 likopid
 Likopid - immunomodulator is a new generation that is used to restore the immune system. Disorders often develop immunity against the backdrop of long flowing infectious and inflammatory diseases of various organs. The inclusion of an integrated treatment of such diseases licopid reduces the number and severity of relapses.

How does likopid

Active ingredient licopid (glyukozaminilmuramildipeptid - GMDP) is a part of the cell wall of bacteria, which is common to most bacteria. GMDP active effect on the immune system due to the fact that immune cells (macrophages, neutrophils, lymphocytes) have specific receptors sensitive to that substance. By binding to immune cells, increases cell activity likopid cellular and humoral immunity.

This is a drug that has a high efficiency and safety, so it is assigned, both adults and children. It is produced in tablets of 1 and 10 mg. As a result of licopid increases resistance to infectious factors, inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells, stimulates leucopoiesis - synthesis of leukocytes whose primary function - fighting infection.

In some cases, appointed

Likopid indicated for the treatment of chronic low-intensity infectious and inflammatory diseases for which there is a decrease of immunity. Most often it is the disease of the bronchi and lungs - chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary (with impaired patency of the bronchi) disease (COPD), bronchiectasis Bronchiectasis - when the work light under threat  Bronchiectasis - when the work light under threat
 , Chronic pneumonia, tuberculosis Tuberculosis - a full recovery is not guaranteed  Tuberculosis - a full recovery is not guaranteed
   light. In all these diseases, the immune system is very important and if he suffered the disease occurs with frequent exacerbations and constantly progressing.

Likopid used in the treatment of chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases and other organs. It is actively used in the treatment of infections of upper respiratory tract, soft tissues (including infected wounds), urological, gynecological, ophthalmic diseases. Likopid good for the treatment of bacterial infections of the fact that it increases the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs, with the exception of only sulfonamides and tetracyclines.

Good immunity is needed for the fight against chronic viral infections, so likopid used in the treatment of recurrent herpes (including in lesions of herpes infection of the eye), chronic viral hepatitis, cytomegalovirus infection, genital warts, caused by human papillomavirus. In all these diseases likopid part of the complex therapy, enhancing the effect of antiviral drugs and allowing them to reduce the dosage.

Used likopid in pediatric practice. Age limit for use of this drug is not. It can be applied as in the treatment of acute infectious and inflammatory diseases and chronic. Do not use likopid only at high temperature - it can enhance the fever. Likopid can be administered to children who often suffer from colds, intestinal infections, chronic diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and so on.

How to take

Take likopid laying under the tongue or cheek. You can take the whole tablet, but you can grind it and use it as a powder. In acute bacterial or viral infections, acute exacerbations of chronic infections adult prescribe pills licopid to 1 mg once are two times a day for half an hour before meals for 10 days.

For the prevention of chronic recurrence frequently recurrent infections, including tuberculosis, taking 10 mg tablets also once a day for ten days. Children under the age of 16 are appointed by the tablets of 1 mg, individually selecting dose.

Likopid and safe drug overdose cases, it still was not.

When likopid contraindicated, and whether he has a side effect

Likopid contraindicated in his individual intolerance, high temperature (above 38 ° C), autoimmune thyroiditis Autoimmune thyroiditis - thyroid disease  Autoimmune thyroiditis - thyroid disease
   in the acute stage (a disease associated with allergy to thyroid tissue), pregnancy and nursing Breastfeeding - a personal choice  Breastfeeding - a personal choice
   feeding.

Despite the fact that likopid crosses the placental barrier, laboratory tests did not reveal any adverse effect of the drug on the fetus. But during pregnancy, it is not permitted to use due to the fact that clinical studies in this patient population have not been conducted.

Licopid have very few side effects. This allergic reactions that occur infrequently, and a temperature rise at the beginning of treatment, which does not require discontinuation.

Likopid take on prescription.

 polyoxidonium
 Polioksidony - a drug that has immunostimulant (strengthens the immune system), detoxification (removes toxic substances from the body) and antioxidant (destroys free radicals) effect. It is used in many infectious and inflammatory diseases, when the body needs to activate the body's defenses.

 Polioksidony - User: overdose does not happen

The mechanism of action polioksidonija

Polioksidony (active ingredient - azoksimer bromide) produced by domestic pharmaceutical company NPO Petrovax Farm Ltd. in ampoules and vials (powder for solution for injection and topical application) in the vaginal and rectal suppositories, tablets for oral and lingual (under the tongue) tablets.

Polioksidony activates the immune system, cleanses the body of toxic products of different origin and free radicals. It also increases the body's resistance in relation to various infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Polioksidonija mechanism of action is direct stimulation of the cells responsible for cell-mediated immunity (such cells are called phagocytes, they absorb and dissolve inside their cells pathogens), and stimulation of antibody (humoral immunity). Influenced polioksidonija improves immunity, impaired in various diseases (including after surgery), trauma and tumors (including treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy).

In addition, polyoxidonium has a strong detoxifying effect due to the nature of its structure (structure and high molecular nature). It also increases the stability of the cell membrane to the toxic effects of drugs and chemicals, that is, reduces the toxicity of these substances.

Appointment polioksidonija in the complex treatment increases the efficiency and reduces the duration of treatment. Against the background of such treatment may decrease the dose and duration of administration of other drugs (antibiotics, glucocorticoid agents).

The drug does not stimulate the growth of tissue cells (this is important in the treatment of cancer patients), does not have the antigen (foreign to the body) properties, has no negative effects on the fetus (it is confirmed only by laboratory studies, clinical studies in pregnant women were not conducted) and carcinogenic action.

When the pill under the tongue polyoxidonium activates immune cells in the lymph nodes of the bronchi and upper respiratory tract, which increases their resistance to infectious agents.

When administered in tablet form it activates the immune cells of the intestine, producing immunoglobulin A, in charge of the local immunity. The result is increased stability of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, and broncho-pulmonary system to infectious agents. If ingestion polyoxidonium also activates cellular immunity, which contributes to more rapid excretion of the infectious agent.
