Treatment and prevention

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 5–10% of adults and 20–30% of children suffer from influenza every year, while 250–500 thousand sick people die.

Influenza and ARVI viruses, penetrating into the organism rapidly propagate, causing the disease symptoms such as (fever, aches, headache, intoxication, cough, sore throat, runny nose). Often, acute respiratory viral infections and influenza can lead to the development of complications (bronchitis, pneumonia, otitis media, exacerbation of concomitant diseases, etc.).

ARBIDOL influences directly on the cause of the disease, i.e. on the ARVI and influenza viruses.

ARBIDOL can be used for treatment and prevention of influenza and ARVI in three modes.
