[Use of interferon inducers and reaferon in the combined therapy of acute viral hepatitis B].

The therapeutic effectiveness of interferon inducers (prodigiozan and ibuprofen), the Soviet drug reaferon and their combined use in acute viral hepatitis type B was studied. Indications for their use resulted from lowered capacity of the body for interferonogenesis at the height of the disease. The above drugs stimulated cellular immunity, promoted more rapid disappearance of clinical symptoms of disease, and reduced the period of hospital treatment. A more marked therapeutic effect was noted in combined administration of reaferon and ibuprofen.
