Tác dụng
Description:
Mechanism of Action: Interferon alfa-2a has antiviral, antitumour and immunomodulatory activity. It inhibits replication of a wide range of RNA and DNA viruses. It also exerts antiproliferative effects on normal and malignant cells. Interferon alfa-2a suppresses antibody formation through an effect on B-lymphocytes and inhibits onset of delayed hypersensitivity.
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption: >80% is absorbed (IM); peak plasma concentrations within 4-8 hr (IM).
Excretion: Via urine (negligible amounts); 3.7-8.5 hr (elimination half-life).
