About Polyoxidonium®

Polyoxidonium® has properties1 required at the stage of prevention and in the acute phase of viral infection.

Polyoxidonium pack
immunomodulating

Immunomodulating

Polyoxidonium® can activate cellular immunity and stimulate the production of its own interferons, increasing the body's resistance to viral infections1. The drug can help the body to combat the virus now and boost immunity for the future.

detoxifying

Detoxifying

Polyoxidonium® can absorb toxins and microparticles and remove them from the body1, reducing intoxication and improving the patient's condition from the first days of treatment.

anti-inflammatory

Anti-inflammatory

Polyoxidonium® can regulate the synthesis of inflammatory mediators. Depending on the baseline level, the drug can stimulate or suppress the synthesis of cytokines, regulating the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators1. Due to this property, Polyoxidonium® can alleviate the severity of the diseases2 and reduce clinical manifestations of inflammation3.

against bacterial complications

Against bacterial complications

Polyoxidonium® can activate the antibacterial protective properties of mucous membranes, preventing the occurrence of secondary bacterial infections and complications of viral diseases4.

preventive

Preventive

Polyoxidonium® is able to activate cellular and congenital immunity, which can help prevent infection and sickness during the cold season1.

Action of Polyoxidonium®

Polyoxidonium® can influence many immune response components1

The basis of the immunomodulating action of Polyoxidonium® is a direct effect on phagocytic cells and natural killers, as well as stimulation of antibody formation and synthesis of alpha and gamma interferons. The drug's detoxifying and antioxidant properties are determined by the structure and high-molecular nature of the drug1.
A characteristic feature of topically administered Polyoxidonium® is its ability to activate factors of body's early defense against infection: the drug can stimulate the bactericidal properties of neutrophils, macrophages, enhance their ability to absorb bacteria, increase the bactericidal properties of saliva and the secretion of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract1.
Polyoxidonium® can delicately act upon the body: the drug can regulate the operation of the immune system without hyperstimulating it.

Polyoxidonium® and other immunotropic drugs

Polyoxidonium® is a chemically pure synthetic high-molecular immunomodulator of combined action. It is used for the treatment and prevention of acute diseases and exacerbations of chronic infectious diseases of bacterial, viral or fungal etiology.

vs

Interferons

Interferon drugs bring ready interferon active only against viruses into the body.

vs

Polyoxidonium®

Due to its ability to affect not only the synthesis of alpha and gamma interferons, but also other components of the immune system, Polyoxidonium® can combat not only viruses, but also bacteria and fungi1.

vs

Herbal products

Herbal ingredients of drugs can cause allergic reactions in people with allergic pathologies.

vs

Polyoxidonium®

Polyoxidonium® does not contain herbal ingredients, impurities and foreign DNA, so it can be used even by people with allergic pathologies. Besides, Polyoxidonium® has no significant side effects1.

vs

Bacterial lysates

Bacterial lysates carry an antigenic load.

vs

Polyoxidonium®

Unlike bacterial lysates, Polyoxidonium® does not carry any foreign antigenic load1, therefore the product can be administered even in children with allergies (aged 3 years and older).
