Antiviral Tools This is a separate group of medicines appointed for the treatment and prevention of a number of diseases caused by the virus. It should not be assumed that all drugs with antiviral activity can help prevent the development of colds.
Each medication has a certain composition and mechanism of action, due to which its effectiveness will be expressed only in specific cases. Therefore, antiviral funds are divided into groups, and the doctor should select them as arapeutic or preventive medicine.
What is needed with antiviral activity medicines
Viruses are the smallest infectious agents penetrating the human body with different ways. Finding inside your "host" viruses begin to be embedded in healthy cells, changing their structure and function. In the cells of the body, viruses quickly multiply, and a significant destruction of the cell leads to its death.
Some viruses, introduced into a cell, can be in an inactive state for a long time, but with a decrease in immunity and under the influence of other provoking factors, pathogenic microorganism begins to develop, causing the appearance of symptoms of the disease.
The mechanism of action of antiviral tools is based on the oppression of the action of the virus inside the human body and on blocking the process of its reproduction.
Thus, medications used as prevention do not give a microorganism that has fallen into the body and the disease is either does not develop, or proceeds with light manifestations.
The means used in the treatment of viral infections reduce the amount of viruses, facilitate the overall well-being of a sick person and accelerate recovery.
Antiviral drugs are divided into:
- Medicines, active against influenza viruses. This group includes remantadine, Amantadine, Zanamivir.
- Medicines fighting herpes viruses. The most popular drugs are acyclovir, penciclovir.
- Funds having an extended range of exposure - ribavirin.
- Preparations from cytomegalovirus infection.
In chronic viral infections, the use of antiviral tools should be prescribed by a doctor. With such infections, it is important to comply with the dosage and the total duration of treatment, if necessary, antiviral therapy courses can be repeated.
The article contains both local drugs (ointments, creams), which are mainly used against herpes and warts, and tablets, injections used for ORVI and different infections. Before buying a drug, please contact the instructions.
List of price increases:
Oxolin (50 r *)
Oxolin ointment as the main active substance contains oxoline.
This substance blocks viruses on the surface of healthy cells membranes and thus warns their penetration inside.
0.25% ointment is used externally for lubricating the nasal strokes and mucous membranes:
- During epidemics to prevent influenza.
- For the treatment of viral rhinitis.
- With stomatitis arising under the influence of herpes.
3% oxolin ointment is used to treat sliding linging, warts, contagious mollusk. Oxoline does not accumulate in the body, completely excreted and does not have a toxic effect.
Application of ointments is allowed even to the infants, in the treatment of rhinitis, the ointment is necessary in the first two four days of acute infection, since the reproduction of bacteria is already being reproduced to which Oxolin does not work.
Acyclovir (100-120 p *)

Acyclovir is produced in the form of tablets, cream and ointment, the drug is introduced and intravenously, the lyophilisate is used for these purposes.
Complete analogues of the drug on the mechanism of action and the main component are drugs such as:
- Virolex;
- Vivorax;
- Cyclovaks;
- Cyclovirl;
- Costaran;
- Provirsan;
- Herpesine;
- Gerrers;
- Acylostad;
The acyclovir is distributed over all tissues and cells of the body. Finding into a healthy cell, the main components of the drug do not change its functioning, are output in its original form. If an acyclovir is converted to a trifosphate that affects the virus in two ways to the infected cell.
The first way is to isolate the virus, which prevents the further spread of microorganism on nerve fibers. The second way of influencing the virus is the embedding of the components of the antiviral medication in the DNA chain, the genome of the infectious agent loses stability and collapses.
The benefits of using acyclovir include:
- Lack of age limitations. As pills, the same and ointment are prescribed for children of any age and adults. Naturally, the dosage of tableted forms is selected according to age.
- The lack of carcinogenic effect, that is, this antiviral agent cannot cause the development of cancer tumors. A number of other antiviral drugs have a fixed carcinogenic effect.
- The possibility of using during pregnancy, since the drug has no detected teratogenic effect.
The main drawbacks of acyclovir:
- The need for reception during the day of several doses of the drug. Increased reception frequency is associated with low drug bioavailability. In order to defeat the virus, continuous circulation of antiviral complexes in the blood is required, when taking acyclovir, it is provided only if the medicine is to drink 5 times a day.
- Nephrotoxic effect of acyclovir ingredients. Damage to the kidney tubules is possible at a high concentration of the drug in the tissues of the organ. That this does not happen when treating acyclovir, should be drunk as much liquid. The medicine is recommended to drink only in daytime hours, that is, when high motor activity contributes to the purification of the organ.
- The effect of addiction. If the acyclovir for the treatment of chronic viral diseases was used repeatedly, then the development of tolerance to it is possible, that is, viruses cease to react to the drug.
The effectiveness of treatment with acyclovir increases if the treatment regimen is observed strictly.

At the first signs of a cold, I give a child to the inflocide tablet. The daughter is small and often refuses to drink any medical preparations. And these, surprisingly, is absorbed without persuasion, says delicious. The inflocide completely restores the body, does not develop diseases and wonderfully fights viruses in children and adults.
As soon as I feel that I try to "strangle" the disease to the root. I go to the pharmacy and buy Inhavirin. Just seven tablets for a week, one per day, and cold retreats.

All information is presented for educational purposes. Do not self-medicate, it's dangerous! Only a doctor can be diagnosed.
Viruses are present in the environment all the time, and their carriers are millions of people throughout the planet.
Most people do not attach a special meaning of the disease caused by viruses, in the hope that immunity will cope. Yes, the immune system of man is able to defeat them, but late when another, more serious infection appears in a weakened organism and complications arise. In addition, lifelong immunity is produced only to a small amount of viruses, the rest, for example, herpes virus, constantly mutate, and the body has to win them again and again.
When choosing medicines, consider the following features:
- release form;
- the presence of contraindications;
- the age of the patient;
- price of medication.
For example, children are more convenient to use drops or candles, and the neutral or pleasant taste of the drug is preferable. Do not forget about the age of the patient - the dosage of the means may depend on it. Antiviral medicines should not be expensive, buy good tablets or syrup without prejudice to the wallet.
Classification
All means to combat viruses can be divided into 3 categories:
- Vaccines - These are special substances that are most often in the form of vaccinations and are used to prevent serious viral diseases. Each vaccine is effective against one particular disease.
- Immunostimulants and immunomodulators. Such drugs strengthen the human immune system by developing interferon. They are not expensive, but effective adults in the winter, when immunity is weakened.
- Antiviral drugs. These medicines have both aimed at a specific disease or a virus, and can have an extensive effect on the body. Work through stimulation of the production of various enzymes.
As for antiviral drugs, these drugs are divided into groups, and 4 of them can be attributed to the most effective in combating colds.
- Antiviral agents containing antihistamines and immunomodulators (Anaferon, Arbidol). Have a chemical impact on the replication of the virus and contribute to the generating of their own interferon.
- Means containing interferon (flu, alfarone). Interferon is a natural protein structure, due to which the cells of the body become immune to viral cells.
- Interferon inductors (Kagole, Lavegox). They activate the processes in the body, which awaken the cells to their own generating interferon.
- Neuraminidase inhibitors (Tamiflu, Releza). Preparations are depressing neuraminidase (specific virus proteins), which stops its further progression.
Application of antiviral drugs
The use of this group of drugs is justified after the laboratory diagnostics and the establishment of an accurate type of virus that caused an infectious disease. To date, several major drugs are used to treat various viral infections:
- Influenza, ARVI - Amizon, Amixin. With severe forms of the disease - Tamiflu (this drug had a pronounced effect with a flu caused by a / h1n1 virus), Rimantadine.
- Herpezzelery infection and lisp - Acyclovir, herpevir.
- Viral hepatitis (B, C) - Amixin, Laferon, Ribavirin. The combination of these drugs is usually used.
- HIV infection - Zidovudine, Lamivudine, Etravirin.
- Cytomegalovirus Infection and Papillomavirus Man (PVCH) - acyclovir, cycloferon.
Antiviral drugs have an effect only for viruses in the replication stage. In case of embedding in the cell of virus DNA or RNA cells, but without the process of forming new particles, the effects of the effect do not provide. For ORVI and influenza, they have an effect only the first 48-72 hours from the onset of the disease (the period of active replication).
During the use of such drugs, it is very important to observe the dosage, the multiplicity of reception and the duration of the course of treatment. There are also antiviral tools for children in the appropriate age dosages.
Mechanism of action
Anti-virus medicines are highlighted from anti-infectious medicines into a separate group. This is done due to the fact that no other antibacterial drugs (including such well-known antibiotics) are not able to have an effective impact on the development of viruses. Such invulnerability of the virus is associated with their small and features of the structure. For comparison, we will try to compare, say, the size of our planet and apple. So, the planet in our example is the average size of the microbe, and the apple is familiar to us - the virus.
Viruses consist of nucleic acids - sources of self-reproduction information and their surrounding capsules. In the body of the "host", under favorable conditions, it is very quickly multiplying, including with the help of "embedding" of their information into the cells of the patient's cell, which themselves begin to reproduce these pathogenic forms. The usual protective forces of human immunity (blood cells) are often powerless before them. The number of pathogeful viruses found more than 500.
The first drug with antiviral properties was obtained in the distant 1946, it was called thiosemicarbazon. As the main component, he was part of the Faringosept, and for many years was used in clinical medicine to combat inflammatory throat diseases. Then opened ideoxuridine applied against herpes virus.
Since the beginning of the 1980s, active work began on the creation of drugs that stimulate the ability of the synthesis of interferon organism. Scientific work continues in our time. Unfortunately, the cost of antiviral drugs is quite high.
10 most effective antiviral drugs
After examining all market proposals, based on the reviews of doctors and patients, we made up a rating of the top 10 -The most effective antiviral drugs for 2019.
Amixin
Amiquin antiviral drug is successfully applied not only for treating influenza and ARVI, but also as a prophylactic agent from these ailments. Doctors recommend taking this medicine to a course in the amount of 6 tablets, but before it uses it is necessary to consult with a specialist.
The effectiveness of amaxine is high, and its cost in pharmacies depends on the dosage of the active substance. The average price of the drug is 500 rubles. The amiquin preparation is well combined with other medicines for the treatment of bacterial and viral infections, including antibiotics. From the digestive organs, side effects are possible in the form of dispersion, as well as specialists note such phenomena as chills and an allergic reaction.
The medicine gives a good effect in the treatment of viral infection, characterized by acute flow.
Kagelin
One of the most sold drugs on the Russian market. Designed in the late 1980s. in Soviet Union. One of the main active ingredients is obtained from cotton and is a copolymer of stateipol. Another component is cellulosoglycolic acid. Combining these components leads to an increase in the separation of interferon immune cells.
It should be noted that the pure stateipol is known as a drug that adversely affects male spermatogenesis. And although the developers argue that this substance in its pure form in the drug contains a negligible amount, this circumstance makes it hardened.
Amizon
The drug refers to the group of inductors of endogenous interferon, after entering the bloodstream, it stimulates the production of the corresponding protective protein. This allows the Amizon indirectly to prevent the spread of influenza viruses and ARVI, and the earlier treatment has begun, the more successful there will be a result. The medicine does not have direct analogues on the pharmaceutical market, it has a minimum frequency of side effects - only about 6%, which is very good in comparison with other antiviral drugs from the interferon inductor group.
The disadvantages of the amizon can be classified as an impossibility of use in childhood, as well as during the period of navigation of the fetus and breastfeeding.

The body "thinks" that the virus got into the blood, and activates the immune response. It increases the products of various lymphocytes and increases the functional reserve of those that "go" directly into the focus of inflammation. Also, the drug is interferonogen, increasing the formation of its own "early" interferons (alpha and beta), as well as gamma interferon.

Candles Viferon is prescribed even to premature babies with congenital infectious diseases and sick pregnant women to minimize the intrauterine infection of the fetus. The drug is produced with a wide range of dosages: from 150,000 meters to 3,000,000 meters.
Only impressive value can be attributed to the conditional shortcomings of the virifer. Unwanted side effects when using these antiviral suppositories are extremely rare and limited to allergic skin rash, which goes after 72 hours after the discharge of the drug.
Tamiflu
This drug was developed in the United States in the late 1980s. It was originally planned to be used when combating the AIDS virus, but then it turned out that the oseltamivir was not dangerous to this virus. However, instead, it was discovered that the drug is active against influenza influenza A and V.
The most effective preparation with severe flu forms due to its ability to suppress the formation of cytokines and prevent inflammation and an excessive immune response as a cytokine storm. To date, this agent is perhaps headed by an efficiency rating among other etiotropic drugs.

Standard duration of the course of treatment - 5 days, dosage 75-150 mg. However, it is worth noting that the drug does not act against the causative agents of ARVI. In addition, overdose of the drug and its uncontrolled use, among other things, and in preventive purposes can lead to very serious health consequences, for example, to mental disorders.
To which doctor to turn
If symptoms of viral infection appear, it is necessary to contact the therapist or pediatrician.
If the disease occurs seriously, the patient is hospitalized into an infectious hospital. Pneumonia caused by viruses is treated with a pulmonologist. With repeated viral infections, you should contact the immunologist.
Modern medicine is constantly improving and developing, however, in spite of scientific and technical achievements in this area, humanity is still forced to fight many dangerous diseases.
For example, people continue to suffer from such ancient infectious diseases as ORVI and flu. These infections take the scale of epidemics, covering workers or training teams, and even entire regions.
Unpleasant symptoms of JORVI and influenza known to almost everyone:
- high temperature and fever;
- sore throat;
- slabs in the joints;
- weakness and apathy.
Fortunately, these infections can not be sick, or to overcome much easy form. The main condition, - to take antiviral drugs of a wide range of action, released in a pharmacy both by prescription and without a doctor's prescription.
The basic principle of action of antiviral drugs is to stimulate their own protective forces of the body.
The immune system, due to drug support, begins to actively produce a specific protein interferon, acting as an effective immune response to the invasion of pathogenic viruses.
It is the interferon that prevents the devastating viral influence on the cells, and, ultimately, destroys the infection.
All numerous antiviral preparations of a wide range of action during ARVI and influenza are classified into two large groups:
- stimulating the production of their own interferon;
- containing interferon obtained in laboratory conditions.
A specific type of means strugging with viral infections competently appoints only the attending physician.
Medicines, according to the mechanism of combating viral diseases, are additionally divided into three categories:
- overwhelming virus itself due to the oppression of its reproduction capabilities;
- in advance, even before infection, causing education in the body of specific antibodies, self-destroying causative agents in cells, is a category of vaccines;
- stimulating the immune system, which due to the active generation of interferon itself destroys the infection.
Each of the specified medicines in its own way copes with recovery of health.
The means used by the diagnosis of "acute respiratory viral infection" are quite a lot, and all of them are divided by:
- the mechanism of therapeutic effects;
- existing contraindications and side manifestations;
- cost and brand.
What medicines will advise the doctor with a common cold or ORVI to the patient?
For example, already having interferon:
- Cycloferon;
- Kipferon;
- Viferon.
Or the classics of antiviral pharmacology that have a powerful, killing effect on the source of the disease itself, tested by time:
- Remantadine;
- Inhavirin;
- Antigrippine.
Of the modern arsenal of medicines, antiviral drugs of a new generation of a wide range of action were well shown well:
- Peramivir;
- Relay.
From funds that force the body to produce their own interferon, the doctor may recommend:
- Tilron;
- Kagole.
In addition, clinically proven effectiveness is available in such drugs as:
- arbidol., destroying, except for viruses of strains a and b, infections of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as herpes;
- kagelin- very effective at the first stage of infection;
- tamiflu - effective only with influenza, and useless with other respiratory infections;
- amixin- destroys almost all known viral pathogens;
- viferon- Soft but effective medicine, allowed to use in pediatrics in the form of suppositories.
It's important to know! In order for the organism affected by viruses, and not harm, except consulting with a doctor regarding a specific medicine, it is necessary to strictly stick to his dosage!
Antiviral preparations of a wide range of action in tablets appointed by the therapist after a comprehensive patient survey are well helped by a sick-cold person.
Medicines in the form of a tablet form that eliminate infections are very convenient, and in the pharmacy network are represented by a wide range of items.
The most popular are such brands like:
- Oseltamivir;
- Ribavirin;
- Amiksin.
For data tablets there are available analogues:
- Remantadine;
- Ergferon;
- Inhavirin.
From tablets immunomodulators, the cost of which does not exceed 250 rubles per package of ten doses, can be recommended:
- Cycloferon;
- Arbidol;
- Kagole.
It's important to know! The price of the drug is not an indicator of its effectiveness! There are many analogues of inexpensive tablets, as powerfully affecting viral infection, like expensive pharmacological brands.
Funds for children
The airlessness of infectious diseases of viral nature is fraught with adverse effects for adults, but it is especially dangerous for minors.
Only a pediatrician is capable of researching a precise diagnosis according to which adequate drug therapy will prescribe.
Only a pediatrician will be able to professionally observe the course of the disease and the effect of drug therapy.
As for adults, the treatment of children requires the strictest dosage compliance.
What is the purpose of kids prescribe medicinal antivirus drugs? Clinical goals, depending on the nature of the disease, several:
- the fight against the virus "for destruction";
- initiation of their own immunity response;
- restoration of the cells destroyed by virus;
- elimination of inflammatory processes.
When a child, especially the baby, has become infected with influenza, parents do not regret money for medicines. But there is no need to dwell on expensive packages! There are enough items in pharmacies cheap, but strong means capable of restore children's health:
- viferon candles, safe for infants;
- French homeopathic tool otilloccinum - will not harm a small patient;
- phytoimmunostimulator immunoflazide, based on medicinal herbs;
- from natural components that do not cause the side effects of Imupret.
It's important to know! For children who have not reached the first year of all-utilized life, it is extremely important to adhere to the chosen pediatrician for the treatment regimen, dose, and be sure to regularly show the child to your doctor to track the clinical dynamics.
The small patient is well suited not to pills, which he is unable to swallow, and drugs in the form of droplets, gently and delicately restoring the organism affected by the virus:
- Kipferon;
- Aflubin;
- Anaferon;
- Infpopheron.
A older patient, between the ages of up to four years, the pediatrician appoints more actively active medicines of various pharmacological forms:
- drops;
- syrups;
- powders;
- pills;
- suppositories.
These can be tools:
- strengthening immunity - Cycloferon;
- increasing the resistance of the body, - Anaferon;
- killing influenza viruses - Arbidol;
- means of homeopathy, - Viborol.
By younger school age, the child's body is already able to independently cope with infections, producing interferon, and an increase in body temperature is evidence. Such children are customary to be appointed with complications, as well as diseases of hepatitis Amixin.
The same, who is older than one year, but younger than seven, the antiviral drugs of a wide range of action for children will help:
- cure a disease caused by strains A and B remedy;
- strengthen your own immunity, - Citovir-3.
Pharmacology does not stand still, and its achievements are new generation products, - the best antiviral drugs of a wide range of action, which act specifically affecting a specific pathogen:
- extended scope of clinical activity;
- anti-coaliviral direction;
- destroying flu strains;
- copling with the causative agent of herpes.
At the same time, all of these means, the coal life of the virion, are classified into two groups:
- destroying virus proteins, and thereby destroying it;
- enhancing the protective functions of the body aimed at the destruction of virions.
What is the modern tool to choose?
The skewers in the pharmacy are recognized:
- Amixin- for a wide range of antivirus effects and a strong immunostimulating effect, both medicine and prophylactic purposes are used;
- Omeltamivir, - for the overwhelming effect on neuraminidase, thereby preventing the spread of strains A and B in cells;
- Inhavirin, - for effective suppression of reproduction of strains at the initial stage with influenza, in the number of paragrippe, respiratory and sycitial and adenoviral infections;
- prolonged action KagoPood, the reception of which is effective at any stage of the development of the disease, for stimulating the production of interferon and an increase in the protective forces of the body.
Viral diseases are seasonal, and are associated with a decrease in ambient temperature. When cooling, the protective forces of the body fall, and it easily becomes the extraction of viral infections.
Then many begin to buy medicines in pharmacies without parsing:
- arbidol;
- kagole;
- teraflu;
- coldrex;
- ferwex and others.
According to some statistical studies, annually citizens of Russia spend at least thirty billion rubles for medicinal antivirus products. At the same time, some of the drugs do not bring any effect, and are only a well-advertised pacifier.
What, not buy medicines at all?
In no case! A big delusion will be attributed to influenza as a simple malaise: this disease can quickly go into a hard form, and even end death.
To avoid such hazardous consequences of cunning disease, and also as soon as possible to recover, it is necessary:
- be sure to seek medical care to the hospital, because only a specialist is able to determine the specific pathogen and choose adequate therapy;
- strictly follow the recommendations of the attending physician;
- it is treated only with high-quality, clinically proven drugs.
The fact is that many medications are good, only their effectiveness applies to a certain type of infection, as well as its development stage.
Most often, causative agents of colds are:
- parmenisovari;
- ortortiksovarus, which include influenza strains A, B and C;
- spherical regovirs;
- a family of thirty seven coronairuses;
- family of Picorn and Rinovirus.
Each of the pathogens has its own characteristic features, based on which the Medic is choosing the right drug course.
Anti-virus medicines for children and adults differ due to the physiological characteristics of the body of different age groups.
Due to this reason, strong antiviral preparations of a wide range of action for minors and persons, over 18 years old, are represented by several names, many of which have a special note "for children":
- Cycloferon;
- Inhavirin;
- Tamiflu;
- Amixin;
- Viferon;
- Ribavirin;
- arbidol;
- Remantadine.
These drugs are prescribed with an established diagnosis of "influenza" or "Orvi", and if there is quickly coming (literally for one hour) acute symptoms in the form of a sudden fever, high temperature, and serious ailment.
It's important to know! Diseases of viral etiology in the earliest stages are easy to confuse with a banal supercooling. Therefore, without having the results of laboratory tests, it is not recommended to immediately resort to antivirus therapy. It is best to start helping the organism of phytogencies.
Medications intended for the fight against pathological viruses are a special group of medicines effective with many viral infections.
At the same time, it will be a mistake to believe that all colds with similar signs have a purely viral origin.
For example, the flu is manifested by increasing the temperature, chills, pain in the throat and muscles and requires antiviral components.
Inexpensive, but high-quality antiviral preparations of a wide range of actions are impressive:
- Inhavirin;
- Orvire;
- Flu;
- Cycloferon;
- Arbidol;
- Tamiflu;
- Relay.
All these names are suitable for patients older than eighteen years.
Some people, having come to the pharmacy, are confused when the pharmacist offers two almost indiscriminate names:
- rimantadine;
- remantadine.
Both very inexpensive, so what is the difference? Practically in anything. Both drugs of clinically tested drugs have a powerful virususpendin component of Rimantadine, helps with influenza, ORVI, both children and older faces.
Wide therapeutic effects at various pathogens of infections have proven itself:
- Arbidol;
- Inhavirin;
- Amiksin.
Thanks to the levomax in the bone marrow and lymph nodes, many antibodies and other important components of a strong immune response are formed.
A distinctive feature of Levomaks is the absence of drowsiness and reduction of the concentration of attention.
It's important to know! Antivirus therapy has contraindications. Especially closely to their acceptance should be taken to pregnant women in the first trimester of the fetus.
What drugs are safer to take in the third semester? For example, such as:
- Valacyclovir;
- Viferon;
- Genferon.
No need to hurry at the first sneezing to grab the packaging with pills against viruses! There are many natural herbs and components supporting health during epidemics - honey, lemon, raspberry.
The correct mode of the day, nutrition and sports will allow as possible to acquire antivirus medicines as possible.
The means that we will consider are called antiviral. Why are they so called? Viruses - Invisible microscopic organisms for the naked eye, capable of damage to human health. To suspend the development of viruses and help the immune system to destroy them, antiviral drugs have been developed by the pharmacists of many countries of the world.
It is difficult to determine the necessary tool. Therefore, when meeting with a viral infection, the doctor's consultation is simply necessary. There is an opinion that only expensive drugs can help, but it is not. Cheap funds also bring the effect, it all depends on the manufacturer's company and the quality of the drug. Also important is the composition.
Medicinal products used to combat viruses have a different principle of operation. Some are used as vaccines, and serve to prevent diseases. With their help, specific antibodies are produced, which with a high degree of probability prevent infection. Even if infection occurred, the disease will flow in a slight form.
Other funds acts directly to the virus, i.e. In cases where the disease has already come. Such drugs inhibit the development of viral infection.
Immunostimulants act on endogenous immunity. Their task is to strengthen the products of their own interferon.
Recently, many combined drugs are proposed, where the antiviral and immunostimulating component is present in the composition.
Knowing the diagnosis and symptoms of the disease, the specialist selects the antiviral agent, given the financial capabilities of the patient.
Most patients in time of ARVI and other viral infections are inclined to do without drugs using the means of traditional medicine. Indeed, a healthy organism that gave a little failure should not be used for medicines. But, if the disease progresses, and the immunodeficiency is objectively determined, help correct the work of the immune system is simply necessary.
Are there effective and inexpensive means from viruses?
Certainly available drugs are. The main thing is the right selection of them, so that it is not later as in the famous saying - "I pay twice twice." Therefore, we hurry for consultation to a specialist.
And now let's go to acquaintance with some antiviral means that have become popular in the treatment of viral infections.
