Igor Vladimirovich Shubin, Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation, general physician and pulmonologist of the highest qualification category, Deputy Chief Doctor for Treatment of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Candidate of Medicine and member of the Russian Respiratory Society and the European Society, reported on the need to consider a high probability of complications associated with these diseases when choosing a treatment method. Therefore, when diagnosing influenza, the first thing to do is to focus on preventing the development of any complications.

Mr. Shubin emphasized the importance of timely treatment and underlined that any prescription of medicines should be based on the specific situation and the patient's condition.
