Prevention and treatment of acute respiratory viral infections (including influenza).
Complex therapy of infections caused by herpes viruses (infectious mononucleosis
chickenpox
labial herpes
genital herpes
Complex therapy and prevention of recurrence of chronic herpesvirus infection

parainfluenza, herpes simplex viruses of types 1 and 2 (labial herpes, genital herpes), other herpes viruses (chickenpox, infectious mononucleosis), enteroviruses, tick-borne virus encephalitis, rotavirus, coronavirus, calicivirus,
adenovirus, respiratory syncytial (PC virus). The drug reduces the concentration of the virus in the affected tissues, influences the system of endogenous interferons and associated cytokines, induces the formation of endogenous "early"
interferons and interferon gamma (IFN-y).
Stimulates the humoral and cellular immune response. Increases the production of antibodies (including secretory IgA), activates the functions of T-effectors, T-helpers normalizes their ratio. Increases the functional reserve of Th and other cells involved in the immune response. It is an inducer of a mixed Txl and Th2-type immune response: it increases the production of cytokines Txl (IFNy, IL-2) and Th2 (IL-4, 10),
normalizes (modulates) the balance of Th1 / Th2 activities. Increases the functional activity of phagocytes and natural killer cells (EK cells). Possesses antimutagenic properties
