Introducing Viralex®
Viralex® (Inosine Pranobex) is an immunomodulatory agent with broad-spectrum antiviral properties. It enhances both innate & adaptive immunity and strengthens the body’s defence response to viral infections. It has been proven to positively impact the host’s immune system, by enhancing T-cell lymphocyte proliferation and activity of natural killer cells, increasing levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and thereby restoring deficient responses in immunosuppressed patients.
At the same time, it has been shown that it can affect viral RNA levels and hence inhibit growth of several viruses. Due to its immunomodulatory and antiviral properties, and its safety profile, it has been widely used from last 50 years against various viral infections in more than 70 countries including the UK. Japan, Canada and many European countries.

Experts Speak
Dr Raja Dhar
Director and Head of Department of Pulmonology, C K Birla Hospitals,
“Inosine Pranobex is a drug which enhances host immunity (immunomodulatory effect) & can affect viral RNA and hence inhibits growth of several viruses. Phase 3 Double blind RCTs are rare in COVID 19. I am heartened to hear that Themis Medicare has come up with such a trial, which shows early clinical response and shortened period of recovery when used in mild to moderate COVID 19 cases. This drug, if successfully used in clinical practice would considerably reduce the burden on health care system."
