Pharmacodynamics
The drug has a combined effect. It has an antiviral, antipyretic, detoxifying, analgesic and hepatoprotective effect, as well as a weak anti-inflammatory effect. Detoxopyrole blocks the process of virus inclusion inside the host cell, thereby preventing the release of the virus genome inside it.
