Tilaxin® (Tilorone) 125 mg, 10 tablets

What is Tilaxin® (Tilorone) 125 mg used for?

Tilaxin® is an antiviral medicine designed to support the body’s immune response in fighting specific viral infections. It contains Tilorone, a compound that stimulates the body’s natural defenses to block virus replication. This oral tablet is used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan and is recognized for its role in reducing the duration and severity of viral illnesses such as flu and herpes.

Tilaxin® is primarily used to treat and prevent influenza and acute respiratory viral infections, and also helps manage herpetic infections. The medication is suitable for adult patients and is available in a coated tablet form for easier swallowing.

How does Tilaxin® work in the body?

Tilaxin® belongs to the category of systemic antiviral medications. It activates the production of interferons—proteins that help the immune system detect and destroy viruses. This mechanism makes it effective not only for treating infections but also for preventing their onset during periods of increased risk.

By enhancing the body’s antiviral response, Tilaxin® can help shorten the course of illness and reduce symptoms when taken early in the infection.

When is Tilaxin® recommended?

Tilaxin® is typically recommended as part of a combined treatment regimen in the following cases:

• Treatment and prevention of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI)

• Management of herpes infections

It is important to use Tilaxin® as directed to achieve the best results, especially during cold and flu seasons or when symptoms of a viral infection first appear.

How should Tilaxin® 125 mg be taken?

Tilaxin® tablets are intended for oral use after meals. The dosage depends on the purpose of use:
