Preparations
Immunomax
Immunomax is an immunostimulant. It is a freeze-dried powder for I / m solutions.
Indications of the immunomax
The medicine is shown:
- as a correcting agent in the weakening of immunity;
- when eliminating diseases that are provoked by human papillomavirus (such as warts with condylomas and dysplasias);
- for elimination of infectious processes provoked by mycoplasma, common herpesvirus, ureaplasma, chlamydia or other viruses and microbes.
Pharmacodynamics
Immunomax increases immunity properties with respect to bacterial and viral infectious processes. Immunopharmacological mechanisms of drug exposure are manifested by activation of the following links of immunity:
- NK cells, intensely expressing molecules that activate CD69 (the reaction occurs 2-3 hours after using the drug). The cytolytic activity of these cells triples;
- the isolation of cytokines (IL-8, as well as IL-1β, and with them tumor necrosis factor) by circulating monocytes begins 2-4 hours after the activation of the drug;
- activation of neutrophils occurs with the help of monocytes, the drug does not directly affect the neutrophils. IL-8, which is released by monocytes, activates the activity of neutrophils, which becomes noticeable after 24 hours after using the powder;
- change in the morphology of macrophages located in the tissues, increased production of bactericidal elements, changes in the activity activity of 5'-nucleotidases;
- the formation of antibodies against foreign antigens that have appeared in the body (both corpuscular and soluble).
The drug increases the body's protective function in relation to infectious processes provoked by viruses (human papillomavirus, parvovirus, herpes simplex virus, and in addition Carr's disease, etc.) or bacteria (salmonella, chlamydia, and E. Coli, ureaplasma, staphylococcus, etc.).
Use of the immunomax during pregnancy

Dosing and administration

Before use, the powder must be dissolved in the injection liquid (1 ml). Then it is administered in / m way in the amount of 100-200 units (the exact dose depends on the degree of severity of the pathology). The therapeutic course consists of 6 injections: on the first, second and third days, and then on the eighth, ninth and tenth days.
With the elimination of condyloma, a course of 6-day injection of a drug of 200 ED size is combined with one of the selected additional treatment methods: electrodestruction, cryodestruction, solcoderm or laser destruction.
When eliminating infectious processes provoked by viruses or bacteria, a 6-day course of injections in the amount of 100-200 units is also performed.
When correcting a weak immune system, a course of 3-6 injections in doses of 100-200 units is performed.
