    Product Description

    Isoprinosine is a complex of acetaminobenzoic acid, dimethylaminoisopropanol, and inosine in a 3:3:1 ratio. It has a number of immunomodulatory effects, including inducing T-lymphocyte differentiation, augmenting macrophage and NK cell functions, and stimulating IL-2 production.1,2,3 Through these effects and others, isoprinosine shows antiviral activity and has applications against subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.3,4 It also restores depressed immune responses in cancer patients after irradiation and reduces the incidence of infection in leukemia patients undergoing chemotherapy.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
