Unifav Tablet 200 mg contains Favipiravir, an antiviral medication used for the treatment of certain viral infections. Favipiravir works by inhibiting the replication of RNA viruses, helping to reduce the viral load in the body and support recovery. It has been studied and used in managing infections caused by RNA viruses, including influenza and other emerging viral infections.

Favipiravir is particularly useful in the early stages of viral infection to help limit the severity and duration of illness. By interfering with viral RNA polymerase, it prevents the virus from multiplying, allowing the immune system to combat the infection more effectively. This medication is prescribed under medical supervision and should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for viral infections.

Mechanism of Action

Favipiravir is a prodrug that is converted in the body to its active form, favipiravir ribofuranosyl-5′-triphosphate.
