    Pharmacodynamics:

    The drug induces the synthesis of endogenous interferons, especially interferon alpha, activates T-cellular immunity, macrophages, bone marrow stem cells. The drug promotes the formation of antiviral immunity.

    Has antiviral activity against DNA and RNA genomic viruses. Has a pronounced anti-chlamydial effect

    It shows immunomodulating activity, normalizing the balance between subpopulations of T-helper and T-suppressor cells. In a number of diseases, the drug is able to reduce the production of tumor necrosis factor (HIV infection, herpes) in the body and activate natural killer cells (for tumor diseases). Significantly increases the activity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

    In HIV infection, the drug has an immunomodulating effect: it increases the absorption activity of blood serum, increases the ability of leukocytes to synthesize interferon alfa, stimulates the formation of reactive oxygen species by phagocytes.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    Peak activity of interferons in the blood and tissues is observed a few hours after the administration of the drug and persists for 16-20 hours.

    With intramuscular injection, bioavailability is more than 90%.After the administration of the drug in a dose of 100-500 mg, the maximum concentration in the blood plasma is reached after 15-30 minutes and is 8.3 μg / ml. After 5 hours, only insignificant concentrations of the active substance are detected, and after 6 hours the drug is not detected in the blood plasma.

    After 15-30 minutes after the administration, serum interferon titers begin to increase in the plasma. Two peaks of interferon content in plasma were detected: 70 IU / ml after 1.5-2 h and 110 IU / ml after 8-10 h, after which their decrease begins. After 24 hours, the concentration of serum interferons remains high enough, and returns to the initial values ​​after 46-48 hours.

    The drug is not metabolized, the half-life is 1 hour. Excreted by the kidneys in unchanged form.
