In my experience, none of the drugs mentioned in this article can cure the influenza virus in a short time. And in general, you can count the real antiviral drugs recognized all over the world on one hand, and we have dozens of them!
Irina Mar 3, 2020 at 23:18
I can’t say about all antiviral drugs, they took amixin. But if all of the above are analogues of amiksin, then the conclusion is clear - nonsense, and expensive. My husband and I took Amiksin in the hope of not getting sick, or at least suffering from a mild infection of the virus, if we really can’t avoid getting sick at all. But they caught the virus and were sick as usual; it didn’t get any better after prophylaxis with amixin. We won’t experiment anymore; I don’t believe in the effect of either amiksin or the like.

Ti lo ron! Not tyrolon, literate people. After this, how can I trust your article???

Ti-lo-ron. Fix it!

I fell ill with ARVI, everything was as usual, runny nose, cough, I drank according to the standard - bronchicum, aspirin, vitamins seemed to have gone away. I immediately got sick again, so I decided to try Amiksin just to be sure. I took 1 tablet after a meal, and in the morning I woke up with a huge (swollen) head, pain, and high blood pressure. I have never had an allergy in my life and my blood pressure has always been normal. I’m sitting and wondering whether to take the second pill or throw it away?

After the second pill it will become easier, and after the third it will be quite good!)

Amiksin really helped! Tablets are excellent! I recommend.
Alexey November 17, 2020 at 17:50
Helped me not to get sick when a child brought the virus from kindergarten. My wife got sick and took her favorite Ergoferon. He doesn’t believe that there is no active ingredient in a homeopathic remedy. And every year for the same rake. I drank Amiksin once a week and didn’t get sick. It's a pity that the children's uniform is from 7 years old. I would give it to a child.
Roman Nov 30, 2020 at 19:59
I take Amiksin when I have colds. Helps. It somehow goes faster and easier.
Svetlana Dec 27, 2020 at 13:41
Gentlemen, as for it doesn’t help, I can say that it helps me personally, but we are all different and we all have different immunity and different diseases, THERE IS NO UNIVERSAL TREATMENT FOR EVERYONE AND FOR EVERYTHING! !!! Let me rephrase an old saying a little: What is good for one is death for another.
Mila Mar 3, 2020 at 23:28
When you read about this very tiloron, which is part of amiksin, it becomes clear why they abandoned it abroad, it is very toxic. After the side effects I had, I would have excluded it, let alone children, from the list of medicinal products altogether. I don’t know for what merit they put such a price on him, can this poison tiloron really cost that much? Or the manufacturer is trying to hit the big jackpot before amiksin is banned.
nata Aug 31, 2020 at 21:16
This drug of yours, amiksin, is terrible!!! acne and pressure!!!!!!
Alexander Dec 8, 2020 at 11:48
Side effects are side effects that not everyone experiences. Due to the high cost of Amiksin, it was replaced with a similar medicine - called Tiloram. The pharmacy recommended it. It costs less, and I liked the effect of the drug. I took it according to the instructions from the first signs of the disease and the very next day there was no fever, and by the fourth day I was completely cured. Apparently everything is individual.
Julia Jan 25, 2020 at 1:18 pm
High-quality product, I really like it. It is important to drink it as soon as possible after the onset of the illness and you don’t have to cancel your plans for the week, since for me the effect is known in advance. I definitely recommend it.
Lina Jan 29, 2020 at 1:33
The medicine is strong and quickly puts you on your feet - I tested it on myself. I don’t take it often, sometimes I give myself the opportunity to get sick, but if there are some urgent matters, it helps out every time.
Sashulya Feb 11, 2020 at 17:50
The doctor prescribed two medications for me: Oscilococcinum and Amiksin. But somehow I don’t trust homeopathy, so I only bought Amiksin. The medicine is the strongest, any signs of ARVI and influenza disappear immediately after starting to take it. Sometimes I don’t even finish the whole course, although this is wrong. I really like the drug.

At one time I was very often sick with the flu, so I seriously began searching for the optimal antiviral drug. It turned out that there were simply an incredible number of them... Amiksin is a rather heavy drug for me. Even after contacting a specialist, I could not get a clear answer. Based on personal experience, I came to the choice of the drug Tiloram; a pharmacist I knew eventually recommended it to me. Optimal price, easy to use (one tablet a day!), you can feel the effect. Thanks to him, I haven’t had the flu for a long time. So Tiloram is my choice.

Amiksin or Arbidol - which is better and more effective

Manufacturer: OTISIFARM (Russia)
Release form: tablets, capsules

Active ingredient: umifenovir

Both medications are included in the pharmacological group of antiviral drugs and are used for the prevention and treatment of influenza and ARVI.

Arbidol is considered more of an antiviral drug, and Amiksin is also an immunostimulant, that is, the medicine has a complex effect.

The drugs differ slightly in indications. In addition to the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections, influenza, and colds, the analogue copes well with rotavirus infection. Therefore, in the presence of such a pathology, this medication is better suited for an adult patient with an intestinal infection caused by rotavirus.

Amiksin will have an advantage in the treatment of acute and chronic forms of hepatitis A, B, C. For these diseases, the effectiveness of the drug is confirmed by reviews of doctors who have used Amiksin in medical practice.

Amiksin or Lavomax – which is better?

Manufacturer: NIZHFARM (Russia)
Release form: tablets

Active ingredient: tilorone

Lavomax is a drug that is an analogue of Amiksin in terms of the active substance. Both medications have an equivalent mechanism of action and are actively used in the practical treatment of influenza, ARVI, and colds. If treatment or prevention is carried out for children, then Amiksin, which is approved from the age of 7, will take advantage.

Lavomax is indicated only for adults over 18 years of age. Both drugs cope well with viral pathology, but the basic medicine has a wider range of applications, including pulmonary tuberculosis. Therefore, the effectiveness of this drug is higher.

When is a drug contraindicated for coronavirus?

The medicine has contraindications indicated in the instructions for use. They should be taken into account when prescribing treatment for coronavirus or other pathologies. The following conditions are identified when the drug is prohibited from use:

pregnancy and breastfeeding;
children under 7 years old;
individual intolerance to the main or auxiliary components.

Coronavirus infection can occur in pregnant or lactating women and young children. If infection of these categories of patients occurs, taking Amiksin is strictly prohibited. Otherwise, there may be a negative effect on the fetus, newborn, or small child. This will worsen the condition of the respiratory tract, digestive and urinary systems. Data were identified during clinical trials and studies.

When selecting treatment for patients with coronavirus, you need to be careful; any deterioration in well-being while taking medications will cause an increase in the disease.

The medicine is allowed to be used with other drugs. With coronavirus, a bacterial infection often develops, for example, sore throat, pneumonia, bronchitis, exacerbation of pyelonephritis. Therefore, it is used together with antibiotics. An antimicrobial drug is selected to which the patient does not have an individual intolerance. You can first do a bacteriological culture to determine sensitivity.
