Pharmacological (biological) properties and effects

Antiviral drug with immunomodulatory properties.

Dinatriye salt of polyprenol phosphate, which is part of the drug, activates natural resistance systems (bactericidal activity of blood serum and phagocytosis), enhances humoral immune response to vaccines, thus increasing resistance of body to infections, reduces morbidity. Dinatrium salt of polyprenol phosphate activates metabolic processes in cells and, accordingly, increases the weight gain at reduced feed consumption.

Fosprenil has antiviral activity against Paramyxoviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, Togaviridae, Herpesviridae, Coronaviridae and some other viruses.

After parenteral administration, the diatrium salt of polyprenol phosphate enters into animal bloodstream, accumulates mainly in the tissues of liver, spleen and reproductive organs, reaching maximum concentration in 0.5-3 hours and remaining at therapeutic level for 10-16 hours. It is excreted mainly with feces and urine.

By degree of action on organism Fospril belongs to low-hazardous substances (4 class of hazard according to GOST 12.1.007-76), in recommended doses it does not have local irritating, allergizing, embryotoxic, teratogenic and carcinogenic action.

Indications for administration of FOSPRENIL

Fosprenil treatment should be started as early as possible from the onset of clinical signs of disease. Therapy is most effective in prodromal period.

In viral infections it is necessary to combine Fosprenil with means of symptomatic and pathogenetic therapy, especially in severe and complicated forms of infections. With severe course of the disease the therapeutic dose of Fosprenil is recommended to be doubled. Treatment shall be discontinued after 2-3 days after disappearance of main disease symptoms. If necessary, repeated courses of treatment may be prescribed.
