Description of the preparation
Poludan is an antiviral drug created on the basis of a biosynthetic polyribonucleotide complex.Areas of application - treatment of adenoviral, herpetic infections of the eyes. The mechanism of action of the drug is associated with the induction of the synthesis of endogenous interferons, cytokines in the blood, as well as interferons in the lacrimal fluid.
Poludan is an effective antiviral drug used in the treatment of herpetic, adenoviral ophthalmic infections.
The form of release - a solution in glass bottles with a dropper, the volume of one bottle is 5 ml.Excipients - sodium chloride, sodium hydrogen phosphate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate.You can prescribe the drug in the form of eye drops or subconjunctival injections - specify.

In the treatment of superficial viral lesions of the eye - this is keratitis, conjunctivitis, keratoconjunctivitis - the drug is prescribed in the form of instillations.The solution must be instilled in the affected eye by 1-2 calves 6-8 times a day, as the recovery time, the frequency of instillation is reduced by half. The average duration of treatment is 7-10 days. If the desired effect from the use of the drug will not be, it begins to inject subconjunctival.Injection of the solution Poludan is prescribed for the treatment of viral uveitis, stromal keratitis, choreoretinitis, optic neuritis.The solution is mixed with novocaine or water for injection and injected 100 μg once in one to two days. The course of treatment - 8-10 or 15-20 injections.
Poludan is a complex of polyribonucleotides, which are obtained by biosynthesis.The effect of the drug is immunomodulatory, antiviral. The mechanism of therapeutic action is based on stimulation of the formation of immune defense in the body (a namely cytokines, endogenous interferons) plus an increase in the activity of T-killers that recognize foreign antigens. Active components of the solution: Poludan:
polyribronucleotide complex 100 U;
polyribouridyl acid.The effect of the drug is immunomodulatory, antiviral.
After the installation, the active components of the solution quickly penetrate into the eye tissues, are detected in small amounts in the blood serum, tear fluid, and are quickly eliminated from the body.

keratitis;
keratoconjunctivitis;
uveitis;
keratouwites;
iridocyclitis;
deep keratitis;
choreoretinitis;
neuritis of the optic nerve caused by viruses.
Do not appoint Poludan with individual intolerance of active and auxiliary components.Cases of overdose are unknown. For children, the dosage is the same as for adults (1-2 drops), but instillations are made at most 3-4 times per day.

strengthening the vasculature of the mucosa.
The introduction of the solution into the anterior eye chamber can be accompanied by an increase in intraocular pressure (briefly), the formation of small hemorrhages.

conclusions
Antiviral drug Poludan provokes active production of tissue hormones of cytoquines. It is used in the treatment of a wide list of viral eye lesions. The only contraindication to the use of a solution for topical application in the form of instillation or injection is the individual intolerance of its components. Side effects (itching, burning, swelling, redness, etc.) usually pass themselves within 1-3 days after drug withdrawal.
