In modern pharmacy chains, there is a huge selection of various medicines that are prescribed by doctors for ARI, influenza or SARS. But, unfortunately, not all people have such a monetary income to purchase expensive medications. In this regard, we decided to share with you information about the currently existing drugs in pharmacies that are in no way inferior to advertised drugs, but much cheaper than the latter. So, what antiviral drugs, inexpensive but most effective, can pharmacists offer us? However, before answering this question, let's see how exactly this kind of medicine works.
The effect of antiviral drugs
Imported or domestic (inexpensive) antiviral drugs for colds are prescribed in order to eliminate all existing causes of the onset and further development of acute respiratory disease. As a result of such therapy in a patient:
- the risk of exacerbations of any chronic diseases (for example, bronchial asthma, bronchitis, etc.) is significantly reduced;
- the duration of the course of a cold is significantly reduced (by about a few days) and all its symptoms are relieved;
- significantly reduces the risk that after a respiratory acute illness, a person will have any complications.
It is also worth noting that antiviral drugs (inexpensive, but effective) are also taken as emergency preventive measures if one of the family members is seriously ill and it is urgent to reduce the risk of infection of the people around him.
List of low-cost drugs
Low-cost antiviral drugs with ARVI practically do not differ from those medicines whose price goes well beyond 1000 Russian rubles. Often such a high cost of tablets is due to the fact that their manufacturer is a popular and branded pharmaceutical company.
