Experts have a clear answer
In most regions of the country, real spring came. However, March brought not only the spring mood — unfortunately, the March weather extremely favors the spread of viruses. According to scientists, the flu most actively manifests itself at –2 ° C to +4 ° C. This is noticeable and by the statistics of the incidence — the number of patients constantly increasespassing for a million cases a week.
Not all antivirus drugs are equally effective
Of particular concern is an increase in the share of influenza A (H1N1) — the infamous “pork flu”, which is characterized by a high level of infection and an increased risk of complications — pneumonia, meningitis, etc.
In the current epidemiological situation, it is necessary to pay maximum attention to preventive measures, and if the first symptoms appear, to quickly begin treatment. What methods of protection against viruses are most effective?
Antiviral drugs are a popular way of preventing and treating viral diseases. As explains the chief children’s allergist-immunologist of the Ministry of Health of the Moscow Region, MD Andrey Prodeus It is advisable to use such drugs for both preventive and therapeutic purposes, since they prevent the penetration of viruses into the cell, allow you to significantly reduce the risk of complications and reduce the duration of the disease.
Recently, a generalized analysis of numerous studies of antiviral drugs (73 studies, 34.5 thousand subjects) was published in the journal of the American Medical Association of Jama. The best result in the speed of eliminating the symptoms of influenza was shown by Umifenovir, which was better known as Arbidol, developed in our country, writes Ridus.ru. In second place is Balksavir, in the third — Oseltamivir. It should be noted that in Russia, only Umifenovir is released from this triple without a prescription. As noted by the famous doctor and TV presenter, MD Elena Malysheva, Results of research published in the United States Jama Network completely refute the myth of the inefficiency of the arbidol. Scientists have proven that he actively fights and wins not only the flu A and B, but also other infections — adenoviruses, rhinoviruses, and the light form of Covid.
At the same time, the study showed that some previously popular flu products — such as, for example, Amantadins, have lost their former effectiveness. New varieties of influenza viruses were adapted to them.
