diseases with severe symptoms - apply for 90 days with a break of 30 days.
If necessary, the course of treatment should be repeated under the supervision of a physician, while constant monitoring of the patient's condition and the course of the disease should be carried out in order to continue therapy.
For infections caused by the human papillomavirus (external genital warts (genital warts) or papillomavirus infection of the cervical canal), take 3 g (2 tablets 3 times a day) for 14-28 days as monotherapy or as an addition to local therapy or surgical treatment according to the following schemes:
a) for the treatment of low-risk patients (patients with normal immunity or patients with a low risk of relapse), the preparation is used for 14-28 days until the maximum eradication of the virus is achieved, then a break should be taken for 2 months. The course of treatment can be repeated using the same dose, while constant monitoring of the patient's condition and the course of the disease is required to prolong therapy;
b) for the treatment of high-risk patients * (patients with immunodeficiency or with a high risk of relapse), the preparation is used 5 days a week, consecutively 1-2 weeks a month for 3 months. If necessary, the course of treatment should be repeated, while constant monitoring of the patient's condition and the course of the disease is required to prolong therapy.
* High risk factors in patients with recurrent or cervical dysplasia or genital papillomavirus infection, as in other similar diseases, include:
In subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, the daily dose is 100 mg / kg of body weight, the maximum dose is 3-4 g / day, while constant monitoring of the patient's condition and indications for prolongation of therapy is required.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or any component of the preparation, exacerbation of gout, hyperuricemia.
Side effects
The only side effect that most often occurs during treatment with isoprinosine in both adults and children is a temporary increase in the level of uric acid in the blood plasma and urine (usually the level is within normal limits and returns to baseline values a few days after the end of treatment).
From the immune system: angioedema, hypersensitivity, urticaria, anaphylactic reactions.
Mental disorders: nervousness.
From the nervous system: headache, vertigo, drowsiness, insomnia, dizziness.
From the gastrointestinal tract: nausea, vomiting, discomfort in the epigastric region, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain (in the upper abdomen).
On the part of the skin and subcutaneous tissue: rash, itching, erythema.
On the part of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue: arthralgia.
On the part of the kidneys and urinary system: polyuria.
General disorders and conditions: fatigue, malaise.
Laboratory data: increased levels of uric acid in the blood and urine; an increase in the level of urea, transaminases, alkaline phosphatase in the blood.
special instructions
During treatment with isoprinosine, a temporary increase in the level of uric acid in blood plasma and urine is possible, especially in men and the elderly, however, these indicators usually remain within the normal range (up to 8 mg / ml in blood plasma).
The reason for the increase in uric acid levels is the catabolic metabolism of inosine in humans. This is not due to a preparation-induced fundamental change in enzyme function or renal clearance function. Therefore, the preparation should be used with extreme caution in patients with gout, hyperuricemia, urolithiasis and reduced renal function. During treatment, it is necessary to monitor the level of uric acid in these patients. Some patients may experience acute hypersensitivity reactions (angioedema, anaphylactic shock, urticaria). In this case, Isoprinosine therapy should be discontinued.
With prolonged use of the preparation, there is a risk of developing nephrolithiasis.
Isoprinosine contains wheat starch, which may contain gluten, but in extremely small quantities, so the preparation is considered safe for people with celiac disease (celiac disease). Wheat allergy patients (as opposed to celiac disease) should not take this preparation.
Isoprinosine contains mannitol, which can have a laxative effect.
Use during pregnancy and lactation. The study of the possible risk of fetal pathologies and impaired fertility in humans has not been conducted. It is not known whether inosine pranobex passes into breast milk. It is not recommended to use the preparation during pregnancy and lactation.
Children. The preparation is used in children aged 1 year and older.
The ability to influence the reaction rate when driving or operating other mechanisms. The effect of the preparation on the reaction rate when driving vehicles or working with other mechanisms has not been studied. However, patients should be aware that the preparation may cause dizziness or other adverse reactions from the nervous system.
Interactions
The preparation should not be used concomitantly with immunosuppressants. with caution, the preparation is prescribed with xanthine oxidase inhibitors or agents that promote the excretion of uric acid, including diuretics, in particular with thiazide diuretics (such as hydrochlorothiazide, chlorthalidone, indapamide) or loop diuretics (for example, with furosemide, torasemide, ethacrynic acid).
With simultaneous use with zidovudine (azidothymidine), the formation of zidovudine nucleotide is increased by many mechanisms, in particular due to an increase in the bioavailability of azidothymidine in blood plasma and intracellular phosphorylation in human blood monocytes. The result is an increase in the action of zidovudine.
Overdose
Overdose cases have not been identified. serious adverse events other than elevated plasma uric acid levels are unlikely to occur, given toxicity studies in animals. symptomatic treatment.
Storage conditions
In its original packaging at a temperature not exceeding 25 ° c.
