The dose and frequency of taking the tablets are determined by the doctor. Luivac is used orally in situations of re-emission of respiratory tract infection. How does Luivac work?
Luivac and its operation
Luivac consists of bacterial lysate (Bacterial lysate). As a result, Luivac stimulates the immune system of the mucous membranes. As a result, it increases the resistance of all mucous membranes in the patient’s body, stimulating the defense mechanisms all the time. Luivac increases the number of IgA-producing cells in Peyer’s patches and in the secretions of the mucous membranes, lungs and serum. Luivac also increases phagocytic activity, stimulates the activity of thymus-dependent lymphocytes (T-helper cells), and stimulates the production of cytokines (gramma inferon, interlukin-2, interlukin-5 and interlukin-6). Above all, however, Luivac reduces the development of pulmonary inflammation by reducing PMN elastase concentrations.
