Every year in the autumn-winter period begins midst of viral respiratory diseases. Colds and flu quickly spread, often leading to the present epidemics. For the treatment of these pathologies using a variety of antiviral agents, such as Amiksin.
Flu in humans can completely any age. The disease is especially terrible for the elderly and children. The manufacturer of this product has provided two forms of its tablets. Amiksin 60 mg is used for the treatment and prevention of diseases in juvenile, and adults created Amiksin 125 mg.
Description
Amiksin tablets applies only to the territory of Ukraine and Russia. Originally it was developed for use in emergency situations, where people can not access medical care. Since during various disasters person is not able to figure out on their own, which virus was in his body, the drug acts against a broad spectrum of pathogens.
Although the army has always had access to vaccines against influenza, hepatitis A, herpes and other diseases, side effects could make a fighter incapable. As a result, in the mid-seventies, the General Intelligence Department has ordered the creation of a universal antiviral drug, which action would not lead to serious negative consequences.
And there was Amiksin, antiviral and immunomodulatory agent. He is an inducer of endogenous interferon, which allows him to suppress the development of viral cells in the human body. Unlike vaccines, medicine does not deliver ready-cell immunity, but it causes the body to produce its own.
Release form and composition
The drug is manufactured as a biconvex form tablets, which are painted in yellow color, although it permitted and yellow color. Kernel sectional inhomogeneous, bright orange hue. Each tablet has a volume of either 60, or 125 mg. The capsules are packaged for polymer bottles, each of which is six, ten or twenty pieces.
Adult Amiksin 125 mg of the composition and effects of the principle does not differ from the version for children. In both cases the active substance acts tilorona. It is located inside the capsule, yellow shell protects the component from degradation by gastric hydrochloric acid. it disappears, Only when the drug gets to the intestine.
Supporting elements are:
- Vazelinovoe oil;
- calcium stearate;
- Gelatin;
- Basic magnesium carbonate;
- About tropeolin;
- aeroforces;
- Sugar;
- Beeswax;
- Titanium dioxide;
- Talc.
Once in the intestine, tilorona causes the epithelium to produce large amounts of interferon. This process further substances such as neutrophils contribute, hepatocytes, granulocytes and T-lymphocytes. If the body has already got ready interferon, this could lead to side effects such as cardiac arrhythmias, but this form to minimize the possible negative consequences.
pharmachologic effect
More than half of the active ingredient penetrates the blood, where production of the three types of interferon beginning to happen. The drug remains in the plasma during the day from the date of entering into the intestine. Because of this need to take pills rather rare. Usually between each reception held at least one day.
Interferon synthesis begins four hours after reaching the desired concentration. As a result of the drug significantly reduces the recovery period, and also decreases the risk of complications. Besides, tirolin strengthens immunity thanks:
- Effects on bone marrow stem cells. As a result of the increased content of immune cells in the plasma;
- Stimulating the synthesis of antibodies by plasma cells and B-lymphocytes;
- Normalize the number of T and B lymphocytes.
The active component is distributed freely by the human body, easily penetrates through the placenta or, eg, blood-brain barrier. He is able to get in to and including breast milk. While in a human body component does not pass biotransformation, its structure remains virtually unchanged.
Tirolin has high connection with blood proteins, they are about 80%. Bioavailability is at 60%. Most of the drug leaves the body almost unchanged with the faeces, and about 7% It comes out in the urine. Typically, the half-life is completed in two days.

In Europe, action Amiksina studied only in terms of its impact on the formation of tumors and urethritis. On the territory of the Russian-speaking countries was dealt with and the other effects of medications, but studies were not placebo control. So often, speaking about the safety of this drug, many add the phrase "in the words of advertising".
