Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The active ingredient of the product is the synthetic peptide Allostatin 1, which provides optimal care for the sensitive skin of the face, lips and body. Allostatins are innovative synthetic peptides based on natural alloferons, substances isolated from the immune system of insects. These substances have an antiviral effect due to the activation of cytotoxic cells of the human immune system, enhancing the detection of cells modified by the virus, which helps to start the process of elimination of the latter. At the same time, Allomedin gel does not have a negative effect on healthy cells and stimulates further regeneration of the epithelium after the source of infection is eliminated. Promotes the normal functioning of the skin, restores its elasticity and maintains its natural appearance.
The first symptoms of herpes, such as itching, burning, redness and swelling, when applied immediately after their onset, disappear after a few hours, thus preventing the further appearance of herpes rash. If the period of development of the first symptoms of the lesion is missed, complete recovery can be achieved 3–6 days after the start of using the drug. Allomedin is also able to eliminate the external manifestations of human papillomavirus infection and counteract the development of repeated manifestations of this disease.
The hydrogel, absorbing quickly, does not leave marks on the skin surface, so it can be used in combination with basic care. There are no contraindications to the use of decorative cosmetics along with the use of the product.
Indications for use
Allomedin gel is recommended for the care of sensitive skin of lips, face and body when the first symptoms of herpes and other viral infections appear, leading to inflammatory processes and neoplasms of epithelial tissues.
Contraindications
Allomedin is contraindicated for use in the presence of hypersensitivity to any of its components.
Allomedin, instructions for use: method and dosage
The product is recommended to be applied in a thin layer to areas of the skin of the lips, face and body, which are particularly sensitive to external influences (dehydration, sun exposure, hypothermia, irritation).
In order to restore and maintain a functional state, damaged skin areas should be treated 2-3 times a day or as needed. The duration of use of Allomedin determines the nature of the skin lesions. Against the background of small herpetic eruptions on the face and lips, the gel is recommended to be used for 1-2 days, with the development of an extensive rash - 5-7 days. The application of the product, if necessary, can also be continued on the following days until the normal condition of the skin is fully restored.
When a papillomavirus infection occurs, Allomedin is used 2 times a day, applied to papillomatous foci for 3 weeks. The duration of the use of the gel is established by the attending physician, in this case, in order to confirm the elimination of the virus from the neoplasm, laboratory diagnostics - polymerase chain reaction (PCR) - is required.

Reviews about Allomedin
There are a lot of reviews about Allomedin on medical sites and they are quite contradictory. Many patients consider the drug to be an effective remedy for treating herpes symptoms, especially at an early stage of their manifestation. The drug quickly relieves itching, burning and swelling, sometimes even preventing the appearance of blistering rashes on the skin. Some patients recommend using a cosmetic product for lip care, especially in the off-season, regularly for any discomfort, even if the lips are just chapped, because in this case, the integrity of the skin may be compromised and the risk of symptoms of herpes or other infection may be aggravated.
However, there are also negative reviews about the drug, which indicate the ineffectiveness of its use in the treatment of herpes, as well as human papillomavirus infection. According to many patients, the disadvantage of the product is its high cost, small package volume and the need for storage in the refrigerator. There are no complaints about the development of adverse reactions.
