The enemy of dangerous viruses - Panavir injections: release form (5 ml ampoules, solution), analogues of the drug

Description of this medicine

A spray for topical use that has an immunomodulatory effect and effectively fights viral pathogens. The drug is made on the basis of a natural component and rarely causes side effects. Panavir is produced in several release forms, due to which the range of its use is quite wide.

This drug is able to stimulate the production of interferon in the body. Almost every person is familiar with the properties of interferon - this is a special protein that is synthesized by the body. Thanks to it, cells become more resistant to the effects of viruses and the ability to prevent their reproduction.

The drug is characterized by the following pharmacological properties:

1. Neuroprotective.
2. Wound healing.
3. Painkiller.
4. Antipyretic.
5. Antiviral.
6. Anti-inflammatory.
7. Immunomodulatory.

Features of its action

Thanks to its unique composition, the active components of the drug, when applied to the skin and mucous membranes, quickly penetrate its upper layers and are integrated into viral molecules. The drug not only blocks the spread of microorganisms into healthy cells, but also prevents their reproduction. In addition, Panavir Inlight has other positive effects:

— Stimulates the immune system and protective capabilities of the body. The drug does not contain artificial interferons. It encourages the body to produce them on its own.

— Due to the activation of leukocytes, the drug has an anti-inflammatory effect, regenerates tissue and slightly reduces body temperature.

— “Panavir” also has wound-healing, antipruritic and analgesic effects.

— The drug not only destroys viruses, bacteria and fungi, but also prevents their spread, protecting the skin and mucous membranes from secondary infection. This property of the spray can be used to prevent colds and flu.

Composition, pharmacological forms of this medication

The manufacturer produces the medicine in several pharmacological forms:

1. Rectal suppositories.
2. Vaginal suppositories.
3. Gel intended for external use.
4. Injection solution.
5. Spray gel "Intimate".
6. Spray "Panavir Inlight".

Such a variety of pharmacological forms allows absolutely every patient to choose the most effective and convenient version of the drug for him.

Panavir throat spray is packaged in bottles with a volume of 40 ml and equipped with a special sprayer.

In accordance with the manufacturer's annotation attached, the main active ingredient in the spray is an extract obtained from the shoots of tuberous nightshade, as well as an extract of purple echinacea, the healing properties of which have been known since ancient times.

What else is characteristic of Panavir spray? The composition of the product is unique.

It includes polysaccharides as additional components: uronic acids, galactose, xylose, mannose, rhamnose, glucose. Polysaccharides are necessary for the human body as a source of energy. Polysaccharides also help maintain the desired blood sugar level. In this way, the brain can receive the nourishment it needs, which helps increase concentration, improve memory, and mental activity.

The composition of the drug also includes such additional substances as purified water, hydrogenated castor oil, lanthanum nitrate, sodium hydroxide, polyethylene glycol.

It is worth considering and paying attention when choosing a medicine that the manufacturer produces two types of spray. One of them contains eucalyptus oil, and the other does not.

Eucalyptus oil is added to the medicine in order to speed up the process of regeneration of damaged tissues and reduce the intensity of the inflammatory process.

Analogs

Panavir has many analogues that are similar to it in their effect on the body affected by papillomavirus. It must be remembered that they do not give the same pronounced effect. Therefore, in some cases their use is inappropriate.

Drugs with a similar mechanism of action differ from Panavir in their active substances. It can be replaced with the following pharmaceutical products:

• "Acyclovir". The cream is intended for external use. It copes well with inflammatory processes on the skin and mucous membranes. Acyclovir is one of the cheapest taxes. Its cost does not exceed 50 rubles;
• "Fenistil Pentsivir". This analogue is more suitable for treating the herpes virus, which Panavir also treats. The product costs a little more than 200 rubles;
• "Viferon". Gel with antiviral effect. It contains human interferon, which strengthens the immune system of a patient with papillomavirus. The cost of “Viferon” is from 160 rubles.

Sometimes patients try to replace Panavir with a cheaper immunomodulator. This is actually the wrong decision. Since the medication has no structural analogues, it is impossible to choose a complete replacement for it. Therefore, you should not even try to treat the human papillomavirus in this way, since the therapy will not bring the desired result. In any case, all these points must be discussed with your doctor. And only he should select Panavir analogues if the need arises.

Indications for use of the drug

In accordance with the instructions for use attached to the Panavir spray, it is indicated for use for the treatment of ENT diseases and the prevention of infections in the following cases:

1. Burns of the mucous membranes in the oral cavity.
2. Damage to the mucous membranes in the oral cavity is of a traumatic nature.
3. Runny nose of a viral nature.
4. Flu.
5. ARVI.
6. Insect bites.
7. Period of seasonal diseases.
8. Stomatitis, bleeding gums.
9. Pharyngitis, laryngitis, tonsillitis and other throat pathologies of infectious etiology.

Many people are wondering at what age Panavir spray is allowed. More on this below.

Instructions for using Panavir

Before each use, Panavir spray must be shaken well. When spraying into the oral cavity, the bottle should be held strictly vertically. When used externally, the entire problematic surface should be treated with the drug. One or two sprays of the spray are enough to do this. When treating the oral cavity with Panavir, it is necessary to use a special nozzle. In this case, it is recommended to press the valve 2-3 times.

Treatment of inflammatory diseases of the larynx and oral cavity

If you have these health problems, apply a throat spray twice a day - in the morning and before bed. The duration of therapy is determined individually. It is recommended to continue treatment until all signs of the disease disappear. In this case, it is advisable to extend the therapy for another few days after recovery.

To achieve the best result, you must hold your breath while spraying the spray. The peculiarity of Panavir is that it is absolutely safe to use for a long time, which is especially important during periods of seasonal epidemics.

Feature of Panavir

Prevention of influenza and ARVI

To prevent respiratory diseases, it is advisable to use this spray twice a day - morning and evening. Each time, the back wall of the pharynx and nasal passages are irrigated. During use of the product, a slight burning sensation may occur, which is quite normal. Panavir can be used throughout the period when there is a high probability of developing influenza or a cold.

Contraindications for use, negative effects of this medicine

The only contraindication to the use of Panavir spray that is worth noting is individual sensitivity to any component included in the drug. Using the product in this case can lead to the development of an allergic response of the body and manifest itself as itching and burning on the treated mucosal surfaces.

However, additional symptomatic therapy for allergies is not required; all clinical manifestations disappear independently and completely after stopping the use of the spray.

Caution must be exercised when using Panavir throat spray:

1. Patients with severe forms of pathologies of the spleen and kidneys.
2. People who are prone to allergic reactions.
3. Patients with severe intolerance to polysaccharides.
4. Children's age up to 1 year.
5. The period of exacerbation of severe systemic pathologies: tuberculosis, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, collagenosis (an immunopathological process accompanied by dysfunction of connective tissues; collagenosis includes rheumatism, dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis).

There are no restrictions on the combined use of Panavir Inlight with other drugs that have anti-inflammatory effects and are intended for the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza.

In addition, the drug can be used for a long time without any side effects.

There are no hormonal components and alcohol in the composition of the drug, so the spray can be used during the lactation period, during pregnancy. The drug is also safe for children and can be used from the age of 1 year.

Panavir gel composition

The drug is an absolutely natural substance. The main element of the drug is isolated from ordinary potatoes. Its name is Solanum tuberosum. Polysaccharides found in potato shoots have antiviral properties, including effectively helping with the ailments in question.

The gel structure of the drug is:

• hectose glycoside – extract of potato shoots (Solanum tuberosum);
• water base;
• lanthanum salts - a chemically formed element that promotes skin healing.

The white ointment has a slight odor and does not irritate the mucous membranes.

Let's consider recommendations on how to store Panavir. The instructions for use say that it is better to store it at room temperature or cool (not lower than 2 degrees Celsius), for a period of no more than 3 years from the date of release.

The drug is completely herbal, therefore, unlike synthetic drugs that are currently offered on the market, Panavir ointment is completely safe and can be used during pregnancy. Although it is not prescribed until adulthood (18 years). The only contraindications are allergic reactions to the components of the product.

Methods of application

For the purpose of treating ARVI in combination with other medications, it is recommended to perform 2-3 sprays twice a day using Panavir throat spray. In severe forms of the disease, it is allowed to increase the frequency of applications to 5 per day, but in this case you should first consult a doctor.

In order to prevent infection with respiratory diseases, it is recommended to spray up to 2 sprays into the throat twice a day.

For the treatment of lichen, herpes, stomatitis, it is recommended to spray the product on the affected area twice a day. It should be used in a similar way to eliminate the itching that occurs after an insect bite.

It is important to adhere to some precautions when using Panavir Inlight:

1. It is strictly forbidden to use the drug if its expiration date has expired.
2. The product can only be used if recommended by a specialist.
3. The use of the drug under the age of one year is unacceptable. This is due to the impossibility of using the spray in young children.

Suppositories: instructions for use

If infection with a herpes virus is detected, tick-borne encephalitis is diagnosed, Panavir is indicated twice per suppository. The interval between procedures is 24-48 hours. Therapy is repeated after a month if the patient’s condition requires it. Respiratory viral diseases and influenza are treated for five days in a row, using one suppository daily, maintaining daily intervals between procedures.

For CMV, HPV, Panavir is indicated three times during the first week of the course; 48 hours should pass between the administration of suppositories. In the second week, the frequency is reduced, Panavir is used at 72-hour intervals, that is, twice.

Vaginal suppositories are intended for deep insertion. This should be done lying down, with your legs bent. The drug is used for five days in a row, one serving. The need for a second course is determined by the doctor based on the patient’s condition.

It is important to remember that all of these drugs differ in their composition, although their effects are similar. Nevertheless, medications can provoke negative effects and have contraindications and age restrictions.

Analogs

Among drugs with a similar mechanism of action, there are several drugs that are aimed at fighting viruses.

Viferon

A popular antiviral drug based on recombinant human interferon. This protein enhances local immunity, reduces inflammation and fights the virus by penetrating the DNA of the pathogen and damaging it. It is used as part of complex therapy for papillomavirus infections of the skin and mucous membranes.

For external use it is available in the form of gel and ointment. Their composition is additionally enriched with antioxidants and vitamins, which enhance the effect of interferon and help accelerate the regeneration of damaged tissues.

The ointment is a viscous, homogeneous substance of a yellowish tint. In addition to the main medicinal substance, it contains vitamin E, peach oil and lanolin, which promote deep nutrition, hydration and healing of the epidermis.

The gel has a lighter texture. It is opaque, white with a grayish tint. The product is quickly absorbed, so the concentration of the active substance in it is slightly less than in the ointment. The gel is enriched with vitamin E and glycerin.

Both forms of the drug have no contraindications, except for the individual reaction to the components of the medication. Viferon can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Available in 12 gram tubes. The price of the drug in pharmacies averages 150-200 rubles per package.

Genferon

A medicine with a combined composition that has a systemic and local therapeutic effect against the human papillomavirus. A good and effective analogue of Viferon.

The main active ingredient is interferon. It has an indirect effect on the virus, activating the activity of cells of the immune system. They recognize the pathogen and destroy its DNA, stopping the development of the infection.

The medicine contains taurine, which, in addition to antioxidant properties, enhances the effect of interferon and has the ability to accelerate tissue repair. Benzocaine, which is part of the product, has a local analgesic effect and does not penetrate the systemic bloodstream.

Available in the form of suppositories (rectal and vaginal). Genferon can be combined with other medications against papillomas, for example, with antibiotics and antiviral drugs.

The product can be used from the 13th to the 40th week of pregnancy. The medicine is well tolerated by patients; local reactions may rarely occur - burning and itching, which quickly pass and do not require discontinuation of the drug.

The price of the medicine in pharmacies differs depending on the dosage and averages from 480 to 780 rubles.

Reviews

Most often there are reviews about the use of the drug for the treatment of children. Parents note that the product is almost completely safe and only occasionally provokes allergic reactions. The drug is effective for tonsillitis, pharyngitis and stomatitis.

However, children often complain that the medicine has a bitter taste, which remains in the mouth for quite a long time after irrigation. In addition, after use, the secretion of mucus from the nasal cavity increases. Doctors say that this situation is normal and recommend continuing therapy, since unpleasant reactions disappear on their own after some time.

Despite the almost complete safety of the drug, its use should be coordinated with a doctor, especially if therapy is intended for pediatric patients.

More information about Ergoferon analogues

Perhaps this particular remedy can be safely called one of the most popular drugs for maintaining immune status. The demand for it is especially high in the off-season, when the immune system is weak and epidemics undermine the health of many of our fellow citizens. Additional complexity is created by viral mutations - pathological forms of life are stronger and more stable from year to year, and medications are less dangerous for them. In such a situation, it is difficult to do without drugs to stimulate the immune system - their inclusion in the therapeutic program allows you to get rid of symptoms much faster and achieve a complete cure.

Ergoferon is suitable for children and adults; it extremely rarely provokes an allergic response, so it is indicated even for those who cannot tolerate most medications. The drug will help with acute respiratory diseases, certain forms of influenza, and herpes infections. "Ergoferon" can be used if tick-borne encephalitis or meningitis is diagnosed. For whooping cough, pneumonia and some other bacterial diseases, Ergoferon can be used as an element of complex treatment.

The drug is indicated not only as part of a course of treatment, but also as a prophylactic agent. Approved for use for children over six months of age, for adults at any age.

Reviews from doctors about Panavir

"Panavir" is a good effective drug in the treatment of HSV type 1.2, CMV, EBV, Herpes type 6 and HPV. Has a pronounced immunomodulatory effect. Approved for use in pregnant women in the 1st and 2nd trimesters. Side effects are rare.

Expensive drug for many patients.

I use it often and see the effect in the treatment of herpes virus infections.

A very good and affordable drug for the treatment of viruses in therapeutic practice, especially in relation to such an unpleasant and dangerous papilloma virus, can only be used after being prescribed by a general practitioner or dermatovenerologist; the correct dosage and its selection are very important.

Panavir is an effective treatment for infections associated with various types of herpes, human papillomavirus, and cytomegalovirus. It is available in the form of a solution for intravenous administration, in the form of suppositories (vaginal and rectal), gel, and also a spray - which is very convenient. I confirm the effectiveness of this drug.

Slight itching may occur. It goes away on its own.

I had sufficient experience with this drug in its various forms, and in not a single case was a positive effect noticed. The evidence base for the drug also does not provide anything useful. It is very expensive in price, and also inconvenient because injection use requires injection into a vein.

An excellent original domestic drug “Panavir”. I successfully use this drug in the treatment of many viral infections: herpes, HPV, CMV and many others. The presence of this infection leads to inflammation in the genitourinary organs and disruption of human reproduction. Even if it is not possible to completely “remove” the virus from the body, it is almost always possible to reduce the level of significant concentration of the virus with its help.

Yes, the price is steep, but because there is a real effect. It takes a long time (up to several months) to wait for the effect, but this is because the virus is generally difficult to influence. In my opinion, it is somewhat inconvenient that in order to reduce the concentration of the virus in the blood it is necessary to use only the parenteral route of administration, and in undiluted form. With rapid intravenous administration, postural reactions are possible (and noted by me).

An excellent original domestic drug produced by National Research Panavir LLC in its practice) I receive only positive feedback from my patients with this pathology. I recommend that you always use a spray or ointment during the course of injections - the effect is enhanced and the risk of recurrent rashes tends to zero.

Treatment with Panavir is well tolerated by patients. Papillomatous rashes must be removed (laser, radio wave electrocoagulation).

Which is better gel, cream or spray?

Panavir gel for papillomas is available in several forms:

• gel;
• cream;
• spray.

It is impossible to say for sure which is better - gel, cream or spray, since the products are used for different purposes.

Panavir gel for papillomas is suitable for anyone to use. because Available in different forms and dosages.

The gel contains the smallest amount of excipients, so it can be used on intimate areas of the body.

Panavir in the form of a cream contains a polysaccharide extract of tuberous nightshade shoots. It is used to treat skin papillomas.

Panavir spray, in addition to the main active ingredient, includes eucalyptus oil. It is more often used to treat the oral mucosa and is prescribed by doctors as an adjuvant for various viruses, acute respiratory viral infections and influenza. Effect of the drug

Panavir gel for papillomas and warts (patient reviews confirm the rapid effect) has an immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, virusostatic effect, and also accelerates the process of cell tissue regeneration.

Thanks to these properties the drug:

• prevents the virus from entering the human body at the cellular level;
• blocks harmful proteins and prevents them from multiplying, which allows suppressing the activity of the virus;
• helps stimulate local immunity;
• relieves pain, relieves itching;
• promotes rapid healing of the skin and mucous membrane.

The drug has a neutral pH and does not cause allergies. The composition does not contain hormones or toxic substances, it does not promote cell growth and does not affect reproductive function. Panavir for papillomas

Papillomas look like raised growths. As a rule, they are brown or flesh-colored. Sometimes such growths can hang down. These neoplasms are more often of a viral nature and appear as a result of human infection with HPV (human papillomavirus).

Removal of growths occurs in two ways: medication and surgery. Panavir gel has proven itself to be the best drug against papillomas. In cases where the growth is large, doctors advise first removing it surgically and then healing the wound with Panavir.

The skin on the body after using the product looks healthier, and the appearance of new papillomas stops. The gel copes with small growths on its own. The drug does not remove tumors, it acts on cells, destroying the virus in the body.

Patient reviews of Panavir

Panavir did not help me. I don’t know who it helps and how, but herpes remains the same. Injected intravenously. It was not very convenient, I had to go to the treatment room. It's a shame that it's all in vain.

“Panavir” injections were given according to the prescribed scheme. There is no effect. Wasted time and money. HPV type 16 has not been cured. The drug is not effective for this disease.

Useless drug. Prescribed by a gynecologist in the presence of low- and high-risk HPV, as well as gardnerella and ureaplasmosis. I injected intravenously and put on Panavir suppositories, also took an antibiotic and more suppositories to normalize the vaginal microflora. Effect 0%. I am beside myself with the time spent (the treatment took 37 days!) and the money. I looked at various information on the Internet on doctors’ websites, where they say that HPV is NOT curable, so I don’t believe the reviews of those who write that Panavir helped them get rid of HPV.

It destroys viruses very well. The drug puts you on your feet in the shortest possible time. When it comes to all the symptoms of ARVI, I definitely start being treated with Panavir; I learned about the medicine from an advertisement on TV. When I completely finished the treatment, there was never a relapse, and there were no side effects. The price is very good. I’m also thinking of trying to buy Panavir in gel form, since there is a very wide range in the treatment of various diseases, and my herpes worries me. I am more than sure that it will help me, since other drugs from the line work very effectively. I recommend it for use, but it is advisable to consult a doctor.

I got rid of the problems, the dermatologist recommended this product to me as a way to combat warts. Recently, I very often began to suffer from various viral diseases, so I have to bear the consequences in the form of changes in the condition of the skin on my arms and legs. I applied this drug strictly 2 times a day to the problem areas of the skin I needed, usually I did it 1 time in the morning, 1 time in the evening before bed. Literally after 2 weeks the warts began to dissolve, and after a month there was no trace of them left at all. I am very glad that this product helped me, and the price is quite reasonable.

I have a constant problem where when I get a blast, something like herpes appears on the corners of my lips. I used a lot of medications, including tablets, but nothing helped, and if it did, it didn’t last for long, it was just that, by and large, there was an analgesic effect. I decided to try to buy Panavir gel, read reviews on the Internet, and realized that the product was effective and worth trying. I like the fact that it is of plant origin, which means nature itself will heal you, which is exactly what she did. A tube of gel helped cope with the disease. I feel great. I definitely recommend it to anyone who has similar problems.

I have been suffering from herpes for several years now, a friend recommended Panavir and said it helps a lot. To be honest, Panavir gel did not help me, then I was advised to use it with Panavir tablets. It was only after this that it helped me. There is only one conclusion - this medicine does not help everyone, or in combination with taking Panavir tablets.

This drug came to me from a medical representative and was presented as a means to prevent ARVI. Its composition is very strange, but the worst thing is the feeling of using it. I have a spray that can be sprayed into the nose and throat. It didn’t reach my throat; I sprayed it once into my nose when I started getting a runny nose. There was no such terrible burning sensation from any medicine, I thought that there was already some kind of burn there. The burning went away after about 20 minutes, the runny nose did not start in the end, but I definitely won’t use Panavir again, the sensations from it are too terrible.

A huge range of indications - from everything at once. How is this in general? What a magic pill for everything. But to get to the point, the doctor prescribed this drug for HPV. It helped, but for a very short time, there was a relapse.

Good afternoon. I used this drug to treat labial herpes. It helped me well, the sore began to dry out and by day 4-5 everything was barely noticeable. I don’t understand where this hatred of potatoes comes from? Absolutely every drug contains an active substance of plant, animal or chemical origin. Yes, perhaps it is too weak for more serious viral diseases, such as HPV, CMV. But it copes with herpes type 1 with a bang. There is always a tube of gel in the first aid kit just in case. By the way, this is one of the few drugs that is approved during pregnancy.

Hello! I am a doctor, but now I would like to write a review as a skeptical patient. I suffered from flat papillomas on my hand for about 5 years. I tried everything: ointments, cryo, etc. Out of desperation I bought Panavir gel. Expensive, I remember 1500 rubles, I didn’t believe it, but I applied it for 5 days. After 14 days, the papillomas began to disappear. They've been gone for a year now. Believe it or not, potatoes work.

How does Panavir help against warts?

Panavir is available in various dosage forms, but a gel is usually used to treat warts

Panavir gel for warts is effective because it contains many useful components. Its main active ingredient is potato extract, which is widely used in the treatment of papillomas. Also, a polysaccharide has an effect on warts, which helps limit the division of viral cells.

Panavir also improves human immunity, increasing the body's protective functions. Its use allows you to increase resistance to various viral and bacterial infections. Panavir gel has many advantages:

• prevents pain and discomfort;
• does not wash off upon contact with water;
• does not leave greasy stains and does not stain clothes;
• does not provoke the development of allergic reactions;
• there are no toxic elements in the composition;
• from the moment of application it is valid for three days;
• allowed during pregnancy, but in limited dosage.

To treat warts, Panavir is used in the form of a gel, but the product is also available in the form of a spray, rectal and vaginal suppositories. The gel is effective against all types of warts, especially the anogenital type.

In addition, it has the following indications for use:

• decrease in protective functions against the background of any infectious disease;
• herpetic rashes of various localization;
• cytomegalovirus infection;
• complex therapy of tick-borne encephalitis.

The gel has a dense thick texture and also has a neutral odor. In addition to potato shoot extract, the gel contains components such as glycerin, ethanol and purified water.

Using Panavir gel helps get rid of growths, since the active ingredient of the drug helps inhibit the activity of the papillomavirus. It also stimulates the production of interferon, which increases the body's protective functions.

The gel is classified as a cosmetic preparation and is therefore sold freely in any pharmacy. A doctor's prescription is not required to purchase. But people prone to allergic reactions are advised to select the drug together with a specialist. The product can be used for long-term therapy, as it is absolutely safe for human health.

Instructions for use of Panavir

Short description

Panavir is an original domestic antiviral drug based on medicinal plant raw materials, which has a wide range of antiviral effects. Increases the body's resistance to viral infections and promotes the formation by immune cells of the main endogenous protective protein - interferon. The active ingredient of the drug is an extract of the Nightshade plant. Panavir is endowed with original pharmacological effects, is well tolerated and demonstrates good results when traditional antiviral drugs do not cope with the task or are contraindicated for use. Panavir is used in complex therapy of the following diseases:

• herpes simplex virus (including genital herpes, ophthalmic herpes, herpes zoster);

• human papillomavirus (including anogenital warts);

• stomach and duodenal ulcers;

• spring-summer tick-borne meningoencephalitis;

• inflammation of the prostate gland.

Panavir is available in the form of a solution for injection, rectal and vaginal suppositories, and gel. Regardless of the dosage form, it is well tolerated by the body. Clinical studies have demonstrated the absence of allergenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic effects.

It has antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects. For stomach and duodenal ulcers, it exhibits wound-healing properties. Direct contraindications to the use of the drug are age under 12 years, individual intolerance (allergy to glucose, mannose, xylose and other components), and the period of breastfeeding. Use during pregnancy is possible only after assessing the benefit/risk ratio. In case of herpesvirus infection, Panavir in the form of systemic and/or local therapy helps reduce the duration of the acute phase of diseases, accelerates the healing of skin and mucous membrane lesions, prolongs the period of remission, increasing the quality of life of patients. In a study of the effectiveness of the drug in patients with recurrent genital herpes, positive treatment results were achieved in 95.8% of study participants. The cure of patients correlated with the restoration of the production of their own interferons. When treating labial herpes, the drug reliably reduces the duration of relapse by half and increases the period between relapses by 1.5-2 times. Significant improvement occurs in 70% of patients, improvement in 18%. There were no cases of clinically significant adverse reactions that led to drug discontinuation.

Effect of the drug

Virostatic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and tissue regeneration-accelerating properties of Panavir allow the drug to have the following effects:

• stop the virus from entering the body at the cellular level
• suppress viral activity by blocking harmful proteins and preventing their reproduction;

It is better to use Inlight gel spray, which is prescribed for the treatment of viral inflammatory diseases of the throat, nasopharynx, and oral cavity. The drug is used for pharyngitis, runny nose, viral tonsillitis, inflammation of the ENT organs.

When is it prescribed?

The highly effective drug “Panavir” (ointment) is intended for external use for viral infections. The instructions for use indicate that the product can be used to treat any of the known herpetic infections. Under the influence of the active component (hexoid glycoside), pathogenic microorganisms cannot develop and multiply, which leads to their death.

"Panavir" (ointment) instructions recommend prescribing for the treatment of the following pathological conditions:

• genital herpes (including recurrent);
• herpetic infection of the Varicella-Zoster type;
• ophthalmoherpes;
• human papillomavirus infection (in complex therapy);
• tick-borne encephalitis;
• bacterial prostatitis (in the chronic stage);
• rheumatoid arthritis.

Release form

Human papillomavirus infection occurs after contact with people suffering from diseases caused by HPV, as well as with a virus carrier that has no visible manifestations.
Transmission of infection is possible through towels or other objects on which HPV-infected epithelium remains, since the virus can remain active for several days in exfoliated skin cells. The “gate” for the penetration of the papilloma virus is microtrauma of the skin and mucous membranes (abrasions or cracks). Infection can occur in swimming pools, bathhouses, gyms, public institutions through shaking hands, wearing someone else's shoes or using a shared towel. There is a high probability of infection in beauty salons during manicures and pedicures, during cutting or grinding of old skin; in this case, self-infection (autoinoculation) and spread of infection to other surfaces is possible; inhalation of dust is also dangerous.

Infection often occurs in kindergartens and schools when the child’s immunity is poorly resistant to viral infections or hormonal changes in the body occur in adolescence.

The likelihood of infection during sexual intercourse, even protected by a condom, is extremely high. American doctors came to this conclusion in the 90s of the last century, during a large-scale study. With the increase in sexual activity of Americans, an increase in the clinical form, that is, visually observed papilloma, has been noted.

With a wide choice of barrier agents and antiviral lubricants (for AIDS), the number of patients with genital condylomatosis has not decreased. The main reason that has been highlighted is the presence of the virus in the surrounding tissues on the skin of the genitals, perineum and anus, which are not protected by a condom.

The potential risk of sexually transmitted infection is up to 80% of people of sexually active age, while 10% have a chance of developing the disease in a clinical form and 1% have a risk of developing into dysplasia and malignant diseases. According to foreign data, a direct correlation has been established that each new sexual partner increases the risk of infection by 5-10%.

The lifetime chance of becoming infected with HPV for sexually active women is greater than 70%. Among pregnant women, the detection rate of HPV is approximately 65%; the main reason for such a high susceptibility to the papilloma virus is the natural decrease in the immunity of a pregnant woman and the widespread spread of infection (Read about pregnancy and HPV).

HPV types 6 and 11 can cause a rather rare condition: the so-called respiratory papillomatosis. The main route of infection during childbirth is from a mother suffering from genital warts. Recently, widespread non-traditional relationships during oral-genital sex lead to an increase in the disease in adults, especially in combination with other infections and against a background of weakened immunity. (Read about polyps and respiratory papillomatosis).

During treatment with Panavir, there is an increase in the production of interferon and an increase in nonspecific immunity.

The drug has an antiviral effect due to the ability of the active substance to inhibit the synthesis of viral DNA in cells that have been infected by the virus.

Panavir in therapeutic doses is tolerated normally, there are no negative effects (allergenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, carcinogenic, embryotoxic) on the body.

The drug also has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, produces a certain regenerative effect, and accelerates the process of scarring of ulcers. It also has an antipyretic effect. The ability of the drug to improve the functions of the optic nerve and retina is noted.

During treatment with a solution for intravenous administration, as well as rectal suppositories, complications may occur that are associated with high sensitivity to the components of Panavir, as well as with individual intolerance to the drug.

If the cream is used for external use, itching and redness may occur in the areas where it is applied. However, these symptoms disappear quickly.

When treated with vaginal suppositories, allergic reactions rarely occur.

If the above or other side effects occur, it is necessary to stop treatment and consult a specialist.

Panavir Intim gel and spray cannot be applied to the same area of ​​skin simultaneously with any other topical preparation.

Harm and benefit, reviews

Most patients begin taking a course of Panavir without familiarizing themselves with the composition and without consulting with their doctor. Self-treatment does not bode well for the body.

Reviews from people

Lately, my son has been constantly complaining of a sore throat. We went to the clinic, but the ENT doctor did not find any signs of tonsillitis, and advised him to contact an immunologist. The immunologist prescribed Panavir Inlight. The course of treatment lasted eight days. They irrigated the throat day and evening. The sore throat went away after four days, but we still carried out a full course of preventive measures. I was satisfied with the effect of the drug, but the high price greatly angered me.

Recently I was very cold, and, as a result, herpes appeared instantly. The infectious disease specialist advised Panavir. After three days, the symptoms disappeared, but I continued to treat the affected area for another week. Sometimes I carry out preventive measures using a spray. I have long forgotten the problem of herpes. Very pleased with the medicine.

I have a very weak immune system. With the onset of cold weather, I begin to fight either the flu or ARVI. In addition, I work in a supermarket, and there is a constant draft there. Panavir always comes to the rescue. The drug is not cheap and has a disgusting taste, but it provides excellent treatment. One application is enough for the whole day. I have long been accustomed to the unpleasant taste, so everything suits me.

A month ago, I woke up in the morning and discovered an unbearable pain in my throat. I rushed to the pharmacy and the pharmacist recommended me a medicine in the form of Panavir spray. I immediately sprayed it and the pain went away as if by hand. Cured a sore throat in two days. Now I will only use Panavir.

Use during pregnancy, lactation and pediatrics

Panavir Inlight is one of the few medicines that can be used during pregnancy and lactation. It is absolutely safe for women during the specified periods of life. At the same time, the spray does not have a negative effect on the developing child’s body. Panavir is allowed to be used for a long period of time, which protects women from dangerous infections and their severe complications.

Taking Panavir during pregnancy is possible only after consulting a doctor

Also, this spray with a pronounced antiviral effect is approved for use in pediatrics. It can be used from infancy both for the treatment of various diseases and for their prevention.

The youngest children are not allowed to spray the medicine into the mouth to prevent the development of a gag reflex. It is best to apply a small amount to the inside of your cheek or to your pacifier. The indicated methods of using Panavir are the safest for children.

What does the drug consist of?

The active substance of the intimate medicine Panavir is a plant heteroglycoside. Among the auxiliary components, the drug contains water, polyethylene glycol and lanthanum salts. The successfully selected composition of Panavir allows you to protect the treated area from re-infection without negatively affecting the mucous tissue of the genitals.

The drug works to suppress viral infectious agents and activates the production of interferon, a protein that enhances the body’s defense against re-infection. Pharmacological properties of Panavir spray for intimate areas are as follows:

• Antiviral.
• Anti-inflammatory.
• Painkiller.
• Wound healing.
• Immunomodulatory.
• Antipyretic.

External use of the drug increases local blood flow. Well-functioning blood circulation accelerates the release of toxins and breakdown products accumulated due to the activity of pathogenic microbes.

The preventive effect of Panavir vaginal spray occurs when used after unprotected sexual intercourse. The product neutralizes pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases.

How to use the remedy

The instructions for use strictly prohibit the use of Panavir intimate spray for the treatment of eyes and other organs (except genitals). To achieve therapeutic and prophylactic goals, the bottle must be shaken and the medicine sprayed onto the affected area. Just 2 clicks on the valve is enough. The position of the bottle during the procedure is vertical.

To facilitate intravaginal administration, the drug is equipped with a nozzle.

It is placed on the bottle, placed in a lying position and inserted into the vagina. After two presses, maintain a supine position for 10 minutes. The maximum frequency of spraying the medication is 5 times a day.

Doctors determine the course of therapy based on the degree of damage to the reproductive system. But after the clinical picture improves, the medicine is used for another 7 days. This is necessary to consolidate positive dynamics.

If the medication is not used regularly, the nebulizer head may dry out. Clean the device by rinsing with hot water and pumping with sharp pressure.

Therapeutic gel spray Panavir Intim can be used to treat the oral cavity and nasal passages. For these purposes, there is Panavir Inlight, but the identical composition of the drugs provides for their interchangeability. To irrigate the oropharynx, place the “Intim” bottle on a flat surface and tilt your head so that the nozzle penetrates 1–2 cm into the mouth/nose. Then press the valve twice with your finger.

Intimate spray Panavir for pregnant women

You can use the medication during pregnancy, because the drug is non-toxic. It does not contain hormonal components, does not cause mutations in the fetus and neoplasms in the body of the expectant mother, and does not have a negative effect on the reproductive sphere.

Panavir solution for intravenous injection

This product is produced in ampoules (injections), the solution must be administered intravenously only. It is used to quickly and effectively begin a course of treatment and reduce severe viral infections, including the human papillomavirus.

In addition to treating papillomas, Panavir in the form of a solution can be used:

• for warts, condylomas;
• for influenza and ARVI;
• with tick-borne encephalitis.

The instructions for Panavir say that it should only be used on the recommendation of a doctor. The doctor must prescribe the dosage and period of the treatment course during which the gel will be used. In addition to the gel, immune therapy is usually used; it is a decisive factor, that is, a natural defense for the human body.

If, after using the drug, tissue rejection occurs in damaged areas of the skin, then the gel is then applied to such an area for several more months. This gives prevention and prevents damage to other areas of the skin.

The gel is applied in a thin layer not only to growths and warts, but also to the skin around them, then this area is covered with dense material on top (for example, you can fold a bandage in several layers). The gel can be applied to the mucous membrane, but you should avoid getting Panavir in the eyes (it is not intended for this purpose in the form of a gel, only in the form of a solution).

According to the instructions, there are several side effects such as itching, redness of the skin or an allergic skin reaction. Only after 2-3 weeks of using the medicine can warts and papillomas be removed. Then the affected skin should be treated with alcohol until it is completely healed. This gel cannot be combined with other ointments that are intended for external use.

Panavir can be used in the treatment of children starting from 10 months. Before this age, a child should not be prescribed the drug, as it can affect the child’s microorganisms, and this can harm the baby’s DNA structure.

It should be remembered that this medicine will not be able to completely get rid of growths; it can only influence their growth and prevent further spread of papillomas and warts to nearby areas of the skin. Even if the infection itself and the virus were destroyed, you should definitely consult a doctor to remove the growths surgically.

Doctors do not recommend self-medication for viral infections such as papillomas and condylomas; treatment with folk remedies is not recommended. After all, only a specialist can prescribe the necessary course of treatment and its duration, after passing the necessary examinations.

Composition of the drug

The active ingredient of the drug is hexoic glycoside. Thanks to this component, the process of synthesis and transmission of viral DNA chains by human cells stops. Cells affected by the virus stop dividing and are destroyed over time while taking the medicine.

The gel completely destroys the virus in the human body without causing harm to the body. The active substance is extracted from potato shoots. This indicates the natural origin of the drug.

The drug does not cause cell mutations and does not have a carcinogenic effect, which completely eliminates the development of a benign tumor into a malignant one.

How to use the product?

The medication treatment regimen will depend on the diagnosis made by the specialist. It is recommended to start using the ointment at the first symptoms of the disease. Typically, the product is used to treat colds on the lips. If you apply the drug at the initial stage of development of the disease, you can avoid the appearance of rashes in the form of bubbles or significantly reduce their number.

The gel-like substance is applied to the affected area and lightly rubbed. The procedure should be repeated at least four times a day. The duration of treatment is 5-7 days. The procedure requires a small amount of the drug.

Contraindications

There is no reliable information about the effect of the components of the composition on the development of the fetus.
For this reason, it is better to refrain from using Panavir during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are also age restrictions for admission. The gel should not be used by children under 12 years of age. It is also not recommended to drink alcohol during treatment. The drug is non-toxic, so it has few contraindications. The main one is an allergy to the plant extract or excipients, which can be expressed by itching and redness of the skin. No negative interactions have been observed with the simultaneous use of other drugs, and an overdose of the drug has also not been described.

The instructions recommend using Panavir anti-papilloma gel not only for the treatment of human papillomavirus. The medication copes well with warts, condylomas, viral melanomas, and stage 1 and 2 herpes.

The positive effect of therapy is observed from the first use. Patients notice the analgesic effect of the gel:

• reduction of itching;
• irritation;
• swelling and other unpleasant sensations.

Therapy must be combined with immunostimulants in order to speed up the body’s natural defenses.

It is also possible to use an external agent in the treatment of neoplasms caused by chlamydia, trichomonas, gonococci and fungal infections. This therapeutic effect gives the drug an additional advantage over others, since the papilloma virus is very often accompanied by additional infections, which previously could only be cured with individual drugs.

The gel also has an antiseptic effect, preventing other infections from entering the tumor tissue. The gel can also be used as a prophylactic agent to increase local immunity.

Panavir gel rarely causes side effects. Few patients who wrote reviews about the composition mentioned the appearance of allergies in various manifestations, which were caused precisely by treatment with this medication. Similar problems usually occur in people with hypersensitivity to the components of Panavir. For others it is completely safe.

The instructions for the medicine warn of the following contraindications for its use:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• Age up to 12 years;
• Individual intolerance to substances contained in Panavir;
• Papillomatosis in the eye area;
• Open wounds on affected skin.

If the gel, cream or other form of medication is used by patients who have no contraindications to them, then the treatment will be successful and will not cause negative reactions in the body.

When Panavir gel is used externally, a negligible amount of its active substances enters the bloodstream, so there are few contraindications to its use.

It is not recommended to use this drug:

• Children and teenagers under 18 years of age;
• In case of individual intolerance to components;
• Nursing women;
• In the first trimester of pregnancy;
• For severe diseases of the spleen and kidneys;
• For the treatment of eye diseases.
