Abstract

The relevance of the use of immunostimulants in the complex treatment of acute and recurrent respiratory infections is beyond doubt. At the same time, a number of factors: unexplored mechanism of action, lack of evidence of efficacy, unexplored safety - inhibit the widespread use of many immunostimulants. In contrast to bacterial lysates, in particular the drug OM-85 (Broncho-Munal®), on the contrary, there are reliable data on good efficacy against both acute and recurrent respiratory infections, evidence of safety and scientific information on the mechanism of action.
