Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Respibron is a specific immunomodulatory drug based on bacterial lysate. Against the background of its use, there is an increase in the number of secretory and serum antibodies in the body, which contribute to an increase in the activity of cellular and humoral immunity, a decrease in the frequency of occurrence of respiratory infections and their severity.
The mechanism of action of bacterial lysate is due to the activation of nonspecific resistance and specific immunity.
The action of the membrane antigens included in the preparation activates macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, induction of phagocytosis and cell lysis, contributing to the activation of nonspecific resistance.
Activation of specific immunity occurs due to an increase in the level of T-lymphocytes and effector CD4 and CD8 B-lymphocytes, interleukins (IL) -2, serum immunoglobulins of classes A, M, G and secretory immunoglobulin class A (slgA). The achieved improvement in immunity lasts for several years.
