Instructions for use of Ergoferon for children: features of use

What does Ergoferon contain and how does it work?

Ergoferon is a homeopathic remedy that was developed to combat viruses.
The additional properties of this drug, according to the manufacturer, help overcome allergies and also relieve inflammatory processes. The international name of Ergoferon is Ergoferon. It was created in the Russian Federation in 2011. One of the properties of Ergoferon is the activation of nonspecific immunity. In other words, this drug is designed to increase the body’s immune forces, which are so necessary in the fight against influenza and other viruses.

You don't need a prescription to buy Ergoferon

Ergoferon contains active and auxiliary ingredients. Active components include:

• antibodies to gamma interferon,
• antibodies to histamine - they help prevent allergies, as well as suppress existing allergic reactions,
• antibodies to CD4, which help increase the activity of leukocytes at CD4 receptors, which leads to activation of the immune system.

Thus, Ergoferon has a complex effect on the body. Excipients include lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate. None of the components of Ergoferon itself is contraindicated for a nursing mother, except in cases of individual intolerance to any ingredient .

How does Ergoferon affect the body?

The active components of the drug help increase receptor activity, and this leads to a jump in immunity. Due to the presence of antibodies, which are included in the structure of the drug, the cells responsible for the body’s resistance to viruses are stimulated. That is, under the influence of Ergoferon, the body’s natural defense against viral attacks is strengthened, and the strength of the immune response to these attacks also increases.

Thanks to antibodies to histamine, the drug allows it to have an effect on eliminating allergies. In this area the following are noted:

• relieving nasal swelling,
• decreased tone of the bronchial muscles,
• reduction of sneezing syndrome,
• manifestations of runny nose and cough.

The action scheme of Ergoferon describes the antiviral and anti-inflammatory activity of the drug

When is Ergoferon used?

Ergoferon is used not only for treatment, but also for the prevention of many diseases. The list of indications includes the following:

• Influenza A and B.
• Acute respiratory viral infections caused by parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, coronavirus.
• Herpes virus infections (labial herpes, ophthalmic herpes, genital herpes, chickenpox, herpes zoster, infectious mononucleosis).
• Acute intestinal infections of viral etiology (caused by calicivirus, adenovirus, coronavirus, rotavirus, enteroviruses).
• Enteroviral and meningococcal meningitis, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, tick-borne encephalitis.
• Bacterial infections (pseudotuberculosis, whooping cough, yersiniosis, pneumonia of various etiologies, including those caused by atypical pathogens (M.pneumoniae, C.Pneumoniae, Legionella spp)).
• Prevention of bacterial complications of viral infections, prevention of the development of superinfections.

The spectrum of action of this drug, as we see, is extremely wide. However, Ergoferon is most often prescribed for the prevention and treatment of influenza and seasonal acute respiratory diseases.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The drug has antiviral, immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects.

Clinical trials confirm the effectiveness of active ingredients in the fight against diseases such as acute respiratory viral infections caused by viruses of various types, influenza A and B, herpes diseases, acute intestinal infections (enteroviruses, etc.), meningitis of various etiologies, tick-borne meningoencephalitis, hemorrhagic fever.

The drug can be included in complex therapy for diseases of bacterial origin (whooping cough, pneumonia, etc.), and used to prevent superinfections, complications of viral and bacterial diseases.

The use of the drug before and after vaccination increases the effectiveness of the latter and creates conditions for nonspecific prevention of ARVI during the development of post-vaccination immunity. The drug is suitable for the prevention of non-influenza acute respiratory viral infections and the prevention of the development of accidentally acquired diseases in the period after vaccination.

The action of the active substances is reduced to stimulating receptors for gamma interferon, CD4 receptor and histamine receptors. Due to this, a pronounced immunomodulatory effect is achieved.

It has been clinically confirmed that antibodies to gamma interferon:

• increase the expression of IFN-gamma, IFN-alpha and -beta and related cytokines synthesized by leukocytes (interleukins 2, 4, 10, etc.);
• activate ligand-receptor communication with interferon;
• normalize the activity of cytokines of the IF system;
• activate natural antibodies to gamma-IF;
• increase the body's antiviral resistance;
• accelerate interferon-related biological processes (activation of monocytes, regulation of immunoglobulin production, production of a mixed Th1 and Th2 immune response).

Anti-CD4 antibodies affect the activity of the CD4 receptor, as a result of which the activity of CD4 lymphocytes increases, the immunoregulatory index and the composition of a number of immunocytes are normalized.

Anti-histamine antibodies change the activation of H1 receptors, due to which the tone of the muscular layer of the bronchi is weakened and capillary permeability is reduced. The listed actions cause a decrease in swelling and mucus formation in the nasal cavity, elimination of cough, and a decrease in the severity of allergic manifestations.

Thus, the substances included in Ergoferon multiply the effects of each other, due to which the therapeutic effect occurs relatively quickly.

The capabilities of current research methods (GLC, high-performance liquid chromatography and others) do not allow us to establish the minimum concentration of AT in organs, tissues and biological fluids of the body, so at present the study of pharmacokinetics is not possible.

Do doctors and patients trust Ergoferon?

According to the instructions for the drug, breastfeeding, like pregnancy, is not a categorical ban on the use of this medicine. However, it also states that its safety for nursing mothers has not been proven. No studies have been conducted on the effect of Ergoferon on the health of a nursing mother and child .

It is important to understand that the vast majority of antiviral drugs are either prohibited during lactation or are acceptable for use with a note that their safety for the child is unproven. At the same time, it is better for a nursing woman not to use medications on her own, the instructions of which do not indicate permission for their use during lactation. Only a doctor can take responsibility for prescribing an antiviral, including a homeopathic antiviral remedy .

Overall, this drug is popular. Many young mothers indicate in their reviews the effectiveness of treatment with this drug.

I was sick a week ago, 38.6. A relative, a good doctor, turned to her. On her recommendation, I took Ergoferon, 4 tablets every half hour, then 1 tablet in the morning and evening. during the week (I reduced the week to one day =))))) I was sick for exactly 1 day!!!!!!! The child was breastfed, only a mask for everyone. put it on. I was also lucky that it was Sunday and my husband spent the whole day with my daughter, bringing her to me just to eat, otherwise I lay around all day)

Reviews

1. Oksana, 35 years old: This is not the first time I have used this remedy to treat a child. The pediatrician prescribed it to us. When signs of a cold appear, I immediately begin to give according to the scheme: first, one tablet every half hour (for two hours), then three more tablets a day. Since the baby is only two years old, the tablet has to be dissolved in water, which is very convenient. The product begins to help from the third day. Well tolerated! No side effects were noticed.
2. Olga, 38 years old: Ergoferon was used for the first time when the child was one year and three months old. After visiting the clinic, I developed a runny nose, cough, and lost my appetite. Diagnosis: ARVI. We were prescribed this drug for treatment. The course of treatment was ten days, taken as expected: on the first day, seven tablets, then three tablets per day. As a result, after 4 days the symptoms disappeared almost completely, but we completed the course completely. Now I periodically give the drug during the cold season, to prevent infection, and also every time after the clinic - one tablet. I can say that the child began to get sick much less often!

When and how is ergoferon used?

A specific drug for the treatment of various diseases of viral etiology is widely used in modern medicine. The mechanism of action of this drug is based on its composition. This medicine contains purified antibodies to histamine, CD4 receptor and human interferon.

For a complex effect on the woman’s body, these substances are combined using lactose. It should be noted that the content of antibodies in the drug is critically small; experts call their dilution figures close to 100 to the 50th power. Some pharmacologists prefer to classify this medicine as homeopathic medicines.

Composition and release form

The product is produced in tablet form. One blister contains twenty tablets. One pack contains one, two or five blisters. The tablets have a flat-cylindrical shape, white or almost whitish color.

Mechanism of action of the drug

Ergoferon during lactation is recommended for breastfeeding women, since this remedy is considered one of the best for combating viral infection. The medical literature notes the following therapeutic mechanisms of this medicine:

• Antibodies to histamine, which form the basis of this medicine, reduce muscle tone in the bronchi, improve blood metabolism in a woman’s lungs, and relieve the symptoms of swelling of the nasal and pharyngeal mucosa in patients. Doctors consider the ability of this substance to protect the body of a young mother from the development of allergic reactions to be quite an important factor.
• Antibodies to human interferon affect antiviral defense, activate the accelerated release of monocytes and lymphocytes into the blood, which increases the level of the woman’s immune system. We should not forget about the ability of these antibodies to promote the synthesis of immunoglobulins.
• No less important is the inclusion of antibodies to CD4 receptors in the drug. They activate the protective function of lymphocytes, which leads to a decrease in the spread of the virus in the body of a nursing mother.

It should be emphasized that all the substances included in ergoferon complement and enhance each other’s effects. It is this symbiosis that allowed doctors to classify this medicine as the most reliable antiviral agent.

How does breastfeeding affect lactation and the baby?

Experts have still not been able to resolve the dispute and come to a consensus regarding the effect of Anaferon on the human body. Some prescribe it to younger patients and nursing mothers, while others consider the drug ineffective.

Opponents of this drug are confident that Anaferon’s work is based on the placebo principle - it promotes a speedy recovery due to faith in the effectiveness of the drug. However, it actually helps adult patients, as well as children who are not aware of this effect.

In the meantime, it is known that the antibodies included in the drug enter the milk of a nursing mother unchanged. Consequently, the baby also receives them, and this becomes for him the prevention and treatment of colds.

In any case, women should not worry if the doctor has prescribed Anaferon, because it does not reduce lactation and does not harm the baby’s health.

Ergoferon for children

The therapeutic effect of Ergoferon

The therapeutic effect of Ergoferon consists of an immunomodulatory and antiviral effect, thanks to which the body easily defeats the infection. The components included in the drug contribute to the active detection of the pathogen and the formation of a rapid immune response to infection.

In addition to the antiviral effect, the drug has anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties. Thus, it can be used for etiotropic treatment aimed at combating the pathogen, and symptomatic therapy - to reduce swelling of the mucous membranes, eliminate bronchospasm and cough.

The product has a convenient release form - dissolving tablets, so it is suitable for both adults and children.

What do the doctor's say?

Over several years of using ergoferon, doctors have not developed a consensus about it. In general, their reviews are positive. Many admit that the drug really helps in the treatment of viral infections in patients of any age. It eases the course of the disease and promotes a speedy recovery. There are almost no contraindications for the use of ergoferon; it has virtually no side effects, therefore it is suitable for most patients, including small children. In addition, being, in fact, a homeopathic drug, this drug is practically safe.

But it is precisely the latter circumstance that causes a negative reaction from doctors. They believe that homeopathic remedies are ineffective in treating diseases. According to statistics, these drugs are effective only in 30% of cases. Doctors, as a rule, prefer stronger and faster-acting medications.

In addition, there is an opinion that taking any immunomodulators, such as ergofernon, adversely affects the immune system as a whole. When used once, such drugs can really help. But if immune stimulants are used constantly, then over time the body stops fighting the infection on its own, waiting for outside help. This leads to the fact that each time the immune system starts to work more and more slowly, and the disease will be more severe and last longer.

The opinion of ordinary people differs little from that of a doctor. Many of them note the effectiveness and ease of use of ergoferon in the fight against various diseases. But there are also patients for whom it did not help. They consider it useless and unreasonably expensive.

Prices for the antiviral drug and its analogues

As with any homeopathic remedy, the price of this medicine is quite high. The pharmacy chain of the Russian Federation sells this drug from 320 to 380 rubles for 20 tablets. Pricing policy depends on the region and manufacturer.

Ukrainian pharmacists are not much different from their Russian colleagues in setting retail prices for antiviral drugs. Ergoferon in Kyiv pharmacies can be bought for 160 hryvnia, and in some regions for 140 - 150 hryvnia for 20 lozenges.

Quite often, women are dissatisfied with the effectiveness of this drug, since one package of the drug is not enough to achieve the full effect, and, accordingly, treatment costs increase. Most often, experts recommend that their patients take the following, cheaper analogues of ergoferon during lactation:

• Kagocel is approved for use during breastfeeding; its price (240 rubles per pack) is quite affordable. Taking this medication may be accompanied by allergic reactions, so it requires caution and constant monitoring by a doctor.
• Anaferon has proven itself well for the treatment of viral pathology in young mothers. This medicine will cost a woman 200 - 220 rubles per package.
• Homeopathic antigrippin tablets are considered the most affordable. They cost 90 - 100 rubles and are approved for use during lactation.

The modern pharmacy chain offers a fairly wide selection of products used to combat viral pathology. When choosing a medicine, you should take into account that during breastfeeding, each new drug used by the mother can affect the health of her baby.

We recommend reading the article about the immunity of a nursing mother. From it you will learn about the causes and signs of a decrease in a woman’s defenses during lactation, ways to strengthen the immune system, and the effectiveness of traditional medicine.

If a woman is concerned about frequent cases of acute respiratory viral infections and reduced immunity, she must definitely seek advice from a specialist. Only a professional can advise a young mother to choose an effective and safe remedy to combat the disease.

Price and method of dispensing in a pharmacy

The solution and tablets can be purchased in city pharmacies without a prescription from a doctor. The cost of the drug depends on the dosage form. Approximate price of Ergoferon in Moscow pharmacies:

• 20 lozenges from 250 to 300 rubles;
• bottle of solution for internal use 300-320 rubles.
