Pharmacological group: Antiviral agent.
Pharmacodynamics: Antiviral agent. Specifically suppresses in vitro influenza viruses A and B (Influenzavirus A, B), including highly pathogenic subtypes A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H5N1), as well as other viruses that cause acute respiratory viral infections (coronavirus associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome ( SARS), rhinovirus (Rhinovirus), adenovirus (Adenovirus), respiratory syncytial virus (Pneumovirus) and parainfluenza virus (Paramyxovirus). According to the mechanism of antiviral action, it belongs to fusion inhibitors, interacts with the hemagglutinin of the virus and prevents the fusion of the lipid membrane of the virus and cell membranes. It has interferon-inducing activity - in a study on mice, the induction of interferons was noted after 16 hours, and high titers of interferons remained in the blood up to 48 hours after administration. Stimulates cellular and humoral immune responses: increases the number of lymphocytes in the blood, especially T-cells (CD3), increases the number of T-helpers (CD4) without affecting the level of T-suppressors (CD8), normalizes the immunoregulatory index, stimulates the phagocytic function of macrophages and increases the number of natural killer (NK) cells.
Therapeutic effectiveness for viral infections is manifested in a decrease in the duration and severity of the disease and its main symptoms, as well as in a decrease in the incidence of complications associated with viral infection and exacerbations of chronic bacterial diseases.

Therapeutic effectiveness for viral infections is manifested in a decrease in the duration and severity of the disease and its main symptoms, as well as in a decrease in the incidence of complications associated with viral infection and exacerbations of chronic bacterial diseases.

Therapy with Arbidol® leads to a higher frequency of relief of symptoms of the disease on the third day of therapy compared to placebo - 60 hours after the start of therapy, the resolution of all symptoms of laboratory-confirmed influenza is more than 5 times higher than the same indicator in the placebo group.
A significant effect of the drug Arbidol® on the rate of elimination of the influenza virus was established, which, in particular, was manifested by a decrease in the frequency of detection of viral RNA on the 4th day. Refers to low-toxic drugs (LD50 > 4 g/kg). Does not have any negative effects on the human body when administered orally in recommended doses.

Is Arbidol suitable for breastfeeding women?
Arbidol is a low-toxic medicine. When using it, side effects are extremely rarely observed. Unfortunately, no experiments have been conducted regarding the effect of the drug on breastfeeding. The instructions note that it is unknown how much of the substance passes into breast milk. Therefore, it is more advisable to interrupt breastfeeding during treatment.
But still, some doctors prescribe the drug during lactation, until a negative effect on the child has been recorded.
Indications for use
Most often, doctors recommend using Arbidol for the prevention and treatment of viral diseases.
The medicine is recommended for:
- influenza type A and B
- acute respiratory viral infection
- bronchitis, pneumonia (complex therapy)
- immunodeficiency
- severe acute respiratory disease
In addition, the medication is prescribed for:
- prevention of infectious diseases after surgery
- normalization of immunity
Doctors prescribe the drug to children under 3 years of age for intestinal infections of rotavirus etiology (complex treatment).
What kind of medicine is Arbidol?
The drug Arbidol is a fairly effective antiviral agent.
The medication specifically affects viruses and provokes the production of interferon in the human body.
The active component of Arbidol helps stimulate the cellular, humoral reactions of the immune system, thereby increasing resistance to viral pathologies.
Due to the mechanism of action on the body, the medicine can be called a fusion inhibitor. Taking a pharmaceutical product helps:
- reducing the incidence of complications associated with exposure to viruses
- reduces the risk of exacerbation of chronic bacterial diseases
What is stronger Arbidol or Anaferon
The homeopathic remedy Anaferon is prescribed for colds; it is also suitable for strengthening the immune system. However, the drug does not have an antiviral effect. When treating pathologies, its use is effective only in the initial stages of the disease.
The drug Arbidol perfectly fights viruses, so in case of viral diseases it is better to opt for it, it is more effective.
Both medications are recommended to be taken together with other medications if a person suffers from a serious illness. But Anaferon and Arbidol are excellent for use for preventive purposes, as they do not harm the body.
Before starting to take Arbidol, it is recommended that you carefully read the instructions included with the drug.
