In the season of colds and infections, of course, any parent wants to protect his child from disease. It happens that a healthy regime, walks and taking vitamins for this is not enough, and in the cold season the child at least once, but gets sick. Fortunately, there are means to effectively stimulate the immunity of the child and prevent the disease or, if it is not possible to protect yourself, to speed up the recovery. One such remedy is the preparation amixin.
Amiksin (amixin ic) is an antiviral immunostimulating agent, an interferon inducer of alpha, beta and gamma types. An increase in the level of interferons is observed 4 hours after the first administration of the drug, and the maximum production of interferons is noted in the first 24 hours of treatment. The active substance - tilorone (tilaxine) - a synthetic low-molecular compound, stimulates humoral immunity and has anti-inflammatory properties.
As possible side effects in the instructions for amixin, allergies, chills, dyspepsia are indicated.
Amiksin - indications for use
Amiksin is used in adults for the prevention and treatment of influenza, other acute respiratory viral infections, treatment of viral hepatitis A, B and C. Amixin is effective in the treatment of herpetic and cytomegalovirus infections, encephalomyelitis of infectious-allergic and viral nature, chlamydia, pulmonary tuberculosis.
Amiksin or amixin ic for children older than 7 years can be prescribed for the treatment of influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections.
Often in the case of treatment of viral diseases, immunomodulating agents are effective only when taken during the first hours of the disease, and when delayed treatment is rendered useless. Unlike many other inducers of interferon and immunostimulating drugs, amixine has no limitations on the timing of the appointment, that is, it can be used both from the first hours of the disease (which, of course, enhances its effectiveness), and at belated treatment.
Amiksin is compatible with antibiotics, other antiviral drugs and preparations of symptomatic treatment of infectious diseases.
How to take Amixin?
Amiksin is available in the form of 60 mg tablets (for children) and 125 mg (adult). Amiksin is taken orally after eating. The dosage of amixin is selected depending on the age and purpose of the drug (prevention or treatment, type of disease).
Amixin is gaining popularity as a prophylactic drug for adults, thanks to the convenience of use: for the prevention of influenza and other ARI should take only 1 tablet (125 g) per week for 6 weeks.
The scheme of taking amixin for the treatment of hepatitis and other serious infectious diseases is best coordinated with a doctor. Here we describe only how to take amyxin for colds, flu and other ARVI. Adults with a beginning illness should take one tablet (125 g) in the first two days. Then one tablet every other day (on the 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th days of treatment).
According to the instructions for the use of amixin, children over 7 years of age with uncomplicated influenza or other SARS are prescribed 60 mg per day for the 1st, 2nd and 4th days of the disease (a total of 3 tablets are taken as a course of treatment). To treat complications of the flu or ARVI, you need to take 4 tablets: on the 1 st, 2 nd, 4 th and 6 th days from the start of treatment.
Assign amixin to children and for the prevention of influenza and ARVI. Preventive course for a child is 60 mg once a week in
How often can I take amixin?
Unfortunately, as a rule, the season of epidemics lasts more than 6 weeks (the duration of the preventive course of amixin). Therefore, wishing to not get sick at this difficult time, a natural question arises: how often can I take amyxin?
Unfortunately, nowhere is there information about how much time should pass between the courses of taking amyxin. But for prevention experts consider it permissible to use amixin from 1 to 3 times a year.
Analogues of amixin are preparations of lavomax and tyloron.
