Pharmacological action
Pharmacodynamics
Imihimod belongs to the class of imidazocumolinamines. Imichimod is an immune system inducer, has no direct antiviral activity, but is effective against viral infections and acts as an antitumor agent, mainly activating the cells of the immune system through toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7).
Under the influence of an imichimod, Langerhans cells are activated, NK cells (natural killer cells), B cells. The main result of activation of cells with an imichimod is an increase in the production of a number of cytokines: interferon-alpha (IFN-β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-β). Cytokines, in turn, stimulate the immune response and antiviral activity.
In addition, imichimod is able to exhibit a cytostatic (antiproliferative) effect. By stimulating the expression of an opioid growth factor receptor (OGFR), imichimod stops the growth of malignant cells.
Pharmacokinetics
When applied topically, less than 0.9% of the isotope-labeled imichimod is absorbed through the skin. A small amount of the drug, which was absorbed into the circulatory system, without delay was quickly excreted through the urinary system and intestines on average in a ratio of 3: 1. The systemic effect (percutaneous penetration) was calculated by the reduction of carbon-14 [14C] from imichimod in urine and feces.
The peak concentration of the active substance in serum by the end of the 16th week was between 9 and 12 hours and was 0.1, 0.2 and 1.6 ng / ml when applied to the skin of the face (12.5 mg, 1 single-use packet) , head (25 mg, 2 sachets) and hands (75 mg, 6 sachets), respectively. When applied to the skin, the half-life is about 20 hours. Excretion in urine was less than 0.6% of the dose that was applied at 16 weeks.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug Keravort.
Children under 18 years old.
Pregnancy and lactation.
Use during pregnancy and lactation
No studies have been conducted.
Special instructions
It is not recommended to use the cream in the eyes, mouth, nose and ears, as well as at the same time as an airtight dressing.
Keravort Cream should be used with caution in patients undergoing organ transplantation and in patients with reduced immunity, since a worsening of the existing condition or the development of a graft rejection reaction is possible.
In case of actinic keratosis, it is recommended to avoid the effects of natural or artificial ultraviolet radiation on the eyes, lips, nostrils.
When treating basal cell carcinoma, the cream should be applied no closer less than 1 cm from the border of hair growth, the edge of the eyes, auricles, mouth or nose. The cream is not intended for the treatment of internal - genital, urethral, ​​intravaginal, rectal or intraanal warts.
Keravort Cream may weaken the effect of condoms or vaginal diaphragms.
Keravort Cream should be washed off the skin before intercourse.
Apply the cream with caution in anticipation of the vagina - the development of local skin reactions on the surface of the mucosa can cause difficulty urinating.
Keravort Cream Therapy is not recommended unless the skin has healed after a previously used drug or surgical treatment. Use on damaged skin may result in increased absorption of Keravort Cream, which may cause a greater risk of adverse reactions.
Keraworth Cream may exacerbate inflammatory skin reactions.
In rare cases, a local acute inflammatory reaction may occur, including weeping or erosion, even after several applications of Keravort cream. Local acute inflammatory reactions may be accompanied, or even preceded by systemic signs and symptoms resembling influenza, including malaise, fever, nausea, muscle pain and chills. In this case, it is recommended to take a break in treatment for several days.
During treatment, care should be taken when driving vehicles or working with other mechanisms, as well as when performing work that requires increased attention, due to the possible appearance of weakness and dizziness.
