A lot of people are ill with influenza and ARVI.During the off-season, some people spend a lot of time looking for an effective and inexpensive remedy for the virus. Many believe in advertising, which promises an instant relief from the symptoms of the flu. But in fact, often such medications are ineffective. For several years, as on the shelves of pharmacies appeared medicine "Ingavirin." Analogues of it are also available: Arbidol, Kagotsel, Anaferon and other antiviral drugs.
Sense of drugs against influenza
Many consider them ineffective, because,for example, the drug "Teraflu" removes symptoms faster, but these drugs have a completely different effect. Against influenza, two groups of drugs are used: antiviral and symptomatic. Those who relieve sore throat, lower the temperature and clean the runny nose, do not actually cure the disease, because the virus remains and can cause severe complications.
Therefore, in ARVI it is necessary to applyantiviral drugs. Most of them developed by Russian scientists and abroad are almost unknown. Therefore, they are considered ineffective, although many people successfully treat them for influenza. They not only destroy the virus itself, but also prevent the development of complications. The patient feels better after a day. Naturally, the symptoms go along with the disappearance of the virus.
The drug "Ingavirin"
Analogues of this drug are known for severaldecades, but it immediately gained popularity among Russian doctors and patients. Just one tablet can reduce the symptoms of the flu in a few hours, and take it once a day. A person feels healthy already after 3-4 days, especially if he started treatment immediately, with the appearance of the first symptoms. The active substance of the drug is able not only to destroy the virus, but also to stimulate the formation of interferon in the blood plasma, which increases the body's ability to fight the disease.
It does not accumulate in tissues and cells, very muchrarely causes allergic reactions and has almost no contraindications. But despite such positive properties of the drug, often people choose instead of him other drugs - those that are cheaper. What can replace "Ingavirin"?
Analogs of this drug
For the treatment of the same diseasedifferent drugs are used. Their composition may be different, but they have the same effect. Such drugs are called analogues. Often they have different prices. Similarly, the drug "Ingavirin": analogues are cheaper than it exist, but you need to look not only for the price of packaging. Pay attention to the dosage, the methods of taking and the time required for treatment. For example, many people buy Arbidol if they are not satisfied with Ingavirin (price). This analogue acts the same way, but only if it is used in a large dosage: 2 tablets 3 times a day. Therefore, the course will require 3-4 packs. It turns out that "Ingavirin" for the treatment of influenza is cheaper. Its price depends on the dosage. On average, 7 capsules of 90 mg will cost from 400 rubles.
The same can be said about the drug "Kagotsel",which has such an effect. It is cheaper, but it needs to purchase two packages, which is less profitable. Therefore, the new drug - "Ingavirin" - has gained popularity. Analogues of it are also effective, but it as a result leaves more cheaply and more safely, because for cure it is necessary to take only 5 tablets.
