Herpferon
Herpferon is a domestic antiviral drug for local and external use. In addition to actually being antiviral, it has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and immunomodulatory effects. It is used for various types of herpes, including genital and herpes zoster.
Currently, there are more than 100 types of herpeviruses in the world, of which a good dozen pose a real danger to our lives. The uniqueness of herpes viruses is that they persist in the human body throughout its entire life cycle. This becomes possible due to the ability of viruses to “hibernate” in the nerve ganglia. Among all herpeviruses, the greatest threat is posed by the herpes simplex virus (in medical literature it is abbreviated as HSV, unwittingly leading to a criminal analogy with OPG, which, by and large, is not so far from the truth), which exists in the form of two types: HSV-1 (attacking face and oral mucous membranes) and HSV-2 (usually affecting the genitals). Today, more than 90% of people carry this virus. Moreover, about 10% of them suffer from persistent relapses of the disease, which is more true for genital herpes. The latter places a heavy burden on the public health care system, because... can cause female and male infertility, spontaneous abortion, infection of the fetus or newborn. Another extremely dangerous type of herpes virus is Herpes zoster or herpes zoster, which is expressed by damage to the central system. The disease occurs in representatives of any age group, but most often it affects people who have already celebrated their half-century anniversary. The drug herpferon, produced in the form of an ointment, is an effective drug for combating the herpes virus. It contains human recombinant interferon alpha-2, acyclovir and lidocaine. According to the manufacturer of the drug, a Russian biotechnological company, herpferon has no analogues in the world.
Interferon alpha-2 exhibits a pronounced antiviral effect: it inhibits the reproduction of the virus in affected cells. In addition, the drug exhibits immunomodulatory activity, since against the background of its action there is an activation of macrophages in the affected area. Acyclovir also has a fairly strong antiviral effect. To a greater extent, its activity is manifested against HSV types 1 and 2 and herpes zoster. The third component of herpferon, lidocaine, has a local anesthetic and weak antipruritic effect. In addition, the herpferon ointment contains polyethylene oxides, which increase the duration of action of the drug and stabilize the condition of all its ingredients. This combination of active substances provides an accentuated antiherpetic effect: prevents the spread of rashes, accelerates regeneration, and relieves pain. Clinical studies of the drug confirmed the legitimacy of the combination of the above biologically active components in one dosage form: thus, pharmacologists managed to solve a number of problems and endow their pharmacological “brainchild” with several useful functional characteristics (antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity). When using herpferon, a pronounced analgesic effect was observed due to the presence of lidocaine in its composition, which significantly increased the patient’s quality of life. The high efficiency and safety of the drug was experimentally confirmed, incl. with relapses of viral infections. In patients on a course of herpferon, headaches and general malaise stopped much earlier, itching and hyperemia at the site of the rash disappeared, i.e. the total duration of the disease was reduced.
