    Product Description

    Zanamivir is an inhibitor of influenza neuraminidase.1 It inhibits neuraminidase activity in clinical isolates of influenza A subtypes H1N1 and H3N2 and influenza B (geometric mean IC50s = 0.73, 1.64, and 11.21 nM, respectively). Zanamivir inhibits replication of influenza A and B in isolated human respiratory epithelial cells (EC90s = <0.01 mg/L and 0.25-0.54 mg/L, respectively).2 It reduces lung viral titers in mice infected with influenza A or B when administered intranasally at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg. Formulations containing zanamivir have been used in the prevention and treatment of influenza infection.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
