Arbidol (Umifenovir) capsules, oral solution

Arbidol is an antivirus immunostimulating drug.

• Relieves disease severeness
• Reduces the duration of illness
• Decreases the risk of complication occurrence by 95%
• As a prophylactic treatment reduces risks to get infected up to 7.5 times

Arbidol is recommended to take on early stages of illness, when the virus activity is high and the organism didn’t activate its defending immune mechanics yet. Production of interferon in the damaged cells is one of those mechanics.

Endogen human produced interferon, likewise the active ingredient of Arbidol, is a derivative of ethyl ether’s carboxylic acid. It prevents agglutination of virus protein on the walls of undamaged cells.

Interferon is produced in bigger quantities as the cold develops on the early stages of illness and the virus infects more cells. Arbidol allows to replenish the interferon deficit in the beginning of sickness and to reduce duration and gravity of acute respiratory infection.

Uses:

• Type A and B flu, acute respiratory infection (ARI), severe acute respiratory syndrome including the one aggravated by bronchitis and pneumonia
• Secondary immunodeficient conditions
• Complex therapy of chronic bronchitis, pneumonia and recurrent herpetic infection
