Modern medicine knows many ways to help a child cope with viral diseases. The most safe and non-addictive for the child's body are preparations in the form of candles. Laherobion candles for children - a fairly new drug, the action of which is not known to all parents, so let's understand together why recently doctors so often assign it to our children.
Why do they use laferobion?
The drug laferobion has an immunomodulating and antimicrobial effect. The composition of the drug includes human interferon and vitamins C and E. Such a composition increases the antiviral activity and protective forces of the body.
Laferobion is indicated for:
ARVI;- pneumonia of bacterial and viral origin;
- meningitis, as a complex therapy;
- specific intrauterine infection (chlamydia, herpes, etc.);
- infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.
This drug can be combined with the use of antibacterial agents. And it also combines well with antimicrobials and glucocorticosteroids. Practice shows that laferobion in the form of candles copes well with the diseases at the initial stage, so taking the drug with the first symptoms of acute respiratory viral infection can save the child from the disease in 1-2 days, reducing the occurrence of unwanted complications. In addition, the effectiveness of the drug is significantly increased when it is used with other drugs that have an immunomodulatory effect. The course of treatment with the drug is determined individually, depending on the form of the disease and the age of the child.
Laferobion suppositories for children - dosage
The drug is safe for newborns and premature babies, so doctors often prescribe it for babies from the first days of life. From birth to the year, laferobion suppositories for children are prescribed to 150,000 IU (1 suppository) 2 times a day at intervals of 12 hours. With the development of bacterial infection, the number of drug administration can be increased up to 3 times a day at an interval of 8 hours. The drug takes from 5 to 7 days from one to several courses with breaks between courses in 5 days.
Laferobion - contraindications
The drug has virtually no contraindications and is not addictive. However, in rare cases, small patients experience increased sensitivity to the components of the drug, which can manifest as allergic reactions. Also, it is not recommended to take the drug to those who have thyroid disorders and serious violations of the liver and kidneys. Adverse reactions in the form of urticaria, fever, chills and lethargy, are extremely rare and disappear without a trace with discontinuation of the drug.
