Epigen intim is an antiviral medication for local and external use.

Pharmacological action of Epigen

The active component of Epigen has a complex effect: antipruritic, antiviral, immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory and regenerating.

The mechanism of action of the active component (activated glycyrrhizic acid), obtained from licorice root, is to interrupt the replication of viruses in the early stages, which prevents them from entering cells.

Release form

Epigen is released in the form of a light yellow 0.1% spray for external and local use, 1 ml of which contains 1 mg of the active ingredient (activated glycyrrhizic acid) and auxiliary substances: maleic, ascorbic, folic and fumaric acids, propylene glycol, tween and water peeled.

In plastic bottles with a spray of 60 ml. For intravaginal use, a spray nozzle is included.

Epigen's analogs

Epigen's analogs for the active ingredient are Glycyram, Glycyrrhizic acid and Epigen labial. These Epigen analogs have various dosage forms (tablets, granules for solution preparation) and are used as antiviral medications for oral administration.

Indications for the use of Epigen

According to the instructions, Epigen intim is prescribed for treatment:

• Human papillomavirus infections, including asymptomatic isolation of human papillomavirus of high oncogenic risk;
• Infections caused by the Herpes simplex virus (type 1 and 2) and Varicella zoster.

Epigen intima is also prescribed for prevention:

• Genital warts and cervical pathologies caused by Herpes simplex viruses (types 1 and 2), human papillomas and cytomegalovirus;
• Recurrence of infections caused by the viruses Varicella zoster, Herpes simplex (type 1 and 2), human papilloma and cytomegalovirus;
• Conditions associated with a decrease in local immunity against the background of vulvovaginal candidiasis, nonspecific colpitis and bacterial vaginosis.

In addition, Epigen, according to the instructions, is used as part of a combination and complex therapy in the treatment of cytomegalovirus infection, as well as for discomfort in the genital area, which is accompanied by burning, itching and dryness of the mucous membranes.

Contraindications

Contraindication to the use of Epigen intim is hypersensitivity to the components that make up the medication.

How to use Epigen spray

When applied externally, Epigen spray is sprayed from a distance of 4-5 cm onto the affected surface. The optimal therapeutic dose is one or two depressions of the spray valve. For intravaginal use of the spray, you must use the specially supplied nozzle. For men, in addition to external application, Epigen intima should be injected into the external opening of the urethra.

The drug treatment regimen depends on the disease.

In the treatment of skin infections caused by the human papillomavirus, the spray is used 3 times a day until genital warts are removed during the entire period of etiotropic therapy. Against the background of destruction, the frequency of use should be increased up to five times a day. The duration of treatment is at least ten days, however, therapy can be continued until complete healing. To avoid the development of relapses, Epigen spray, according to reviews, is effectively applied three times a day for a month.

The medication is also used to prevent the progression of an infection that is caused by the human papillomavirus. In this case, Epigen spray is recommended to be used before and after intercourse, as well as against the background of such provoking factors as:

• Overwork;
• Stress;
• Microflora disorders;
• Respiratory viral infections;
• Taking certain medications, namely cytostatics and antibiotics.

During the entire period of action of provoking factors, Epigen intim is used three times a day (externally and intravaginally).

When treating infections caused by Herpes simplex viruses (type 1 and 2) or Varicella zoster, Epigen spray should be applied to the lesion up to six times a day for five days. However, the duration of treatment can be increased with a persistent course of the disease until the symptoms disappear completely.

In the treatment of genital herpes and cytomegalovirus infection, Epigen, according to the instructions, is used externally and intravaginally up to five times a day for two weeks. After stopping the recurrence, Epigen, according to reviews, is effectively used for 10 days three times a day. For the prevention of recurrence of the development of the disease, the spray is recommended to be used from the 20th day of the menstrual cycle until the end of menstruation in the morning and evening.

In the treatment of nonspecific vulvovaginitis, bacterial vaginosis and vulvovaginal candidiasis, Epigen should be used intravaginally 3-4 times a day for 7-10 days. The course of treatment with medication, if necessary, can be repeated after ten days. For the duration of the action of provoking factors, the spray should be applied externally and intravaginally.

As a preventive antiviral medication, Epigen is recommended to be used before and after intercourse.

For discomfort in the genital area, which manifests itself as itching, burning and dryness of the mucous membranes, the spray is prescribed for several weeks twice a day. To prevent the occurrence of this condition, Epigen, according to reviews, is effectively used after intercourse.

Symptoms of an Epigen overdose are not described in the instructions.

The use of Epigen intima as part of the combination therapy of viral diseases with analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics does not lead to significant side effects and does not change the therapeutic effect.

Side effects

Epigen, according to reviews, does not cause pronounced disturbances in the work of the main body systems. In rare cases, external application of Epigen spray can cause local allergic reactions, most often in the form of contact dermatitis.
