Interferon increases its activity in the presence of antioxidants (vitamin E, benzoic and citric acid), which increases the body's own immune response to the pathogens of infection. Viferon exhibits a pronounced local immunomodulatory effect, increases locally formed antibodies that do not allow pathogens to be fixed and propagated on the mucous membranes.
