Re: Over the counter subsitute for Imunovir

As there isn't any evidence from good quality clinical trials regarding safety and benefits of Imunovir in ME/CFS, and NICE do not recommend the use of immunoglogical treatments, this is not a treatment that is going to be prescribed on the NHS.

Speaking as a doc with personal experience of ME/CFS, I tried this drug several years ago - with no obvious benefit

However, I know from a considerable number of anecdotal reports that some people have found it helpful

Regarding your query about purchasing inosine over the internet - It's not a question I've been asked before so I don't have an immediate answer. I will investigate and come back to you on this
