PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Pharmacotherapeutic group:immunomodulating agents..

RECOFERON® GAMMA - recombinant interferon gamma (IFN-y), has a pronounced antiviral efficacy, refers to regulatory immunomodulators. Interferon gamma is a regulatory cytokine which is a producer of natural killer cells, CD4, Th1 cells and cytotoxic CD8 suppressor cells.Interferon gamma receptors belongs to macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Interferon gamma activates the effector functions of these cells, in particular their microbicidal, cytotoxicity, cytokine production, and nitroxide superoxide radicals. Interferon gamma blockes viral DNA replication and RNA synthesis of viral proteins and assembly of mature virus particles. Shows a cytotoxic effect on virus-infected cells.

Antiproliferative effect of interferon gamma is in inhibiting cell growth by inhibiting the synthesis of RNA and proteins, as well as the inhibition of growth factors stimulate cell proliferation.

According to the degree of exposure to the body interferon gamma is "low-hazard substances".

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics: Pharmacokinetics of interferon gamma depends on the method of its application.

When it is introduced intravenously, its maximum serum concentration reached after 15 - 20 minutes, 1.5 - 2 hours found only traces of (4 - 8 IU). In the application of interferon gamma intramuscularly or subcutaneously reaches its maximum concentration after 8 hours. The half-life depends on the characteristics of the body and is in the range 4 - 12 hours.

When intravaginal or rectal interferon is readily absorbed through mucous membranes, flows into surrounding tissues and the lymphatic system. Rectal use of interferon enhances prolonged circulation in the blood..

he blood-brain barrier is a major barrier to the penetration of interferons in the cerebrospinal fluid, including, and brain.

The main route of elimination interferons is renal catabolism Hepatic catabolism and excretion of interferon in the bile is a less pronounced way to the elimination of the animal.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

RECOFERON® GAMMA is used for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases of viral origin of dogs (adenovirus, herpes virus infection, infectious hepatitis, coronavirus and parvovirus enteritis, plague, etc..), cats (panleukopenia, calicivirus and herpesvirus infections, infectious peritonitis, rotavirus enteritis and others. ), rodents and other animals. In addition to viral infections the drug is effective against bacterial infections, chlamydia, mycoplasmosis and mixed infections.

For the treatment of infectious diseases RECOFERON® GAMMA drug is administered intravenously, intramuscularly or intranasally in doses of 10 000 - 20 000 IU / kg (dosage depends on the severity of the animal's condition), with an interval of 24 - 48 hours. The course of treatment is 3 - 14 days depending on the severity of the disease, in combination with antibiotics, immunoglobulins and antisera, in accordance with instructions of their use.

Inclusion drug RECOFERON® GAMMA in complex therapy of infectious diseases causes a significant increase in the blood and tissues of animals organism concentration IFN-y, that blocks replication of viral DNA and RNA synthesis of viral proteins and assembly of mature viral particles in infected cells.

The drug activates effector functions (microbicide, the cytotoxic effect on virus-infected cells, cytokine production, nitroxide and superoxide radicals), macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer kletkok cytotoxic T-lymphocytes having receptors for IFN-y. The drug increases the resistance of normal cells to infection by the virus.

This is accompanied by:

  • quick normalization of blood biochemical parameters;
  • clinical recovery of animals (reduction of recovery terms);
  • favorable course of the disease;
  • normalization of antibody titers;
  • increases the overall resistance of the organism.

There is an opportunity to vaccinate animals.

In viral infections, therapy efficiency increases significantly at complex application RECOFERON® GAMMA with immunomodulators RONKOLEYKIN®. It is recommended to begin treatment of the drug RECOFERON® GAMMA (intravenously, intramuscularly or intranasally twice with an interval of 24 hours), followed by RONKOLEYKIN® (intravenously or subcutaneously, 2 - 5 injections with an interval of 24 - 48 hours), according to the scheme:

  • the first day:RECOFERON® GAMMA i/v or i/m at 10 000 - 20 000 IU / kg;
