Abstract

The review deals with the analysis of the biochemical mechanisms of febrile syndrome in terms of modern ideas about its pathogenesis. It is noted that the classic antipyretics prescribed to children with febrile syndrome should not be used without medical supervision. As an alternative agent with higher safety profile, homeopathic preparation Viburcol in the form of rectal suppositories is considered. It is shown that all the components of Viburcol are well known and have long been used in children. In addition, due to a special production technology, all the active ingredients of Viburcol are presented at ultra-low doses, which, on the one hand, help to prevent depression of the natural immune system and induce its action, and on the other - to improve drug safety profile.
