Therapeutic effect
According to reviews, Polyoxidonium is very effective. It acts in such a way that it stimulates the immune system, having a detoxifying effect with an antioxidant effect. The excellent properties along with the high effectiveness of the drug are explained by its chemical as well as biological characteristics. Polyoxidonium has the ability to increase the resistance of the human body to infectious invasions. At the same time, the body's resistance can increase to fungal, viral and bacterial infectious pathologies. Immunologists' feedback on Polyoxidonium will also be presented.
Stimulation of immunity under the influence of the drug is carried out by activating the process of phagocytosis and the formation of antibodies. The presented drug has an effect on phagocytic cells that produce a greater number of cytokines that can destroy pathogenic microorganisms. Ultimately, the body's immune response is enhanced. Phagocyte cytokines can also have a modulating effect on other immune cells, causing them to work more efficiently, destroying pathogenic microorganisms. The drug "Polyoxidonium" can restore a normal immune response in the presence of a secondary immunodeficiency state, which develops in the following situations:
- Radiation exposure.
- The aging process of the body.
- Taking steroid hormonal drugs.
- Conducting chemotherapy.
- The presence of severe and long-term infections, such as tuberculosis, etc.
- Injuries and serious burns, surgical interventions for cancer, etc.
According to immunologists, "Polyoxidonium" in the form of drops under the tongue perfectly stimulates local immunity, as a result of this effect, the bronchi along with the nose and Eustachian tubes acquire a fairly high resistance to various infectious pathogens. The use of this drug in the form of tablets helps to stimulate the activity of the immune cells of the digestive system, which also leads to the body's immunity to various infections. In addition, the intake of these tablets activates the immune cells in the tissues, which causes an acceleration of the removal of pathogens from the chronic focus of infection in the body.
This is confirmed by the instructions for use with Polyoxidonium. We will consider reviews below.
As part of the treatment of infectious and inflammatory pathologies, the drug has the following therapeutic properties:

- Improving the overall well-being of a person.
Polyoxidonium can have an excellent effect when used simultaneously with traditional medicines, for example, in combination with various antibiotics, antiviral and antihistamines, along with bronchodilators, beta-agonists, corticosteroids and cytostatics. The presented drug can enhance the effect of these medications, which makes it possible to reduce their dose, reducing the course of therapy and significantly prolonging remission.
The detoxifying nature of the activity of Polyoxidonium is due to its polymer structure. It gives cell membranes resistance to the toxic effects of drugs and chemicals.
