How do you characterize the responses of "Genferon" and its effect?

Every person, before making another purchase, chooses what exactly he needs. Pharmaceuticals were not an exception. That is why, before stopping at a particular drug, many of the consumers carefully study other people's opinions. "Genferon" is a medicinal product to which this article is devoted. It is an antiviral immunomodulatory drug used in complex therapy for the treatment of inflammatory-infectious diseases of the urogenital tract.

In order to understand how this drug works, it is worth studying the instructions and reviews. "Genferon" contains in its composition interferon alpha-2, which directly antimicrobial, antiviral and immunomodulating effects on the body. Under the influence of interferon in the body increases the activity of T-helpers, natural killers, phagocytes, and also increases the intensity of differentiation of B-lymphocytes. All layers of the mucous membrane have leukocytes, the activation of which ensures their participation in the elimination of pathological primary lesions, and also helps to restore the production of secret immunoglobulin A. In addition, interferon alpha-2 is an inhibitor of transcription and replication of chlamydia and viruses.

As the reviews indicate, "Genferon" is used vaginally or rectally. This ensures the rapid absorption of alpha-2 through the mucous membranes and the further delivery of the drug to the surrounding tissues and lymphatic system, thereby ensuring the systemic action of the drug. However, interferon has a local effect due to partial fixation on the cells of the mucosa. It is necessary to say that after 12 hours the serum interferon reduces its level, and therefore its repeated administration is required.

Another active ingredient that is a part of the drug "Genferon" is taurine. It has reparative, regenerative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hepato- and membrane-protective properties.

Anestezin is a component of the drug "Genferon", which manifests itself as a local anesthetic. It reduces the permeability of the cell membrane for sodium ions , and displaces potassium ions from receptors that are located on the inner side of the membrane. Anestezine also blocks the conduction of nerve impulses.

The manufacturer, on whose website many patients leave feedback, characterizes Genferon as a drug that prevents the appearance of pain impulses in the endings of the sensory nerves and their spreading along nerve fibers.

This pharmaceutical is used to treat many diseases:

• Ureaplasmosis;

• Chlamydia;

• Gardnerellez;

• genital herpes;

• Trichomoniasis;

• Mycoplasmosis;

• Infections caused by the papilloma virus;

• Vaginal recurrent candidiasis;

• Adnexitis;

• Ectropion and cervical erosion;

• urethritis;

• Cervicitis;

• prostatitis;

• Vulvovaginitis;

• Balanitis;

• Bartholinite;

• Balanoposthitis;

The drug is produced almost the same for babies, but it is called "Genferon" for children. Parents' comments indicate that the use of such candles is acceptable in the treatment of viral infections in a child.

But more often for small patients, doctors prescribe the drug "Genferon light". Reviews of parents and pharmacists indicate that this drug is more suitable for babies than the usual "Genferon", because of the lower content of interferon in it.

Despite the fact that the reviews of "Genferon" is very positive, it still needs to be taken with caution. Among the side effects most common are allergic reactions, which disappear almost immediately after discontinuation of the drug.
