Abstract

Antiviral efficacy of Ingavirin was studied on albino mice infected intranasally by the grippe A virus (H3N2) vs. Tamiflu, Remantadin and Arbidol. Ingavirin used prophylactically in doses of 5 to 10 mg/kg was shown to be effective in protecting the animals from death and inhibiting the specific hemagglutinin formation and the virus reproduction in the lungs (by the accumulation).
