Kagocel for colds

Is "Kagocel" effective for colds?

Although Kagotsel is an exclusively Russian antiviral drug and is not used in Western Europe and the US, many Russians have proved their effectiveness. What determines the effectiveness of Kagotsel, and is it really helpful in treating colds?

Mechanism of action of the drug "Kagocel"

"Kagocel" is one of the most popular and effective means for influenza in Russia: in the US and Western Europe, this drug is not even sold, but, nevertheless, it is used in many CIS countries, and in Russia, thanks to competent advertising, has acquired a huge army of "admirers".

The main action of "Kagocel" is due to the fact that the substances contained in it are interferon inducers: they stimulate the production of their own interferon in the human body. The main active ingredient "Kagocela" is a copolymer of gossypol - one of the pigments of cotton, the main mechanism of which is stimulation development of interferon providing antiviral and immune-modeling effects: a decrease in temperature and an antiviral effect.

The exact mechanism of the effect of kagocel on the production of interferon is still unknown. This is one of the reasons for the non-recognition of the drug on the world pharmaceutical market and in medicine in principle.

Interferon refers to a number of proteins that are secreted by the cells of the body in response to the invasion of the virus. Thanks to interferon cells become immune to the virus, so the "Kagocel" is especially effective at the very beginning of the disease, when the virus has not yet spread in the body. Taking this medication at the onset of the disease often helps prevent further development and spread of the virus.

Kagocel: side effects and indications for use

The main indication for the use of Kagotsel is the presence of acute respiratory viral infection or influenza in adults and children. Also, "Kagocel" is often used in the prevention of influenza and various respiratory-viral infections, as well as in the treatment of herpes in adults.

"Kagocel" accumulates in the body 24 hours or 32 hours after the injection - mainly in the liver (88%) - and is excreted from the body after 7 days through the intestine (90%) and kidneys (10%). In the exhaled air the drug was not detected.

Regarding the side effects... So far, no statistical studies have been carried out to confirm the existence of any side effects of Kagotsel (2013).

The effectiveness of the drug was tested mainly in clinical trials of 2000-2003: , 00 people took part in blind studies with placebo-controlled groups.

The active PR of the drug "Kagotsel" was awarded with Russian advertising awards. The increase in total sales was also noted: Brand of the Year (EFFIE 2011, 2012), as well as Platinum Ounce (Drug of the Year 2012)

The results of the clinical trials of "Kagocel" were covered only in the Russian press and in Russian popular scientific journals. The drug and the studies conducted in connection with it have not received international recognition: in the USA, in the West Europe, it is not sold and is not on the list of preparations of the World Health Organization (WHO).

How to take Kagocel tablets for children and adults for prevention and treatment

Kagocel tablets are a well-known antiviral drug of the new generation. They have a powerful therapeutic effect not only in respect of the viral pathogenic microflora, but also stimulate the immune defense of the human body. With proper use, it can increase the immune status and accelerate the process of regeneration and regeneration of tissues damaged by bacterial infectious agents. This action is possible due to the fact that the active substance, which is part of the drug, can enhance the production of natural alpha and gamma interferons. These natural substances provide unique protection of the body from various pathogenic agents.

The article tells about how to take "Kagotsel" for children and adults with the purpose of treatment and prevention of colds, influenza and herpetic infection. You can also find out about indications and contraindications, conditions of use in early childhood, during pregnancy and during breastfeeding.

"Kagocel" preparation: composition and therapeutic properties

The chemical composition of "Kagocel" is quite simple, which facilitates the full assimilation of the active substance and the almost complete absence of side effects. The basis is the same substance kagocel, which is a synthetic compound that affects certain cells of the human body. As auxiliary components, emulsifiers, 3 starches, stearates and food coloring for the film coat are included in the tablet formulation.

The drug "Kagocel" is manufactured by the pharmacological industry in the form of tablets with a dosage of 12 mg, coated with a film membrane, soluble in the small intestine. Such a degree of protection makes it possible to prevent the destruction of the active substance under the influence of the acidic environment of the contents of the stomach. Standard packaging - 10 pieces, this amount is enough for a single course of treatment for a cold or flu without concomitant complications.

The therapeutic effect is based on the chemical properties of the original components of the active substance. It is produced by a complex multi-step synthesis of carmoxymethyl cellulose and polyphenol, obtained from cotton seeds. The resulting component is precipitated as the sodium organic salt. According to the combination of therapeutic effect, the preparation has no analogues in measure of modern antiviral agents, because for the most part its therapeutic effect is based on the use of natural components.

As a result of proper use, the following therapeutic effects of influence are achieved:

1. the damaged immune status is restored;
2. strengthen the body's defenses;
3. the production of interferons that can recognize a pathogenic microflora and react to its presence with an immune response is resumed;
4. accelerates the process of destruction and elimination of pathogenic microbial flora;
5. the replication (reproduction) of viruses that are sensitive to this drug is disrupted;
6. Inactivation and removal of free radicals, capable of provoking the development of cancer tumors, occurs.

All these types of influence are based on the ability of the drug "Kagocel" to accelerate the synthesis of interferon and to increase the level of mature forms of proteins responsible for the reproduction of mucosal tissues. In addition, after a single administration of the active substance, the activity of T-lymphocytes, macrophages, helper cells of humoral immunity and granulocytes significantly increases. The regeneration is accelerated and by increasing the production of fibrin cells.

Another unique property lies in the ability of this drug to withstand cancer. This occurs against the background of suppression of the activity of altered cells, which are blocked by interferons at the stage of their onset. This creates a powerful and long-term protection against cancer.

The drug penetrates into all tissues and physiological fluids and accumulates in them until the moment when the therapeutic effect is no longer needed. In particular, when studying the tissues of the brain, lungs, heart, bone and spinal cord, spleen and liver, the active substance was in the cells even 72 hours after the end of treatment. High concentration is determined in the thymus and lymphatic system, ciliated epithelium of the small intestine. Absolutely not available for the active substance fatty tissue.

The maximum therapeutic effect develops after two days from the beginning of treatment. The titer of presence of interferons increases smoothly and gives the effect of a sharp deterioration of the patient's condition against the background of the total death of the pathogenic microflora. The cells of the small intestinal mucosa react first to the administration. Here, 3.5 hours after taking the pill, there is an increased activity of antiviral proteins that can reach the focus of infection with blood flow. A secondary immune response is observed after the transportation of the components to the structures of the bone marrow, spleen, lymphoid tissue and thymus. In response, the body begins to actively produce mature forms of leukocytes.

The effect lasts for seven days after the last administration of the drug. Therefore, for prevention, you can take 1 tablet 1 time in 5-6 days. Treatment of catarrhal viral diseases and influenza should begin no later than the 4th day after the appearance of clinical signs of intoxication.

How to drink antiviral medication "Kagocel" for prophylaxis and with angina (before or after eating)?

Kagocel is prescribed not only for viral infections, it is widely used with combined treatment regimens for bacterial pathologies. In particular, "Kagotsel" with angina staphylococcal and streptococcal etiology is proven to accelerate the process of recovery for 4-5 days. At the same time during clinical and practical tests it was found that this method of treatment almost completely excludes risk of developing secondary pathologies, such as rheumatism, heart disease, kidney failure and amyloidosis of the kidneys.

"Kagocel" for the prevention of colds and flu is applied once a week or immediately after contact with a sick person with severe signs of a viral disease. During epidemic outbreaks, it is recommended to take a certain schedule. For this, the drug is taken 2 consecutive days for 1 tablet in the morning. Then 5 days are skipped. And so until the end of the period of increased viral activity.

Before you drink "Kagotsel", you need to clarify the testimony to its purpose and get acquainted with a list of possible contraindications.

In particular, the antiviral "Kagocel" is recommended for the following pathologies:

• influenza caused by a virus of any type;
• ARI and ARVI, including adenovirus and respiratory syncytial infections, coronavirus;
• herpes of any type;
• predisposition to tumoral processes;
• long-lasting bacterial lesions against weakened immunity;
• generalized forms of candidal infection (with the aim of increasing the immune status).

Take the pill should be in the morning, on an empty stomach, drinking them with a sufficient amount of clean drinking water (at least 200 ml). You can take food after 30 - 40 minutes. Thus, the answer to the question of whether to take "Kagocel" before or after a meal becomes quite obvious, it is necessary to do this on an empty stomach.

How to take Kagocel for children and adults: dosage and recommendations

It is worth talking about how to take "Kagotsel" under various conditions, which require strengthening of immune defense and antiviral action. Tablets take only inside, no other ways of using the manufacturer is provided. Before taking the pill, you can not break it, release it from the film shell, divide it into parts, grind it.

Separately, it will be told how to take Kagocel to children, because for this age group there are a number of practical limitations. First of all, it is worth knowing that "Kagotsel" children can be given for preventive and curative purposes after reaching the age of 3 years. A special dosage form is not available for this, the standard dosage of the drug is used, taking into account the difference in the amount taken per day and the course of treatment of tablets.

"Kagocel" adults are initially recommended for admission in accordance with the manufacturer's proposed therapeutic regimens. However, in the absence of positive dynamics in the patient's condition for 3 days the dosage of "Kagocel" is selected individually taking into account the parameters of the general condition of the body, body weight, age and other factors.

Dosage of "Kagotsel" for adults and children
Treatment of ARVI, ARI and influenza in adults	It begins no later than 4 days after the onset of the disease. The first 2 days - 2 tablets 3 times at regular intervals. 3- and 4-th day for 1 tablet 3 times a day

Can I take Kagocel during pregnancy and with alcohol?

Many patients are interested in how "Kagocel" and alcohol are combined, because it is not uncommon for a drug to be taken with a preventive purpose and for this period various celebrations fall out. Also, some women think that it is possible to use Kagocel during pregnancy to prevent and treat viral infections. And these two questions sometimes become cornerstones, so we will understand them in more detail.

So, is it possible to take "Kagocel" during pregnancy and during breastfeeding, are similar methods of therapy justified? The overwhelming majority of doctors, based on the recommendations of researchers and manufacturers of the drug, recommend that future mothers, if possible, refrain from taking this drug. There is a risk of detrimental effects on the developing fetal tissue, and provoke the child's immune disorders, which in the future can lead to serious enough pathologies. This is due to the possibility of the active substance to freely penetrate through the placental barrier.

As shown by clinical and laboratory studies, the concentration of the drug in breast milk is also quite large so that there is the possibility of causing potential harm to the developing immune system of the infant.

In this regard, during pregnancy, it is necessary to exclude such methods of treatment, and in the period of breastfeeding, if necessary the drug should be weaned from the breast for a period of time from the start of therapy and up to 7 days after the last dose.

"Kagotsel" and alcohol at the same time is also strictly prohibited. Stimulated production of interferons under the influence of ethyl alcohol can cause severe forms of retinopathy (blindness), neuropathy (lameness), depressive syndrome with severe insomnia. In a number of cases, such changes are irreversible.

Take alcoholic beverages only 7 days after the completion of the full course of treatment.

Side effects of Kagotsel and contraindications for use

But if the crumb has all the symptoms of the disease, then drug therapy can not be dispensed with.

Children's antiviral drugs for colds are as follows:

1. Homeopathic remedies. In these drugs, the content of active substances is extremely small. How they affect the body until today is not clear. But the positive effect is often denied. Doctors recommend using the one-day rule. If the homeopathic remedy during the day did not give a favorable effect, the need for further admission is eliminated. Such drugs are: "Ocillococcinum", "Aflubin", "Anaferon", "Ergoferon", "Vibrokol" (candles).
2. Inductors of interferon. These are effective immunostimulants. They force the body to independently produce interferon. They are appointed very carefully. It is recommended that these funds be used for a short time. Because a long reception drains resources. In this connection, the effectiveness of drugs is significantly reduced. This group includes medicines: Citovir, Kagocel, Viferon (candles), Grippferon (drops). The drug "Derinat" of the new generation is very effective. It is noted that under his influence the body produces its own interferon much faster. Special attention should be paid to antiviral suppositories (for example, "Viferon"). Studies have confirmed that rectal administration can increase the bioavailability of interferon to 80%.
3. Combined effects. These are excellent antiviral agents, and at the same time, excellent interferon inducers. These include drugs: "Tsikloferon", "Amiksin", "Arbidol", "Ingavirin", "Isoprinosine", "Panavir". All agents work on viruses and simultaneously stimulate the production of interferon. Children under two do not use them, because the drugs have side effects.
4. Anti-influenza. This group includes medicines: Tamiflu, Remantadin, Relenza. Their impact extends only to influenza viruses. With regard to other diseases, they are ineffective.
