Amixin, also known as Tylorone, is an antiviral medication used in the treatment and prevention of various viral infections. It belongs to the class of drugs called interferon inducers, which work by stimulating the immune system to produce interferon, a natural substance that helps the body fight against viruses.
Amixin is primarily used for the treatment of certain viral diseases, including influenza, acute respiratory viral infections, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. By boosting the production of interferon, Amixin helps to inhibit the replication of viruses, thereby reducing the severity and duration of the infections.
The drug is available in the form of tablets for oral administration. The usual recommended dose for adults is 125-250 mg per day, and the duration of treatment varies depending on the specific viral infection. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration as directed by a healthcare professional.
Amixin is generally well-tolerated, with mild and infrequent side effects. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, nausea, and allergic reactions. It is not recommended for use in individuals with hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or any other components of the medication.
As with any medication, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting treatment with Amixin, as they can provide proper guidance based on the individual's medical history and specific viral infection.
