Interferon alfa-2 has antiviral, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects. Under the influence of Interferon alpha-2, the activity of natural killers, T-helpers, phagocytes, as well as the intensity of differentiation of B-lymphocytes, increases.

Tired and always want to sleep. Bejaki data after reception of Genferon in candles have begun.Maybe, of course, the disease gives such complications, but I do not have any more desire to take it.

Those who wrote in the complaint that in the side effects to the drug Genferon is a mistake, I want to advise once again to re-read the instructions, since all these side effects are indicated by the manufacturer himself. If, on a private admission, these effects were not present, then they are side effects, which occur only in a certain, fortunately, small percentage of cases.

Well helped candle Genferon in the treatment of genital herpes, a gynecologist appointed in conjunction with Valtrex, injections of Cycloferon and some other spray - forgot its name. As a result, such treatment quickly passed visible manifestations and for two years he does not bother me. During this time a wonderful daughter was born.

Yes, geneferon generally has no side effects. The reason is different.

Congratulations. I, too, have been helped by genferon, although I treated mycoplasma.

Agree with you.Some simply have an individual intolerance to the drug, and Genferon is very cool.

Excessive information noise here to anything. And yes, all your laudatory reviews are transferred to one post, henceforth this will be deleted.

Hello! As a doctor I will say that lack of appetite and a sense of fatigue is not associated with the use of the drug Genferon. This drug recently I used myself in connection with the flu. The disease was severe enough (with fever, chills, severe weakness, nausea, headache). By the end of the first day of treatment, the condition improved significantly, and by the fourth day I went to work. The drug I liked so much that I use it for children in ARVI (Genferon Light 125 thousand IU up to 7 years and 250 thousand IU over 7 years).Suppositories do not contain cocoa butter, are well tolerated by children, I see efficiency with my own eyes! And now, they say, there was Genferon Light Spray nasal, I would like to hear feedback about the drug.

At 36 weeks of pregnancy, I was cold and in the drugstore I was offered Genpheron nasal spray. this drug could be used for pregnant women. On the second day from a nose has ceased to flow, the infection has lowered in lungs. The cough was creepy, discharges started, the gynecologist did not let go of the consultation and was sent to a hospital with the threat of premature birth.In the maternity hospital continued to inject Genferon and issued such an obstruction ... scary to remember. Dokaklilis (!) And after 2 days the water flowed, the birth through cesarean.
Sin for droppers in the hospital, did not know what was dripping. A month after the birth, after the evening walk, she noticed that the cold starts and again reached for Genferon, she did two injections per day and again the same picture: dry cough to the pain in the abdomen, in the head, to breathe heavily, I sip. In a word, for me this "wonderful drug" is iron in one place. IN THE WELFARE, WITHOUT CONSENT !!! And how this muck can children be prescribed for ARVI? !! And then them on inhalers and nebulizers?

The second time, according to the doctor's prescription, we apply Genferon Light candles (250,000 IU twice a day). My daughter is 8 years old. And the second time the same pobochka: on the third day of admission, severe nasal bleeding, which is resumed several times a day (thrombocytopenia?!, Which supposedly occurs when the dose is exceeded ......). And also there is dryness in the throat, which provokes an incessant cough, especially at night. So, dear moms, think about it before you give the newfangled drugs to your child. I put this drug on the list of banned not only for the child, but for the whole family.

I have genital herpes. Have registered candles geneferon. 3 days - 2 times a day, then 10 days in the rectum once a day. So I do not understand, the first three days, too, or something in the rectum? When genital herpes probably must be intravaginal? And here the rectum?
Administrators

Angela, Genferon suppositories are for rectal and vaginal application, so you need to know from the doctor who prescribes this drug for you. Probably treatment complex, so I advise you definitely I will not do anything. Although it would be logical to appoint Genferon intravaginally in the genital herpes.

Can I have sex during a treatment in a condom?
Administrators

a guest, No you can not. First, the condom can tear, which is fraught with repeated infections and spread of the infection. Secondly, a woman can have a microtraumatic vagina during sexual intercourse, which will also negatively affect the treatment and delay recovery.

Put immediately was a bad month. Then I divided each candle into 4 parts I put then rectally, then vaginally so I live already half a year at diseases of a urethra and a candidiasis of urinary and disease of a uterus. Another cola polyoxidonium, only so it remained alive after prescribing medicines by doctors.

Features of the body must always be taken into account, someone can use one drug, someone else.

I would like to answer Elena about the hope to cure HPV with candles ... I was given a diagnosis in a paid clinic, prescribed drugs for one course of treatment, one thousand to seven. The course of treatment is three and is treated simultaneously with the spouse. Accordingly, the amount becomes very cheerful (((I called a relative in another city, he linked me to a doctor and then they explained to me all the subtleties of this treatment.) It is not curable, it just lives quietly in the body, it can be and disappear, and then it will appear again. In general, I did not medicate. I called the clinic, I asked for results of my analysis, I promised to drop it on the post office - I promised, I'm waiting for the second year. And the medicines are not sold in all pharmacies, only in the "elite".

And I do not agree with the fact that Genferon Light does not help. Then my mother wrote that it got worse, the doctor prescribed antibiotics. As far as I know, antibiotics do not treat viruses and they are not prescribed for colds.So, it was not a cold at all, but bronchitis or something else, and the conclusion - the candles did not help, because they were not used where necessary.

I would like to reply to Vera: If HPV is detected by the PCR method in the absence of manifestations on the cervix of the uterus, treatment can be avoided, it is enough to perform colposcopy of the cervix and a cytological smear. If there are manifestations on the cervix of the uterus, which are characteristic of HPV, it is advisable together with a gynecologist to discuss the treatment plan.

Sveta-72, judging by the written, I realized that you are a doctor. Tell me, is not it better to prevent than wait for manifestations?

With HPV, which treatment regimen is recommended best?
Visitors
Sveta-72
Zaika_89, It is necessary to understand what to treat. If there are manifestations of the virus on the cervix and it is found, and also there are changes in the cytology, then it is necessary. If only the PCR virus is detected, without manifestations and changes, observation is possible.
Administrators

Astra75If we talk about Genferon, then in the candles for the treatment of HPV it is prescribed. Dosage from 500 thousand to 1 million IU vaginally 2 times a day. One Genferon, of course, can not do it, you can add Isoprinosine or Groprinosin in tablets to the treatment regimen. And every case of the disease should be considered by the attending physician and after the diagnosis is made, a treatment for a particular patient should be prescribed.

Such a problem. Was at the gynecologist (I in general not frequent visitor of such doctors, because of lack of time and pavor), but here it was required. Begin to forgive, write with pain. The doctor said that acute cystitis and prescribed Genferon. I do not take medicine in principle, and I'm one of those people who think "will pass by itself", I hear about this drug for the first time, it was not mentioned on TV either in the newspaper about it, and people familiar with such problems did not encounter it, or simply did not want to talk. I can not count on a gynecologist. was at her for the first time and I will not say that I am satisfied with her "survey." There is no money to go to a private clinic.Tell me, do these candles work? And are there any other drugs?
If it is possible in human language, and not with medical clever words?)))))))))

bol`noi, From a cystitis to you the gynecologist has appointed or nominated only suppositories Genferon and more anything? Then it really is not exactly an adequate doctor. I would start with antibacterial drugs, the simplest ones - Furagina, Nitroxoline, Cystona. Or already stronger antibiotics has appointed or nominated - Tsefaleksin, Ofloksatsin. And since I decided to get rid of the patient. Look for an adequate doctor, try to contact a urologist at his place of residence, he also treats cystitis.

To me, Genferon in candles was prescribed by an oncologist after the conization of the cervix. At me HPV and after konizatsija process has not stopped - a leukoplakia at the given stage.
The intake plan is 1 IU 2 times a day for 2 weeks, then 500 ME daily for 3 months. Other than this, other drugs.
Probably already used to the drug. Either the power of desire to recover and have the opportunity to give birth more strongly - I do not feel any noticeable discomfort.
