You can buy a variety of Interferon alfa-2b products from us with the fastest delivery! We offer them in injections, powder, suppositories, and nasal spray forms.

Interferon alfa-2b is an antiviral or antineoplastic drug that consists of 165 amino acid residues. It is a recombinant form of the protein interferon alpha-2 that was originally sequenced and produced recombinantly in the laboratory of Charles Weissmann at the University of Zurich. It has been used for a wide range of indications, including viral infections and cancers. This drug is approved around the world for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, chronic hepatitis B, hairy cell leukemia, Behçet’s disease, chronic myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, follicular lymphoma, carcinoid tumor, mastocytosis, and malignant melanoma. The medication is also being used in clinical trials to treat patients with SARS-CoV-2.

Interferon alpha-2b is a more purified form of the substance compared to interferon-alpha. It contains only one type of protein and, accordingly, is better tolerated during administration. 

In the CosmicNootropic store, we have several options of interferon alfa-2b preparations. In addition to Altevir Interferon Alfa-2b injections, we offer other forms of the drug. Namely, Reaferon powder, Viferon suppositories, and Grippferon nasal spray. Information about these forms is presented below.

Altevir

Altevir comes in an injection form. The most effective way to administer interferons is said to be parenteral (intramuscular injections). In this mode of administration, the drug has the maximum effect and is almost completely absorbed by the body.

There may be some side effects in the case of interferon injections. For example, fever, joint aches, and headache are possible in the first days of the treatment. These symptoms are not critical for the body and they tend to disappear soon, but during the treatment, they may cause some discomfort. To minimize these side effects of interferon therapy, some prefer the use of suppositories.

Reaferon-EС-Lipint

Reaferon-EС-Lipint is a liposome form of interferon. This means that interferon molecules are placed in small bioparticles called liposomes. This bio container protects interferon from destruction in the aggressive environment of the stomach and allows it to circulate in the blood and maintain its activity for a longer period of time. 

Thanks to the liposome, interferon retains all its healing properties and very rarely causes side effects. Prolonged circulation of liposomal interferon in the blood provides the same therapeutic effect but with a lower dose compared to interferon injections.

Specific immunotherapy requires that the drug should be administered 30 min after meals.

Viferon

Viferon is a complex antiviral immunomodulating drug, containing human recombinant interferon alfa-2b, as well as additional substances: vitamins E and C

Viferon was developed in the 1990s at the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology by a group of scientists led by Prof. Malinovskaya. In 1998, the drug was registered. 

Suppositories are a fairly convenient form of introducing interferon into the body since they can be used either for the treatment of some diseases of the urogenital tract (locally) or as a complex effect. The rectal area has quite a rich blood supply, and due to that the drug quickly enters the bloodstream. Rectal suppositories are used to quickly deliver interferon into the body, bypassing the acidic environment of the stomach.

Suppositories containing this substance can be used in both children and adults. Suppositories are prescribed for pregnant women from the 14th week of pregnancy. The drug has no restrictions on use during lactation. Buy Viferon (Interferon Alfa-2b Suppositories) for children who may be afraid of intramuscular injections.

In 2019, the drug received the Russian Pharma Awards (which is given upon the doctor survey) in the nomination for “The most prescribed antiviral drug for the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections in children from the first days of life”.

Grippferon

Grippferon is a drug based on a highly active recombinant interferon alfa-2b (artificially produced); it has immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties.

The effects of interferon alfa-2b:

  • Antiviral effect lies in the activation of protective mechanisms of virus-free cells that prevent the virus entry and assembly of virions.
  • Immunomodulating effect. Interferon alfa-2b activates macrophages, T cells, and NK cells (Natural-killer cells), increases phagocytosis and antigen processing and presentation mediated by major histocompatibility complex (MHC), and stimulates proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow cells, therefore enhancing the mechanism of antiviral protection.
  • Anti-inflammatory effect, which is due to the immune system reactions boosted by interferon alfa-2b.
  • In contrast to other drugs containing interferon, Grippferon prevents the viruses’ reproduction in the nasal mucosa – exactly where the viruses enter the body, buy it for help with viral infections.

 

Indications

  • Prevention and treatment of influenza and acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) in children and adults.

 

When to use Grippferon?

  • After contact with a patient and/or cold exposure use 1 dose in accordance with the age prescriptions above 2 times a day.
  • In order to prevent seasonal sickness and stimulate the immune system use 1 dose in accordance with the age prescriptions above in the morning every 1 or 2 days.
  • If necessary, prophylactic administration can be repeated. The drug is also prescribed to children from 1 year of age.
