Aflubin - instructions for use. Aflubin drops, homeopathic antiviral drug, instructions for use for children
During seasonal illnesses, parents are faced with an acute question: how to protect their child from flu and colds. Pharmacy counters today are filled with all kinds of immunomodulatory drugs. One of the most effective and safest - homeopathic Aflubin. It contains only natural natural ingredients. Read about the features of taking the drug, its mechanism of action and release forms in this review.
Aflubin is a homeopathic remedy used for the prevention and treatment of influenza and ARVI.
General information and release forms
Aflubin is a homeopathic remedy produced by the manufacturer of the popular Bitner balm and the drug Pumpan - the Austrian pharmaceutical company Bittner Pharma. The medicine has been used in the treatment and prevention of influenza, acute respiratory infections and acute respiratory viral infections for more than 15 years. During this time, its action has been studied quite well.
Pediatricians note the safety of the drug - Aflubin can be used for children under one year of age.
But self-medication, especially when it comes to the youngest patients, is dangerous: in any case, consultation with a doctor is necessary.
The medicine is produced in different forms:
- drops Aflubin for oral administration, bottled in bottles of 20 or 50 ml, average price - 330 and 450 rubles;
- nasal spray Aflubin Naze (20 ml) to alleviate nasal cavity diseases, costs about 350 rubles;
- pills Aflubin - a pack of 24 pieces can be bought for 350-370 rubles.
The medicine can be given to babies up to one year old.
Pediatricians most often prescribe drops to children. The colorless or slightly yellowish liquid is easily swallowed even by very young children. The medicine in this form is easy to dose. It can be diluted in water or breast milk. The second option compensates for the specific slightly bitter taste. According to reviews, sediment often forms in the bottle. This phenomenon alarms parents, and questions arise about the effectiveness of further use of the drug. The thickening that appears does not affect the properties of the product in any way. This natural process, because Aflubin’s components are of natural origin.
Composition and action
The homeopathic medicine contains predominantly mineral and plant origin:
- aconite- relieves pain and relieves fever;
- step over- relieves pain in joints and muscles;
- gentian (root)- promotes faster removal of toxins and relieves fever;
- lactic acid- helps fight intoxication and has an antitussive effect;
- iron phosphate- relieves inflammation in diseases of the respiratory organs;
- ethanol - excipient added to drops.
The herbs used as components of Aflubin are themselves poisonous and can also cause an allergic response in the body. But the concentration of their extracts in the product is so small that there is no need to worry about the development adverse reactions not worth it. In fact, we are talking about a kind of information impact. The water used to dilute the ingredients contains a minimal amount of molecules of medicinal components. But the “memory” of them remains in the liquid, due to which the energy of the plant components is, as it were, accumulated. This allows the body’s self-regulation systems and mechanisms to restore the lost balance. This is how the manufacturer of Aflubin explains it high efficiency with almost absolute safety.
The drug has an immunostimulating and antiviral effect.
Ingredients included homeopathic remedy operate in two directions:
- strengthen immunity (both local and systemic);
- fight viruses (the medicine promotes the synthesis of interferon, a protein that prevents the penetration of the virus into the body’s cells and its reproduction).
The manufacturer states in the instructions the following: therapeutic effects drug:
- elimination of chills;
- normalization of temperature;
- relief;
- cure;
- relief of headaches;
- relieving symptoms of weakness;
- relief from joint and muscle pain;
- preventing the development of complications from influenza and ARVI;
- acceleration of recovery.
Concerning preventive action, then Aflubin strengthens the body's overall resistance, helping it effectively fight infections. That is why the instructions for use contain instructions that prescribe taking the medicine approximately 3-4 weeks before the expected outbreak of seasonal diseases.
The drops should be given to the child a month before the epidemic.
Indications
Aflubin is prescribed to a child by a pediatrician for:
- prevention, as well as treatment of respiratory diseases - influenza, ARVI, parainfluenza infection;
- acceleration of healing and bronchitis (both acute and chronic course), as well as viral pneumonia;
- relief of the condition rheumatic diseases inflammatory joints.
Homeopathic medicine - part complex therapy. This aid, which enhances the body's immune response and effectively prevents the spread of viruses.
When a drug is contraindicated and dangerous
Aflubin has practically no contraindications. Neither childhood, nor availability chronic diseases are not an obstacle to prescribing the medication. The only thing that can serve as a basis for refusing to use a product containing ethyl alcohol is heavy functional disorders liver and kidney function.
Concerning side effects, then the risk of their manifestation is minimal. The product is well tolerated by allergy sufferers, since the concentration of medicinal substances in it natural origin small Individual intolerance is extremely rare. Another effect that doesn’t often appear is increased salivation.
Children tolerate the medication well.
Directions for use and dosage
Parents usually have questions regarding the rules for taking the drug. In what dosage should it be given to children? Can the product be combined with other products? What are the features of taking the medicine? All these points are clarified by the instructions ().
The dosage depends on the patient’s age and the purpose of administration.(this can be treatment or prevention). The standards are described in detail in the instructions, but doctors often adjust the regimen for specific situations.
To alleviate the patient's condition and speed up recovery initial stage For colds or flu, the following dosages are used:
- babies up to one year - 1 drop per dose;
- children from one to 4 years old - 2-4 drops;
- children 5-12 years old - 5-9 drops;
- teenagers over 12 years old - 10 drops.
If the illness lasts for the third to seventh day, age standards remain the same, and the number of daily doses is reduced to three times.
For prevention purposes, Aflubin is taken in the following dosages:
- children under one year - 1 drop;
- patients from one year to 12 years - 2-9 drops;
- teenagers over 12 years old - 10 drops.
If we are talking about seasonal prevention of expected outbreaks of respiratory diseases, the drug is prescribed for a period of 3 weeks twice a day. When are they required? emergency measures after contact with the patient, the duration of treatment is 2-3 days (you should also take the medicine twice a day).
The product should be taken half an hour before meals or an hour after meals. For convenience, drops can be dissolved in water.
Analogs
On pharmaceutical market Aflubin has analogues. The remedy has the same mechanism of action. The medicine is available in tablets and costs less - about 160 rubles, as it is produced in Russia.
Drugs from the same price category as Aflubin, with approximately the same effect:
- Kagocel;
- Arbidol;
Aflubin's analogue is Arbidol.
- Anaferon.
They belong to the group antiviral agents, and are also mild immunomodulators (synthesize interferon).
Among them, only Anaferon belongs to homeopathic remedies (as well as Aflubin).
Medicines are interchangeable, but if Aflubin is allowed for infants, then, for example, Kagocel can be given to children only from 3 years of age (Anaferon - from 6 months, Arbidol - from a month).
All of the listed analogues have the same indications for use: prevention and assistance in the treatment of influenza, colds, ARVI. However, consult your pediatrician: these medications, unlike Aflubin, have contraindications. In addition, a child may experience allergic reactions from taking them.
Before use, you should consult a doctor.
In any case, at the first symptoms of flu and acute respiratory infections, consult a doctor, because it is not always possible to get by with only Aflubin or its analogues in treatment. The initiative of parents who have seen enough advertising is especially dangerous in relation to children under one year old - diseases in such children often develop rapidly, and an incorrect diagnosis here is a threat to life.

Thank you
Aflubin represents homeopathic medicine, intended for the treatment and prevention of colds, as well as respiratory viral infections, parainfluenza and influenza in children and adults. Aflubin is also used to treat inflammatory diseases joints and rheumatism, accompanied by pain.
Names, varieties, composition and release forms of Aflubin
Currently, two varieties of Aflubin are produced under the following names:1. Aflubin;
2. Aflubin-Naze.
Both of these types of drugs are usually combined into one common name"Aflubin", but to clarify which drug exactly we're talking about, usually indicate the form of release, for example, Aflubin tablets, Aflubin drops, Aflubin nasal spray etc. Aflubin and Aflubin-Naze are not identical to each other, but, on the contrary, are quite different, since they have completely different composition and indications for use.
Thus, Aflubin is intended for the treatment and prevention of colds, acute respiratory viral infections, influenza and parainfluenza, and Aflubin-Naze is intended for the treatment of a runny nose caused by any reason. Of course, such “specialization” of two varieties of the same drug makes them significantly different from each other.
However, in the further text of the article, in order to avoid confusion in the headings, we will use the same name “Aflubin” to refer to both types of the drug. And in the text itself we will indicate which variety we are talking about and separate out the various nuances of use into separate subsections.
The drug Aflubin-Naze is available in a single dosage form - nasal spray, and simply Aflubin - in two: tablets and drops for oral administration. For everyday designation of Aflubin drops, the names “Aflubin for children” or “Aflubin drops for children” are often used. This is due to the fact that despite the possibility of giving children both Aflubin tablets and drops, drops are traditionally considered the “children’s” form of the medicine. No specific terms or designations are used to designate Aflubin tablets. But Aflubin-Naze is often called simply “Aflubin nasal spray” or “Aflubin nasal drops”.
Aflubin tablets and drops contain the following substances as active ingredients:
- Yellow gentian (Gentiana);
- Aconite (Aconitum);
- Bryonia dioecious (Bryonia);
- Iron phosphate (Ferrum phosphoricum);
- Lactic acid (Acidum sarcolacticum).
Aflubin tablets contain lactose monohydrate, potato starch and magnesium stearate as auxiliary components. Aflubin drops contain a 43% alcohol solution as an excipient, in which the active ingredients are infused.
Aflubin-Naze nasal spray contains the following substances as active ingredients:
- Black mustard (Sinapis nigra);
- Euphorbia (Euphorbium);
- Meadow lumbago (Pulsatilla);
- Luffa;
- Mercury iodide (Mercurius bijodatus).
Aflubin - dosage
Since Aflubin and Aflubin-Naze are homeopathic medicines, the dosage of the active components in them is not indicated in the generally accepted chemical measures, and in specific ones for homeopathic pharmacology. Therefore, in the instructions for use of Aflubin, opposite each active component, two dosages are indicated - one homeopathic in the form of a Latin letter and number (D1, D6, D12), and the second chemical - in ml for drops and in mg for tablets. Such a system means that drops and tablets contain a specified amount of ml or mg of the active substance, but not in its entirety, but in a homeopathic dilution indicated Latin letter and number (D1, D6, D12).To understand how much active substances in question, you need to know the designations of homeopathic dilutions. Firstly, each homeopathic dilution is designated by the Latin letters D, C, M, LM, which indicate the dilution ratio:
- D – 10;
- C – 100;
- M – 1000;
- LM – 10000.
The second part of the homeopathic dilution indication is the number next to the Latin letter. This figure means how many times the active substance was diluted in the specified proportion. For example, the homeopathic designation D6 means that the active substance was diluted 10 times in six successive steps, resulting in its final concentration being 10 -6. This means that 1 ml of the active substance and 9 ml of water were placed in the first test tube, thus obtaining the first dilution, designated D1. Then, from this test tube, 1 ml of the active substance, already diluted 10 times, is taken again and mixed with 9 ml of water, obtaining a 100-fold dilution, which is designated D2, etc.
Regarding the dosages of the active components in Aflubin, it becomes clear that next to the names of the substances the homeopathic dilution in which they are included in the drug is indicated. And then the number of ml or mg of this particular dilution of the active substance, which is contained in 100 ml of drops or 1 tablet, is indicated.
Therapeutic effects
The therapeutic effects of Aflubin are provided active ingredients, included in its composition. Thus, Aflubin drops and tablets have the following effects:- Anti-inflammatory;
- Immunomodulatory;
- Antipyretic;
- Detoxification.
In addition, Aflubin is able to stop the exacerbation of chronic inflammatory and degenerative diseases joints due to its intense anti-inflammatory effect. In addition to suppressing inflammation, Aflubin relieves pain in joint diseases, as a result of which a person no longer needs to take analgesics.
Aflubin-Nase has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and immunostimulating effects. In addition, Aflubin-Nase helps restore normal microflora of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Due to these effects, the drug stops inflammatory process on the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx, eustachian tube And maxillary sinuses, thereby providing cure for rhinitis of any origin, including allergic. In addition, Aflubin-Naze can be used in complex therapy of eustachitis, pharyngitis and sinusitis, since it accelerates recovery and provides more full recovery normal structure of the mucous membranes, which prevents recurrent illnesses these pathologies.
The therapeutic effect of any homeopathic medicines, including Aflubin and Aflubin-Nase, is ensured by the so-called effects of ultra-low doses. During experimental studies and clinical trials It has been shown that various biologically active substances exert their effects on cells either in high or ultra-low concentrations. High concentrations are modern therapeutic dosages of various drugs (milligrams, micrograms). And ultra-low concentrations are considered to be 10 -15 – 10 -18 M, which are contained in homeopathic preparations. These concentrations are 12–15 times lower than therapeutic concentrations, that is, those contained in ordinary medicines. Concentrations of active substances that lie between high (modern therapeutic) and ultra-low concentrations do not have any effect on cells, that is, simply put, they are completely useless and ineffective.
This means that to achieve a therapeutic effect it is necessary to take medicinal substances either in high (therapeutic) or ultra-low dosages. Homeopathic medicines contain active substances in ultra-low dosages, which provide the necessary clinical effects. The specific mechanism of action of ultra-low doses of various biologically active substances, unfortunately, is currently unknown. However, the presence of a clinical effect from the use of active substances in ultra-low doses has already been proven both experimentally and clinically.
Indications for use of Aflubin
Since Aflubin and Aflubin-Nase are drugs with different compositions and therapeutic effects, we will consider the indications for their use separately. Indications for use of Aflubin tablets and drops the following:
- Planned or emergency prevention of influenza, parainfluenza, colds, acute respiratory infections and ARVI;

Aflubin - instructions for use
Aflubin drops (for children)
Drops should be taken 30 minutes before or an hour after meals. You can take the drops in the following two ways: 1. Open your mouth, throw your head back and lift your tongue towards upper teeth. Then take a bottle of Aflubin and drop the required number of drops directly under the tongue. Keep the drops in your mouth for 10–30 seconds and then swallow.
2. Pour 5 - 10 ml of water into a tablespoon or small container (for example, a glass, etc.), into which add the required number of drops of Aflubin. Take Aflubin drops dissolved in clean water into your mouth and hold them under your tongue, without swallowing, for 10 to 30 seconds. Then swallow the drug.
In the first days of using Aflubin, deterioration of the condition may occur, which is normal reaction in response to stimulation immune system homeopathic remedy. This condition goes away quickly on its own and is not dangerous.
Impact on the ability to operate machinery
Aflubin drops and tablets, as well as Aflubin-Naze spray, do not affect a person’s ability to control mechanisms, therefore, during the entire period of therapy with these drugs, you can engage in any type of activity.Interaction with other drugs
Aflubin does not interact with other drugs, and therefore can be used in combination with other drugs necessary for complex therapy.Overdose
An overdose of Aflubin was never recorded during the entire period of use of the drug.Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Aflubin during pregnancy in any dosage form is not prohibited, but also not permitted, and in official instructions It is indicated that the drug should be used with caution and as prescribed by a doctor. This state of affairs does not mean that Aflubin is harmful and dangerous for pregnant women, since these formulations are standard and reflect certain rules writing instructions for medications. Yes, any manufacturer medicine In order to write in the instructions for use that the drug is approved for use during pregnancy, it must conduct expensive clinical trials on volunteers. Moreover, the result of these tests should clearly indicate not only the safety of the drug, but also its effectiveness. For obvious ethical reasons, clinical trials involving pregnant women are not carried out, so the manufacturer cannot write the phrase “approved during pregnancy and breastfeeding” in the official instructions for the drug.
But if any drug, according to long-term data clinical observations turned out to be safe for pregnant women who used it accidentally or on purpose, it is considered conditionally approved for use during pregnancy. This conditional approval for the use of the drug during pregnancy is due to the fact that there is no clinical trial data, and the results of long-term observations are not considered the correct evidence base for the safety and effectiveness of drugs. In such cases, when, according to observational data, the drug is safe, but no special clinical trials have been conducted, the manufacturers write in the instructions for use that the drug should be used only as prescribed by a doctor. In fact, such a phrase is more legal than purely medical.
Since Aflubin is one of those drugs that, according to long-term observations, have proven to be safe, but specialized tests have not been conducted for them, it can be taken during pregnancy. However, it is recommended to choose tablets rather than drops as the latter contain alcohol.
The rules and duration of use, as well as the dosage of Aflubin during pregnancy are exactly the same as for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age.
Aflubin for children
Can Aflubin be used for children?
Many doctors who defend the position of the absolutely correct and useful concept of evidence-based medicine believe that Aflubin cannot and should not be given to children. Indeed, according to studies conducted according to the protocols evidence-based medicine, the effectiveness of Aflubin is low and comparable to that of placebo. From the point of view of formal logic, this is indeed true. However, our world is not simple and unambiguous, since there are always some numerous nuances that also sometimes make a very significant contribution to general conclusion or the result of some process or action. This is fully true for Aflubin.The fact is that Aflubin is not a drug for treatment; it only reduces the severity of symptoms and speeds up the recovery process from colds. And sometimes this is very important - because, for example, eliminating nasal congestion and headaches, especially before bed, can have a truly magical effect, allowing a person to get a good night's sleep. And in the case of a small child, the drug, reducing the severity of cold symptoms, eliminates his nervousness, moodiness, prolonged crying, etc., which can also be assessed as a very useful effect.
But it is very difficult to scientifically evaluate the effectiveness of symptomatic drugs, because the assessment of their effect is very subjective. And most pharmaceutical companies they simply will not conduct very expensive studies aimed at proving the effectiveness of symptomatic drugs. In this case they act according to simple principle– if it helps, then great, but if not, then try using another drug.
Therefore, a more rational position regarding Aflubin seems to be one that assumes the possibility of obtaining benefits from the drug. But if it turns out to be ineffective, then others should be used symptomatic drugs, reducing the severity of symptoms during colds. Based on this softer and more rational position, Aflubin can be given to children.
Some doctors and parents believe that Aflubin should not be given to children due to the presence of alcohol and “unclear” components. However, if you recalculate the amount of alcohol for children's dosages, you will get: in 10 drops - 0.2 ml, in 5 drops, respectively, 0.1 ml, and in 1 drop - 0.02 ml. This amount of alcohol is negligible, so any harmful influence Aflubin drops cannot be said to affect a child’s body. In addition, Aflubin tablets can also be given to children, so if the alcohol in the drops seems dangerous, they can be replaced with tablets.
One can argue about “incomprehensible” components for a very long time and without any success. The fact is that most of the components of Aflubin tablets and drops (except lactic acid) are medicinal plants. Moreover, their content in the preparations is very low, as a result negative impact on the body is excluded. Due to this circumstance, even if Aflubin turns out to be ineffective medicine, it won't do any harm. And therefore it can be used in children.
Use in children under one year of age
Aflubin can be given to children under one year of age in the form of tablets or drops. Since the drops contain ethyl alcohol, which has a very bad taste, it is better to give your child Aflubin tablets. To do this, the required number of tablets is dissolved in 5 - 10 ml (tablespoon) of mother's breast milk or artificial mixture for feeding and allow the baby to swallow. If, nevertheless, a decision is made to give the child Aflubin in drops, then they must also be pre-dissolved in milk or artificial formula.For colds, acute respiratory viral infections, acute respiratory infections, influenza and parainfluenza, it is recommended that infants be given Aflubin according to the following scheme:
- On days 1 and 2 from the onset of the disease – 2 drops or 1/2 tablet 4 times a day;
- From 3 to 10 days of illness – 1 drop or 1/2 tablet 3 times a day.
If any of the adults or children living with a child under 1 year of age is sick, then to prevent infection, they can be given Aflubin 1 drop or 1/2 tablet 2 times a day for 2 days.
Aflubin - instructions for children
For children over a year old Aflubin can be given in the form of tablets and drops. Moreover, the choice dosage form can be determined solely by convenience for parents. For example, if a child can dissolve a tablet under the tongue, then Aflubin can be used in this form. If for some reason the child does not want to take pills, then drops should be used. If the taste of the drops is very unpleasant for the child, then it is better to prefer tablets, etc.Both tablets and drops should be given to the baby 30 minutes before or 1 hour after meals. The tablet should be dissolved under the tongue until completely dissolved, and the drops should be kept in the mouth for 10 - 20 seconds before swallowing. Drops can be taken at pure form or dilute a little with water. To dilute, take a tablespoon of water and measure the required number of drops into it.
The dosage of Aflubin for a single dose for children aged 1–12 years for any disease is 5 drops or 1/2 tablet. For colds, flu, parainfluenza, acute respiratory infections and acute respiratory viral infections, in the first 1 - 2 days take Aflubin in the indicated dose 3 - 8 times a day, observing a minimum interval between two subsequent doses of 30 minutes. In the first 1 - 2 days of the disease, tablets or drops can be taken every 30 - 60 minutes, but no more than 8 times a day. Starting from the 2nd – 3rd day of illness, Aflubin should be taken only 3 times a day.
For planned prevention respiratory infections During periods of mass epidemic, Aflubin is recommended to be taken in the indicated dosages 2 times a day for 3 weeks. It is optimal to start taking Aflubin in the fall or before starting kindergarten.
For emergency prevention of illness in a child who has already been in contact with a sick person, it is necessary to give Aflubin in the indicated dosages 2 times a day for 2 days. Start off emergency prevention It is necessary within 24 hours from the moment of contact with a sick person.

In addition, Aflubin-Naze is additionally contraindicated for use in children under 12 years of age and in case of hyperthyroidism and intoxication and makes it much easier to tolerate colds, flu, acute respiratory infections or acute respiratory viral infections. In addition, many indicate that with the use of Aflubin, these diseases end in recovery much faster.
Negative reviews about Aflubin are almost always due to the lack of a noticeable or desired effect from its use. Many people in negative reviews indicate that the drug did not help them, but for friends or relatives it is effective.
