Pharmacology
"Panavir" is designed to fight viruses and enhance the ability of the immune system to resist pathological agents. The drug is based on extracts of young potato shoots.

This is a complex complex element, including mann, glucose, arabin, galact, ramn, xylose. The composition contains uranium acids.
The use of "Panavir" leads to the stimulation of the production of human interferon in the body. Against the background of such changes, nonspecific immune status is enhanced.
