inflammatory mediators. In case of 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 (starts after 2-3 days, duration - up to 7-10 days), there is an increase in the reactions of phagocytosis and death of intracellular bacteria and viruses. During the slow phase (it begins to develop on days 7-10, duration up to 4 months), the immunoregulatory effect of Imunofan is manifested - the restoration of disturbed parameters of cellular and humoral immunity. During this period, there is a normalization of the immuno-regulatory index, an increase in the production of specific antibodies is noted. The effect of Imunofan on the production of specific antiviral and antibacterial antibodies is equivalent to the effect of some therapeutic vaccines. Unlike the latter, the drug does not significantly affect the production of reaginic antibodies of the IgE class and does not enhance the immediate hypersensitivity reaction;Imunofan stimulates the formation of IgA in congenital insufficiency.
Imunofan effectively suppresses multidrug resistance of tumor cells and increases their sensitivity to the action of cytostatic drugs.
Side effects.
Individual intolerance is possible.
Interaction with other medicinal products.
In clinical practice, there have been no cases of interaction of Imunofan with other drugs.
The action of Imunofan does not depend on the production of PGE2 and the administration of the drug is possible in combination with anti-inflammatory (steroid and non-steroidal) drugs.
