Gepon

Gepon is an immunostimulating medication. It helps to stimulate the production of interferons, and with it the activity of macrophages. It also inhibits the production of cytokines and viral replication in HIV, herpes simplex and hepatitis type C. Increases the body's resistance to infections of bacterial and viral genesis.

The medicine has become widely used in recent years. It is included in combination therapy for severe (with regular relapses) pathologies provoked by the action of herpes simplex virus, papillomavirus, mycoplasma with chlamydia, and candida fungi. [1]

Pharmacodynamics

In people with HIV infection, the drug decreases blood viral concentrations and stimulates the activation of immune actions. In patients, the production of antibodies against HIV antigens and substances that provoke the development of opportunistic infections is potentiated. The clinical manifestation of this effect is the absence of recurrence of infection in a 4-6 month period.

When processed locally, it demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity. Already after 2 days of use, a weakening of swelling and soreness of the epidermis with mucous membranes, as well as hyperemia, is observed.

With immunodeficiency, an adult needs to orally consume 10 mg of the substance 1 time per day for a period of 1-3 months.

With ordinary herpesvirus, 2 mg of the substance is taken orally (it must be dissolved in 5 ml of water). This liquid should be kept in the mouth for 5 minutes and then swallowed. The medication should be consumed within 3-5 days. Local application - use in the form of a cream, which is made independently: mix 2 mg of dissolved drug liquid with 10 g of ordinary baby cream. You can also locally treat the epidermis and mucous membranes using a 0.04% solution (once a day).

In the case of candidiasis in the area of mucous membranes and epidermis, 3 irrigations are performed with 2-3-day breaks.

During the treatment of balanoposthitis or urethritis, the medicine is instilled into the urethra 3 times, at 2-3-day intervals.

To prevent the development of candidiasis in the area of mucous membranes, they are irrigated in conjunction with antibiotic treatment.

In the case of cervicitis or vulvovaginitis, the mucous membranes of the genitals are irrigated or lotions are applied to the infected areas. The frequency of use is the same as above.

When treating acute respiratory viral infections, you need to dissolve 2 mg of Gepon in 2 ml of water, after which 5 drops of this liquid should be instilled into the nostrils, 2 times a day for a 5-day period.
