Arbidol, which is a modulatory preparation of the immune system of a complex chemical formula, is a highly effective curative antiviral drug. Indications for the beginning of the treatment process are:
- Acute viral infection of the respiratory system.
- Viral infection of the gastrointestinal tract in acute form.
- Infectious pathology due to secondary immunodeficiency state.
- Constant relapse of herpes infection, chronic respiratory disease.
When a drug enters the gastrointestinal tract, it blocks the action of the hemagglutinin protein, which ensures the penetration of the virus into the cell. As a result, the spread of the virus in the gastrointestinal tract and epithelial cells of the respiratory tract becomes a barrier. Immunomodulating effect of Arbidol is provided by intensifying the production of endogenous interferon, stimulating the T-cell and phagocytic links of immunity. The combined effects of these two mechanisms provide an obstacle to the course of the disease, and prevents the occurrence of complications.
An excellent absorption index from the gastrointestinal tract provides a very fast distribution time to organs and tissues, increasing the effectiveness of the action. The main role in the processing of the drug is played by the liver( 39%) and kidneys( 21%).The remaining 40% are excreted unchanged with bile. Another reason for diarrhea from Arbidol may be that there is an individual intolerance of individual components. Therefore, in the presence of renal and hepatic insufficiency, Arbidol is contraindicated, and its use for violations in the work of these organs provokes diarrhea.
In the capsule formulation there are substances that cause diarrhea in the presence of hypersensitivity to a particular component, and primarily lactose. Arbidol is recommended for the treatment of rotavirus infection, the hallmark of which is the combination of intestinal and respiratory syndromes. For rotavirus or otherwise, "intestinal flu" is characterized by manifestations of diarrhea. Therefore speaking of diarrhea from Arbidol, in fact there is a question of "intestinal flu", which is confused with ordinary flu. Viral infections lead to a significant weakening of immunity and when taking acute, fatty foods, perhaps the development of diarrhea, although it has nothing to do with the drug used. If Arbidol shows diarrhea, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
