Gamma-D-glutamyl-tryptophan sodium is a dipeptide with an immunostimulating effect. It stimulates cellular and humoral immunity. Increases antibacterial and antiviral resistance. The pharmacological effect is determined by increased differentiation and proliferation of T-lymphocyte precursors, stimulation of IL-2 production, increased expression of IL-2 receptors and markers of T-cell differentiation, and restoration of the immunoregulatory index. Application of the drug Bestim® in the complex therapy of diseases accompanied by secondary immunodeficiency, it significantly increases its effectiveness. The drug is effective when included in the complex therapy of viral diseases accompanied by insufficiency of the cellular link of immunity.
The distribution of the drug in the body is limited to the extracellular water phase. The drug is quickly removed from the systemic circulation — the average time of its circulation is 10-11 minutes, the elimination rate is characterized by a high clearance-25-30 ml/kg / min. The drug is excreted from the body in the form of metabolites in the urine and feces.
