Description

Compound: Each capsule contains:

Standardized lyophilisate OM-85 containing 7 mg lyophilisate of bacterial lysates: Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae and ozaenae, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and viridans, Moraxella catarrhalis.

Properties: Immunostimulating drug of bacterial origin. Causes an immune response of the mucous membrane of the digestive tract. Especially the effect is manifested in Peyer’s patches (PB) of the small intestine. Antigen presenting cells (APCs) in PB are activated by the drug and subsequently stimulate the cells responsible for specific immunity. When using the drug, an increase in the number of circulating B-lymphocytes is observed. After stimulation of B-lymphocytes, there is an increase in the production of polyclonal antibodies, especially serum IgG and IgA secreted by the respiratory mucosa and saliva. These antibodies are the first line of defense against a range of infectious agents (viruses and bacteria). The drug has a powerful stimulating effect on most types of leukocytes, as evidenced by an increase in the number of myeloid and lymphoid cells, as well as a selective increase in the expression of receptors on their surface. Taken together, these data confirm that the drug triggers biological reactions that enhance the body’s immune defense against infection.

Indications: Adults and children aged 12 and over:

– prevention of recurrent respiratory infections and exacerbations of chronic bronchitis;
