Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hello, all -- I'm looking for info about Immunovir. Per Dr. G, we will be starting a two-month trial with our " low-NK " kiddo next week. For those who have experience with it: My understanding is that it's a pharmaceutical suppliment, not a " drug " per se. What form (tablet, liquid, capsule) does it come in and how do you administer it? How many times per day? How long does die-off last? Any obvious behavior/cognitive changes once die-off has subsided? And any recommendations to make him more comfortable during die-off? Any and all info welcomed! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hi, My son has been on Imunovir for just 2 weeks. It comes in a tablet form that is given by mouth. We are instructed to give it 5x/day (that is right, I said FIVE) and then 2x/day on the weekend. We have not seen anything positive or negative as of yet. FYI---it is very expensive ( Immunovir Hello, all -- I'm looking for info about Immunovir. Per Dr. G, we will be starting a two-month trial with our " low-NK " kiddo next week.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I am also interested for my son who is 10 yo, but have no idea how to purchase it. We are currently in Australia - is it safe to purchase Immunovir online ? How do we know it is not tainted ? Thank you for any info. A.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hi All : Is Innmunovir the same as ISOPRINOSINE? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 The drug name on the box from Rivex Pharm in Canada is Inosine pranobex. According to their web site other trade names are " Imunovir™ is also known in different parts of the world as Isoprinosine®, Viruxan®, Prinosine® and Virimun®. It is approved for a variety of viral infections resulting from depression of the immune system. A partial list includes Aolpecia areata, CMV, EBV, Hepatitis acute and non-chirrotic chronic active B, Influenza, Measles Mumps, Viral conjunctivitis and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). A study published in the 11th volume of the Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome™, entitled " Clinical Improvement in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Is Associated With Enhanced Natural Killer Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity: The Results of a Pilot Study with Isoprinosine® " . However, its use in this indication is still considered investigational. Imunovir™ is approved for the treatment of SSPE in Canada.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 The active ingredient is isoprinosine and is generally the only ingredient other than some kind of cellulose. It is not an essential nutrient. It is a precursor to adenosine.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Our daughter has been on it for about 1 and 1/2 months and we haven't noticed a big difference. We just had blood work done so we don't know the results. How is she now? Is she still miserable? What was her blood work like? From: carrieps@... Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:51:28 -0700 Subject: Immunovir Our daughter has been on Immunovir for 2 months. After a 3 or 4 weeks on it, she had a couple weeks of being really miserable, whining and crying a lot, much less enjoyment of activities. We brought her to a doctor but she had no symptoms and they found nothing in numerous blood tests. Has anyone seen this with your child. We are wondering if this could be related to the immunovir? _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.
