• secondary immunodeficiencies.

Cycloferon is combined with other antiviral agents, antibiotics, antimycotics, cytostatics. It potentiates their effect.

In the body, the drug accumulates mainly in the liver, lungs, intestines and spleen. A wide spectrum of action is due to the fact that the drug does not act on individual viruses, but causes the entire immune system to activate.

The half-life of the drug is 4-5 hours. With a properly selected dosage, accumulation in the body does not occur.

After taking the pill,  the active substance accumulates in the blood plasma, and reaches its maximum value after 2-3 hours. After that, the concentration begins to gradually decrease. A day later, only its remains are present in the body.

Therapeutic effect in the treatment of HPV (treatment regimen)

Treatment with Cycloferon is best done at the onset of the disease. When it enters the lymphoid tissues of the body, it increases the level of interferon production. Stem cells are activated and begin to produce T-lymphocytes that destroy viruses. These include helpers and suppressors.

The active part of the drug penetrates into the diseased cell, where it damages fragments of the DNA of the virus. This leads to violations of the replication of the virus, it no longer reproduces and cannot release toxins. Then the destroyed particles are excreted from the body.

The drug prevents the virus from damaging healthy epithelial cells. It induces the production of its own interferon in the body.
