Clinical Pharmacology

Immunostimulating drug with antiviral action. It is a complex containing inosine and a salt of 4-acetamido-benzoic acid with N, N-dimethylamino-2-propanol in a molar ratio of 1: 3.

The effectiveness of the complex is determined by the presence of inosine, the second component increases its availability for lymphocytes. Groprinosin blocks the reproduction of viral particles by damaging the genetic apparatus, stimulates the activity of macrophages, the proliferation of lymphocytes and the formation of cytokines.

Reduces the clinical manifestations of viral diseases, accelerates recovery, increases the body's resistance.

When Groprinosin is prescribed as an adjunct drug in case of infection of the mucous membranes and skin caused by the Herpes simplex virus, healing of the affected surface is more rapid than in the traditional way. Less frequently, new vesicles, edema, erosion, and relapse of the disease occur. With timely use of the drug reduces the incidence of viral infections, reduces the duration and severity of the disease.

There is no need for dose adjustment in elderly patients, the drug is used in the same way as in middle-aged patients. Older patients are more likely to have an increase in serum and urine uric acid concentrations than in middle-aged patients.

The drug is used in children over 3 years.

Against the background of treatment with Groprinosin in patients with liver failure, it is necessary to monitor every 2 weeks the content of uric acid in the blood serum and in the urine. Monitoring of liver enzyme activity is recommended every 4 weeks for long courses of drug treatment.

Contraindications

Precautions should be prescribed the drug with xanthine oxidase inhibitors, diuretics, zidovudine, in acute renal failure.

Drug interactions

Immunosuppressants weaken the immunostimulating effect of Groprinosin.

Groprinosin should be used with caution in patients taking both xanthine oxidase inhibitors (allopurinol) or “loopback” diuretics (furosemide, Torsemide, ethacrynic acid), because this can lead to an increase in serum uric acid concentration.

The combined use of the drug Groprinosin with zidovudine leads to an increase in the concentration of zidovudine in the blood plasma and prolongs its half-life. Thus, with the joint use of the drug Groprinosin with zidovudine, it may be necessary to adjust the dose of zidovudine.

Pregnancy and Lactation

The drug is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding), because its safety in this category of patients has not been established.

Special instructions

Groprinosin, like other antivirals, is most effective in acute viral infections if treatment is started at an early stage of the disease (preferably from the first day).

Since inosine is excreted in the form of uric acid, with prolonged use, it is recommended to periodically monitor the concentration of uric acid in blood serum and urine. Patients with a significantly increased concentration of uric acid in the body can simultaneously take drugs that lower its concentration.

It is necessary to monitor the concentration of uric acid in the blood serum in the appointment Groprinosin simultaneously with drugs that increase the concentration of uric acid, or drugs that violate the function of the kidneys.

Groprinosin should be used with caution in patients with acute liver failure, since the drug is metabolized in the liver.

Influence on ability to drive motor transport and control mechanisms

The effect of Groprinosin on the psychomotor functions of the body and the ability to drive vehicles and moving mechanisms has not been studied. When using the drug should take into account the possibility of dizziness and drowsiness.
