Packaging

20 ml - glass aerosol cans (1) with a continuous valve and nozzle - cardboard packs.

pharmachologic effect

Immunostimulating drug based on bacterial lysates. IRS 19 enhances specific and non-specific immunity.

When spraying IRS 19, a fine aerosol is formed that covers the nasal mucosa, which leads to the rapid development of a local immune response. Specific protection is due to locally generated antibodies of the class A secretory immunoglobulin type A (IgA), which prevent the fixation and reproduction of infectious agents on the mucosa. Non-specific immunoprotection is manifested in an increase in the phagocytic activity of macrophages, an increase in the lysozyme content.

Indications

Adults and children over 3 months of age:

• prevention of chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract and bronchi;
• treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract and bronchi, such as rhinitis, sinusitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, tracheitis, bronchitis and others;
• restoration of local immunity after the transferred flu or other viral infections;
• preparation for planned surgical intervention on ENT organs and the postoperative period.

There is insufficient evidence of the potential for teratogenic or toxic effects on the fetus during pregnancy. Therefore, the use of the drug IRS 19 during pregnancy is not recommended.

special instructions

At the beginning of treatment, reactions such as sneezing and increased discharge from the nose may occur. As a rule, they are of short duration. If these reactions take a severe course, you should reduce the frequency of administration of the drug or cancel it.

At the beginning of treatment, in rare cases, an increase in body temperature of ≥39 ° C is possible. In this case, the drug should be discontinued. However, one should distinguish such a condition from an increase in body temperature, accompanied by malaise, which may be associated with the development of diseases of ENT organs.

In case of clinical symptoms of a bacterial infection, the appropriateness of prescribing systemic antibiotics should be considered.

When prescribing an IRS drug to 19 patients with bronchial asthma, an increase in seizures is possible. In this case, it is recommended to stop treatment and not to take this class of drugs in the future.
