Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The drug suppresses the severity of infections caused by human papillomavirus , parvovirus , herpes , canine distemper , etc.
The drug reduces the activity of bacteria: salmonella , E. coli , chlamydia , staphylococci , ureaplasma , mycoplasma , etc. The drug is of peptidoglycan nature .
Immunomax activates several parts of the immune defense system at once:
- NK cells . When exposed to the drug after 3 hours, the expression of CD69 activation molecules increases, while the cytolytic activity of these cells increases 3 times.
- 4 hours after administration of the drug, circulating monocytes begin to intensively secrete cytokines : tumor necrosis factor (alpha), interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-8.
- Activation of neutrophil granulocytes is carried out due to the action of monocytes , while Immunomax does not have a direct effect on neutrophil granulocytes. Monocytes secrete interleukin-8, which activates neutrophil granulocytes (the effect is observed one day after drug intake).
- Tissue macrophages enhance the production of bactericidal substances and the formation of antibodies in the fight against foreign agents.
Description and composition of Immunomax for injections for HPV
Pictured is Immunomax for the treatment of HPV
Immunomax is a line of antiviral, immunomodulatory agents used in the treatment of a number of viral diseases. Available in the form of powder in capsules for oral administration and lyophilized powder for intramuscular injection.
In the treatment of human papillomavirus, Immunomax injections are considered more effective. Powder for injection helps to cope with the causative agent of the disease, and also helps to cleanse the skin of tumors caused by HPV.
Immunomax eliminates the following types of papillomas:
- Filiform papillomas . One of the most common types of epidermal growths provoked by the activity of papillomavirus in the blood. Women especially suffer from them during pregnancy and after childbirth. It widely affects the neck, armpits and the area under the mammary glands. Externally, they are thin processes up to 1 cm long.
- Genital warts . Most often found in the anogenital area in people who are sexually active. They can also appear on the eyelids, tongue, lips, on and near any mucous membranes. They are often located in whole groups.
- Vulgar warts . They mainly affect children, namely kindergarten and primary school age. They can be located singly or in several formations, on the hands or toes.
- Flat warts. They mainly affect girls and boys during adolescence, since one of the provoking factors for their appearance is hormonal changes in the body. They grow not upward, but outward, appearing mainly in groups.
- Spikes. It is called an occupational disease of athletes and everyone who visits swimming pools, public saunas, steam rooms, baths. Most often found on the soles of the feet. They grow not outward, but inside the epidermis. They are usually formed in a single copy. The appearance of several spines nearby at once indicates a strong concentration of the virus in the body.
This result is achieved thanks to the body’s ability to respond to the main active ingredient included in Immunomax - acidic peptidoglycan from potato sprouts. This biologically active polysaccharide is obtained by extracting plant raw materials (from potato tuber sprouts), followed by extraction and keeping the substance for 16-18 hours at a temperature of 20°C. Then separation, twenty-day aging and fractionation by molecular weight, concentration and drying are carried out. The result is a white powder, ready for dilution and injection.
Immunomax is produced by the Russian pharmaceutical company. The drug is packaged in dark glass bottles. Comes with 3 ampoules in a cardboard box. Immunomax is supplemented with instructions for use. Available in pharmacies with a doctor's prescription.
The price of Immunomax in the form of powder for injections is from 894 rubles per package in Russia (from 730 hryvnia in Ukraine).
There are no direct analogues of Immunomax for injection. Such drugs as Allokin-Alpha and Interferon are similar in their effects on the body.
Note! The lyophilized drug Immunomax, like most antiviral drugs, requires special storage conditions. The product must be stored at a temperature from 2°C to 8°C. At home, this temperature regime can be achieved by placing the drug on the refrigerator door. Despite the fact that it is packaged in dark glass bottles, you should avoid exposing the powder to direct sunlight. Water for injection is used to dilute the product; the prepared product must be injected immediately after preparation.
Immunomax, instructions for use (Method and dosage)
The contents of the bottle must be dissolved in 1 ml of distilled water for injection.
For adults, drugs are prescribed 100 units intramuscularly once a day. The course of treatment includes 6 injections: 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 days.
For recurrent anogenital warts, the dose of the drug is increased to 200 units, and at the same time destruction of the warts is carried out (electrocoagulation, solcoderm, cryodestruction, laser destruction).
According to the instructions for use of Immunomax, in case of weakened immunity: a course of 3-6 injections (up to 200 units).
The benefits of Immunomax lyophilisate for injection for HPV
Immunomax reviews from doctors are positive. According to them, the action of the drug is based on the correction of the immune system, which has weakened as a result of exposure to provoking factors: previous viral and bacterial diseases, stress, hormonal changes, bad habits, poor diet, overwork and others. Injections with immunomodulators normalize the process of formation of antibodies that suppress and destroy viral and bacterial pathogens.
The effect of using Immunomax for injection is as follows:
- Immunostimulating . The main task of the drug is to use the body's internal resources by strengthening the immune defense when the body is infected with viral and bacterial infections.
- Antiviral . Components of plant origin help not only to use personal reserves, but also have a destructive effect on viral membranes while the body develops an immune response. This complex effect of the drug gives more significant results than when treating HPV exclusively with antiviral drugs.
- Antibacterial . Immunomax also has a destructive effect on bacteria. This helps neutralize infections if the disease has already passed from the viral stage to the bacterial stage.
- General strengthening . The use of this drug develops the body’s ability to resist not only the human papillomavirus, but also many other viruses, in particular those leading to colds. Therefore, it is noted that therapy with immunostimulating agents is an excellent prevention of seasonal colds. People who have completed this course of therapy may not be attacked by ARVI and influenza for several years. If the body becomes infected, the course of the disease is often much more benign than in those who have not undergone such therapy.
- Anticancer . The use of Immunomax for HPV also provides serious prevention of cancer. In particular, melanoma and cervical cancer. Melanoma can form as a result of the degeneration of epidermal inclusions caused by papillomavirus from benign to malignant. Cervical cancer is possible when a virus affects an eroded organ. A course of injections with this drug helps prevent the development of cancer.

The medicine is used as a means of increasing the body's defenses. Many doctors recommend using the drug after removal of benign tumors: condylomas, papillomas, warts.

On medical forums you can find the following reviews from doctors about the drug Immunomax:
Dermatovenerologist Maria K.
I constantly prescribe this drug for restorative and immunostimulating therapy to adult patients after removal of condylomas. The treatment has an obvious effect and positive dynamics. No reappearance of formations on the genitals was observed.
Dermatovenerologist Nikolay S.
In my practice I often used Immunomax. But I encountered frequent complications when using this remedy. There is evidence that the use of the drug disrupted hormonal levels, and rashes and acne appeared on the patient’s skin. In women, reproductive function may be affected. I do not recommend using this product! There are many other immunomodulators that are more effective and reliable.
Dermatovenerologist Alexey M.
I constantly use this medicine for my patients. I can say that Immunomax is very effective for treating diseases caused by papillomaviruses. It should be borne in mind that almost all medications have contraindications for use, so before using the medication you need to find out any concomitant diseases and conduct an allergy test to the components of Immunomax. In this case, there should be no negative effect.
Dermatovenerologist Anna K.
I use Immunomax in my work. I can say with confidence that negative phenomena from the use of the drug occur when the daily dose of the drug and the order of injections are not observed. If you strictly follow the instructions and follow all the doctor’s recommendations, no complications arise. Immunomax is a very effective remedy for the treatment of viral infections.
