Instructions for Cycloferon Pharmacological properties:
Cycloferon (N- (1-deoxy-d-glucitol-1-yl) -N-methylammonium-10-methyl-carboxylate acridone is a salt of acridoneacetic acid and N-methylglucamine, a water-soluble synthetic analogue of the natural alkaloid Citrus grandis.
Cycloferon is a low-molecular-weight synthesis inducer interferon, the main producers of which are macrophages, T- and B-lymphocytes.Induces high titers of interferon in organs and tissues containing lymphoid elements (spleen, liver, lungs), activates bone marrow stem cells, stimulating the formation of granulocytes.
Cycloferon is effective as an immunomodulator in viral diseases, in the complex therapy of acute and chronic bacterial infections.Corrects the immune status of the body in immunodeficiency states of various origins and autoimmune diseases.It is highly effective in rheumatic and systemic diseases of the connective tissue, suppressing autoimmune reactions and providing anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
After parenteral administration, it quickly penetrates cells and induces the synthesis of early interferons. The maximum activity is achieved in 2-4 hours. About 99% of the administered cycloferon is eliminated by the kidneys unchanged within 24 hours. Penetrates the BBB, leading to the formation of interferons in the brain tissues. Does not cumulate with prolonged use.
Recently, in the course of limited clinical studies, the high efficiency of cycloferon has been established for the prevention and treatment of influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections during the epidemic in children and adults, in the treatment of psoriasis, shingles, endometriosis, diffuse fibrocystic mastopathy. Expanded indications and developed schemes for the use of cycloferon in dermatovenerological practice - in the treatment of mycoplasmosis, gardnerellosis, syphilis, candidiasis and other mycoses, trichomoniasis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, etc.
For emergency prevention of influenza during an epidemic and the treatment of its mild and uncomplicated forms, the following scheme was effective: 5 injections of cycloferon in 1; 2; four; 6; 8th days (1-2nd days - 10 mg / kg body weight, 4th day - 8 mg / kg, 6-8th days - 6 mg / kg i / m once a day); for the treatment of severe and complicated forms of influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections - 10 mg / kg for 2 days, then 6 mg / kg IM or IV in 4; 6; 8; ten; thirteen; 16; 19th and 22nd days of treatment.

In case of secondary recurrent and latent early syphilis (the disease is more than 6 months old), a single dose of 0.25 g is used every other day, 10 injections per course of treatment. In the presence of aggravating factors (chronic alcoholism, drug addiction, tuberculosis), it is possible to repeat the course of treatment in 1.5–2 months.
In case of trichomoniasis (the duration of the disease is more than 1 year), 2 courses of treatment with cycloferon are carried out: the first course - 5 intramuscular injections of 2 ml of solution, repeated - 10 injections according to the usual scheme.
In the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, a course of injections of cycloferon (2 ml / m, 8-10 injections) is carried out with a disease duration of more than 6 months.
In acute diarrhea of bacterial etiology in children - at a dose of 6-10 mg / kg in 1; 2; four; 6; 8th day in combination with other therapies. With diarrhea of viral genesis, therapy with cycloferon in combination with probiotics is advisable. In case of intestinal dysbiosis, bacteriocarrier - at a dose of 6 mg / kg in 1; 2; four; 6; 8; ten; thirteen; 16; 19; 22nd days (10 injections) in combination with vitamin therapy, enzyme preparations and probiotics.
It should be noted that the indicated indications and treatment regimens are based on the results of limited clinical trials and are currently not yet approved by the State Pharmacological Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine for widespread use.
