Pharmacological action

Genferon Light - a combined drug whose action is due to its constituent components. It has a local and systemic effect.

Interferon alfa-2 has an antiviral, antibacterial and immunomodulating effect.

Under the influence of interferon alpha-2, the activity of natural killers, T-helpers, phagocytes, as well as the intensity of differentiation of B-lymphocytes, is increased in the body.

Activation of leukocytes contained in all layers of the mucous membrane ensures their active participation in the elimination of primary pathological foci and ensures the restoration of secretory immunoglobulin production A.

Interferon alfa-2 also directly inhibits the replication and transcription of viruses, chlamydia.

Taurine, which is part of the drug, has regenerative, reparative, membrane and hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties.

Anestezin is a local anesthetic. It reduces the permeability of the cell membrane for sodium ions, displaces calcium ions from receptors located on the inner surface of the membrane, and blocks the conduction of nerve impulses.

Prevents the occurrence of pain impulses in the endings of sensory nerves and their passage through nerve fibers.
