The usual immunal stimulates immunity well and I am grateful to the doctor from the local polyclinic who helped me to the bone of the sick and always snotty to help me find the right means for raising it,although earlier there were lycouras (in my opinion so), echinacea in tablets, tsikloferon, but once 5 per season I was on a sick-list with all the untidy symptoms of a cold.

After the first immunal supplements, my temperature rose to 37.3 - I went to the doctor. He calmed down, saying that this means the medicine went to me and causes the training of immunity and really then the temperature went unnoticed and I finished the bottle calmly, conveniently dosing it out of the measuring syringe that was enclosed in the box.

Result: for the winter - once only caught a cold, than surprised his therapist and he was happy, now the boss at work does not look at me askance, I'm a parasite and do not want to work forever on the sick-list. In a word, the suggestion does not seem to be, since before this was full of funds and the medicine really helps to improve immunity.

I always said that all these immune drugs really do not do anything. That's immune, not an exception. I did not notice any results. As I was ill three times a season, I continue to be ill. The taste is not bad. And the rest is nonsense. The only thing is that at a price it is slightly cheaper than analogues in pharmacies. In general, I'm not happy.She drank the whole course, took in drops.

Ulker, In children over the age of 1 it is permissible to use Immunal in the following dosages: from 1 year to 6 years - 1 ml 3 times a day. A boy or girl is already an unprincipled issue for this medicine.

Hello. Tell me why in 2011 the immunal was allowed to children from the year with the same composition and amount of alcohol, and now in 2017 is already banned for a year and is allowed in general only with 12 years? And immunal C, which was without alcohol, is absent in pharmacies for several months.

Svetlana0408I can assume that new negative effects of the alcohol solution of Immunal have been found or the effectiveness of the drug has been questioned when it is used in younger age groups, which requires a more detailed study (it is not in vain that the footnote is worthy of the information that efficiency data are insufficient). Instructions are never static, constantly changing something, being removed and added.

Clear. Thank you. But when it was permissible under the instruction to use it in children from year to year, was it also confirmed clinically at the time of the action of that instruction? And now it turns out that ... new tests have failed? Or they showed themselves with a bad result? In general, if with the current instruction to give a 2-year-old child what are the consequences? It seems to me that the manufacturer had to comment on why the age bracket has changed so much. Thank you.

Svetlana0408, Comments manufacturer does not have to contribute.Studies are published in specialized literature for doctors, but sometimes it happens with a huge delay in time.

At different age groups or in pregnant women, safety, and even more so, effectiveness is checked in the majority in fact. At first, the maximum age limit is set, and then, in case of unintentional use of drugs in younger age groups or in the absence of alternative treatment, it is judged about the possibility of using it in children. Likewise, the age of acceptable intake of drugs can then be narrowed, if negative consequences are obtained from its use in a particular age group. Apparently, the whole problem in the Immunal for adults is available in the composition of alcohol, because a similar product without ethanol in the composition is acceptable for use in children over 1 year old.

Yes. Thank you so much. Now I finally found immunal plus C, I read the instruction, and there too, from the age of 12, although he is without alcohol. In general, they decided that children can not eat echinacea. But arbidol and cytovir and all the ferones and something else chemical, please?

Svetlana0408And do you think your child needs it? I would not even give a pheromone, echinacea, and other nonsense. The effectiveness of these drugs has not been proven by multicentre studies, those rare studies of these drugs that there is in the literature can generally be viewed as advertising and collusion with manufacturers. If a child has immunity defects, it is necessary to take an immunogram and seek the advice and appointment of a professional treatment to a specialist immunologist. And only immunity of the child is planted with any unproven chemistry.
