Medicine information
Uses & overview
Pidotimod is an immunomodulatory medicine that helps regulate immune system activity and support the body's natural defense mechanisms. It is used as an adjunct to conventional treatment for selected respiratory tract infections, including certain recurrent infections, depending on the patient's condition and the healthcare professional's recommendation. Pidotimod is not an antibiotic and should not be used as a replacement for antibiotics when these are medically necessary. The medicine works by influencing components of the immune response, including the activity of certain immune cells. Its purpose is to support immune function as part of an appropriate treatment plan rather than directly kill bacteria or viruses. The effectiveness and suitability of Pidotimod depend on the patient's age, medical history, symptoms, and prescribed formulation.
