Groprinosin should not be used to prevent upper respiratory tract infections. Indications for the use of the drug are: - supportive treatment in immunocompromised people, in case of recurrent upper respiratory tract infections , - in the treatment of herpes simplex of the lips and facial skin caused by the herpes simplex virus. The drug works mainly on herpes labial, it has no protective effect against SARS-CoV-2 or influenza. However, a whole range of agents are available in the pharmacy, the use of which can increase immunity and minimize the risk of seasonal infection. Without a prescription, m.in drugs and supplements with vitamin D3 are available, which supports immunity and maintaining proper calcium and phosphate metabolism of the body. I enclose links to websites where you can check the prices of vitamin D3 in online pharmacies and order a preparation with home delivery or collection at a pharmacy: drug: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/105739/vigalex-forte-tabletki/apteki supplement: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/83622/vitrum-d3-forte-kapsulki/apteki drug in drops: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/82436/vigantol-krople/apteki For prophylactic purposes, the use of fish oil can also be considered, e.g. medicine: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87958/tran-hasco-kapsulki/apteki supplement: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/11686/biomarine-1140-kapsulki/apteki For some patients, herb-based remedies, e.g. echinacea m.in, may also be indicated. drug: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27571/esberitox-n-tabletki/apteki oral liquid: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/75280/succus-echinaceae-phytopharm-nalewka-z-ziela-jezowki-purpurowej-plyn/apteki You should be aware that The basis for protection against coronavirus or flu are preventive vaccinations.
