Update on the Antiviral Isoprinosine (Immunovir)

by Jacob Teitelbaum MD

Dear Readers,

New research is suggesting that the prescription antiviral Immunovir (Isoprinosine) may be very helpful in treating viral infections in CFS. Though prescription, it is not approved in the U.S., so it isn't covered by insurance. Physicians in the U.S. (and elsewhere) can order it from Canada or Ireland. It is safe and well tolerated, and compared to other antivirals, relatively reasonably priced at about $100 per month. Though not needed for everyone with CFS, it offers another helpful treatment tool for the 15% who don't adequately improve with the SHINE Protocol, or for those with chronic symptoms suggesting a long term viral infection.

For more information on this helpful medication, how to dose it, and how your physician can order it, I invite you to read our guest article by Alina Garcia MD, an excellent CFS & fibromyalgia specialist who works at the Las Vegas Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Center.

I believe Dr Meirleir, in one of his lectures, claims that
inosine supplement works with same relative effectiveness as isoprinosine, but at much lower cost.
