Instructions for use of vaginal suppositories Panavir

How and with what to treat warts, papillomas, condylomas

Treatment of warts, genital papillomas, genital warts is necessary under the supervision of a specialist - a dermatovenereologist, who can assess the benignity of the formation and recommend an effective method, taking into account the location and characteristics of the patient’s health condition.
The use of aggressive methods can worsen the condition of the patient who is self-medicating and provoke the appearance of new warts and the addition of a secondary infection. The main method of treating warts is destruction or removal (destruction), which is carried out in different ways depending on the manifestation of the disease, its location and the equipment of the institution. Doctors usually remove warts using medications or physical methods. Physical methods for removing warts include: cryodestruction (applications with liquid nitrogen), electrocoagulation and laser coagulation, which can be combined with each other and used together with drugs for external use.

The effectiveness of different methods of wart removal is approximately the same and reaches 50%. Relapses of the disease usually occur 3 months after treatment and can be observed in 25-75% of patients. The reason for the recurrence of papillomas is the removal of only external signs, without affecting the papilloma virus, which is the cause of the appearance of the wart.

Currently, an innovative antiviral drug for the treatment of papillomas, Panavir, has been registered. The action of Panavir is aimed at the cause of the disease - the human papillomavirus. Panavir is active against all types of HPV, which has been confirmed by many clinical studies, the results of which have resulted in more than 80 medical publications, including medical technology for the treatment of anogenital warts.

According to studies of the effect of Panavir on the immune system, an original treatment regimen was proposed. According to numerous data, the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effect of Panavir has been proven, which is of great value in the treatment of infectious diseases accompanied by inflammation.

The unique base of the Panavir gel, a salt of the rare earth metal lanthanum, does not allow secondary infections to penetrate onto the wound surface after destruction. At the same time, the drug has the effect of a biological invisible barrier - protecting surrounding tissues from re-infection with the papilloma virus. Based on this action, the Panavir Intim spray was developed to protect against viral infection, which was confirmed in a randomized, blind study. (Read about preventing papillomas infection).

The prognosis of the disease is the likelihood of warts reappearing, i.e. recurrence of human papillomavirus infection and the occurrence of complications is largely determined by the quality of treatment and the state of immunity.

Panavir intimate: therapeutic use

The main effect of the drug Panavir Intim in the form of a spray is aimed at suppressing viral infections. Additionally, the production of interferon protein is activated to increase protection against existing infection and prevent re-infection. Therapeutic effect:

• immunomodulatory;
• anti-inflammatory;
• wound healing;
• antiviral;
• antipyretic;
• pain reliever;
• neuroprotective.

Panavir intimate spray has an effect on the microflora after the first use. Activated immune proteins and cells enter the site of inflammation and destroy pathogenic agents.

Blood flow increases at the site of application, which in turn increases the efficiency of removing toxins and breakdown products.

In this case, regeneration and healing of damaged tissue occurs.

Panavir spray for intimate areas is used for the following diseases:

• genital herpes;
• papillomavirus, including in the active stage;
• cytomegalovirus infection (Panavir is prescribed in combination with other drugs);
• secondary immunodeficiency, aggravated by infection;
• interferon deficiency state at the preparatory stage for pregnancy.

Panavir vaginal spray has a good therapeutic effect during unprotected sexual intercourse as a preventive measure to protect against viruses and sexually transmitted infections.

Compound

First of all, it should be noted that the drug does not contain hormones and alcohol, which means it is completely safe for children and adults; it is often prescribed to pregnant women, especially if there has been a history of miscarriage. First of all, the polysaccharides of potato shoots should be noted in the composition. This extract has antiviral and wound-healing properties, immunomodulatory and protective. Thanks to this drug, the epithelium of the mucous tissue is restored very quickly, so it is indispensable in the case of acute respiratory infections and influenza. Several forms of the drug Panavir are available.

Composition and release form

Rectal and vaginal suppositories, a multifunctional solution for intravenous administration, as well as a gel for local and external use are modern medicines that have a common name - Panavir. Each case has its own recommendations for use, as well as contraindications. Modern gel sprays, sold in ordinary tubes, the contents of which can be sprayed like a regular aerosol, are in great demand. Such products do not belong to the category of medications, as they are intended for the prevention of diseases.

Today, in pharmacies, everyone can purchase the following dosage forms of Panavir:

• rectal and vaginal suppositories;
• gel spray Intim and Inlight;
• solution for intravenous administration;
• gel for external and local use.

All dosage forms of the drug Panavir contain a universal purified extract from the shoots of potato tops. The main active ingredient is a complex saccharide, which consists of rhamnose, glucose, xylose, mannose, and arabinose. Due to its numerous healing properties, potato tops extract received the patented name Panavir.

Each dosage form of the drug contains 200 mg of the active ingredient. Manufacturers use table salt and purified water as auxiliary elements in the manufacture of high-quality solution for intravenous administration. Confectionery fat, T2 emulsifier and paraffin are added to rectal suppositories. Vaginal suppositories also contain macrogols 400 and 1500. Glycerin, sodium hydroxide, ethanol, water and lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate are added to the gel for external use. Each form can be used by patients to treat a particular disease.

High-quality gel sprays have almost the same composition:

• Castor oil;
• purified water;
• polyethylene glycol;
• potato shoot extract;
• lanthanum nitrate;
• eucalyptus oil;
• sodium hydroxide.

Instructions for use of rectal and vaginal suppositories Panavir

Vaginal suppositories in the evening should be inserted directly into the vagina as deeply as possible. To do this, you need to lie on your back and bend your legs slightly. The procedure is carried out every night for 5 days.

To increase the therapeutic effect, before insertion you need to wash yourself and wipe your genitals dry. If necessary, the doctor prescribes a repetition of the course.

Rectal suppositories are used depending on the pathology:

• For influenza and acute respiratory viral infections, the administration of suppositories every night is indicated, the course is 5 days.
• When treating herpes and tick-borne encephalitis, double administration of suppositories is indicated with a 1 or 2-day interval. Repeating the course is possible a month after treatment.
• When treating human papillomavirus and cytomegalovirus infections, three-time administration is indicated with a 2-day interval in the first week of treatment and twice with a 3-day break in the second week of therapy.

How is papillomavirus infection PVI transmitted?

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 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%.

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).

Indications for use

Rectal suppositories are used for cytomegalovirus infection. Allowed to be used by women preparing for pregnancy and pregnant women.

They also treat influenza, viral infections, but recommend using them in combination with other drugs, herpes, genital herpes, warts, used for immunodeficiency, tick-borne encephalitis (in this case, it must be combined with other drugs to prevent side effects and eliminate their).

note

Vaginal suppositories are used for genital herpes in women, but in this case complex therapy is required, which will include Panavir suppositories.

The gel is used to eliminate infection, relieve inflammation of the mucous membranes and skin. He fights herpes, genital herpes.

The solution is used for immunodeficiency that appears after infections. Treats herpes, flu, viral infections, warts, cytomegalovirus infections, stomach ulcers, arthritis, prostatitis, encephalitis.

Main contraindications

Before using the drug, be sure to read the contraindications to avoid adverse reactions. If the patient is at risk, it is better for him to choose another medicine. The drug needs to be replaced in the following cases:

1. The patient's age is less than 18 years.
2. Sensitivity to composition.
3. Pregnancy.
4. Breastfeeding a child.

All these contraindications apply to rectal suppositories. But vaginal suppositories are strictly forbidden to be used not only during pregnancy and lactation, but also for chronic diseases of the spleen and kidneys. Before treatment, it is better to consult a specialist.

What it consists of and how it works

The active ingredient of Panavir is potato shoot extract (a polysaccharide that belongs to the class of hexose glycosides). Excipients are used only to facilitate the administration or administration of the drug, depending on the form of release.

The drug stimulates the induction of endogenous interferons (literally increases the body's own immunity) and prevents the synthesis of viral proteins - this is the reason for the antiviral and immunomodulatory effect of Panavir.

It has antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic (for thermal irritation: burns, frostbite) properties. In the treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers, Panavir demonstrated significant wound healing function.

Vaginal suppositories

They are used primarily to treat genital herpes. A number of gynecologists prescribe this drug for the treatment of cervical dysplasia, as well as for genital warts. Sometimes expectant mothers are also treated if there is a risk of human papillomavirus infection in the fetus. However, this is only possible in late pregnancy. The price is 1,700 rubles, that is, not the most affordable drug “Panavir” (suppositories). Cheaper analogues are the familiar “Viferon”, the price of candles is about 225 rubles. The drug “Genferon”, which costs 460 rubles, has a similar effect. Another option is rectal suppositories. They are also used to treat herpes viruses, as well as to boost immunity. The cost of a package of five candles is 1670 rubles. At the same time, the above medications (“Viferon”, “Genferon”) can also be used rectally, that is, they are analogues. It is difficult to say which drug will be more effective in your particular case. However, when it comes to treating herpes, doctors recommend Panavir. Instructions for use, price and reviews - all this information is useful, but the most important thing is that there is an effect, that is, as a result, the disease recedes. In turn, the antiviral activity of Viferon and other drugs in this series has not been proven.

Pharmacological principle of action

The instructions for use of Panavir rectal suppositories clearly indicate that the high effectiveness of this medication is due to its unique composition. The positive interaction of plant components helps to suppress an active viral infection, due to which further development of the disease can be prevented.

Regular use of the drug increases the body's ability to resist pathogenic microorganisms. As a result, unpleasant symptoms are eliminated, and the provoking virus itself dies. The key feature of the drug Panavir is the stimulation of interferon production, due to which the patient’s immunity is increased.

What else do you need to know

Before use, you need to carefully check the expiration dates of the medicine.

In addition to basic precautions, you need to remember that you cannot use Panavir solution for injection if the liquid in the ampoule has become cloudy

There is no data on the effect of the drug on the ability to drive a vehicle, as well as precise data on the combination of taking Panavir with alcohol. The manufacturer does not recommend drinking alcohol during therapy, because the drug increases the toxic effects of alcohol on a number of vital organs.

A common mistake is the use of Panavir gel in the treatment of ophthalmic viral infections. Only intravenous administration of the drug can help with this. Do not let the gel get into your eyes!

Dosage and methods of administration

The dosage and treatment regimen of Panavir vary depending on the form of the drug and the specific disease. Each suppository (both rectal and vaginal), as well as an ampoule of injection solution, contains one therapeutic dose of the drug (200 mcg).

The drug for intravenous injection is administered in a stream and slowly. Scheme of use for the treatment of various infections:

• As part of the treatment of herpes virus infections and tick-borne encephalitis, Panavir is administered one therapeutic dose twice with a break of 24 or 48 hours.
• Treatment of CMV and HPV is carried out over 14 days: in the first week the drug is administered three times with an interval of two days, in the second week - twice with an interval of three days.
• As part of complex therapy for peptic ulcer disease, the drug is administered every other day for ten days.
• For acute respiratory viral infections and influenza, two injections are indicated, one day apart.
• Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in patients with immunodeficiency involves five intravenous injections at intervals of one day or two.
• In the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis, Panavir is prescribed in the amount of 5 injections with a break of 48 hours.

Panavir rectal suppositories are used in the following dosages:

• For the treatment of ARVI and influenza, one suppository per day is used for five days.
• For herpes and tick-borne encephalitis, suppositories are administered twice with a break of a day or two.
• As part of therapy for cytomegalovirus infection and HPV, rectal suppositories are prescribed for two weeks, according to the same scheme as intravenous injections. In the first week, one suppository is used with an interval of two days, in the second - one suppository with an interval of three days.

Vaginal suppositories Panavir are used daily for five days, one suppository. The manufacturer recommends using suppositories at night and administering them strictly in a horizontal position, lying on your back.

Panavir gel is applied only externally, directly to the area of ​​the affected mucous membrane or skin. To treat herpes simplex virus infection, the gel is applied to the lesion up to five times a day for 5 days. When treating HPV, the gel is applied twice a day for 5 days before removal of condylomas and 10 days after the intervention.

During treatment with the gel, it is important to pay attention to the reaction of the mucous membrane and skin - if persistent irritation or itching occurs, consult your doctor

The instructions for using Panavir Inlight spray are as concise as possible - by pressing the spray nozzle, the spray is sprayed onto the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat twice a day. The manufacturer assures that the non-toxic composition of the drug allows it to be used daily for a long period of time without any harm to health or any addiction. These properties make Inlight spray an optimal drug for the treatment of ARVI and prevention during an influenza epidemic in both adults and children.

Panavir Intim spray is also suitable for daily use due to its neutral acidity and herbal composition. The spray is sprayed in the area of ​​the external genitalia before and after sexual intercourse.

Description of the dosage form

Human papillomavirus (HPV) or Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the most widespread infection among people, causes diseases of the skin and mucous membranes (warts), is represented by more than 120 types of viruses, and is directly related to benign and malignant diseases. The most common routes of transmission: sexual and household contact.

The first mentions of warts are contained in the treatises of doctors of Ancient Greece back in the 1st century BC. and were called “figs” for their external resemblance.

Papillomaviruses are DNA-containing viruses that are characterized by damage to the basal cells of the epidermis, the deepest layer of the skin or mucous membrane. Cells affected by the virus degenerate, actively divide, and as a result a papilloma is formed (from the Latin papilla - nipple and Greek oma - tumor). The term “papilloma” refers to a group of diseases manifested by papillary growths protruding above the surface of the surrounding epithelium.

Currently, thanks to the development of virology, more than 120 types of human papillomaviruses are known. Each of them has a digital designation, which was assigned in the chronological order of their discovery.

As a result of research in 1994, approximately 34 types of HPV were identified, which cause the formation of warts on the mucous membrane and skin of the genital organs, in the perineum and anus. Which are also included in the group genital papillomatous infection with a typical route of transmission through sexual contact. (Read about warts on the genitals or genital warts)

Papilloma viruses are divided according to the degree of likelihood of developing cancer (malignancy), into viruses of high, medium and low risk of oncogenicity. For example, HPV types 6 and 11 can cause genital condylomatosis that is not oncogenic, but can lead to giant condylomas. At the same time, types 16 and 18 of HPV can lead to the development of cervical cancer, vulvar cancer in women and cause penile cancer in men.

A serious factor for the formation of neoplasms is a concomitant opportunistic infection, for example, herpes simplex virus, trichomonas, mycoplasma, chlamydia, gonococci and other pathogens of sexually transmitted infections. The combination of HPV infection with two infections is detected on average in 33.3%, with three - in 46.2%, with four - in 20.5% of cases.

According to numerous studies, combinations of papillomavirus with genital herpes, cytomegalovirus infection, and trichomoniasis create conditions for potentiating the development of invasive cervical cancer. The presence of gonorrhea is associated with neoplastic changes in the vulvar area. Chlamydia and Trichomonas contribute to the degeneration of tissue in the cervical area, and can also be a kind of incubator in which the virus can remain for up to several weeks or months. Such a “commonwealth” of infections is dangerous for humans, since the risk of carcinogenesis doubles.

Solution for intravenous administration: clear, colorless liquid, odorless, salty taste. Gel for external and local use: a homogeneous white mass with a slight specific odor. Rectal suppositories: white with a yellowish tint with a specific odor, cone-shaped or cylindrical in shape ; The presence of yellowish-gray inclusions is allowed.

Instructions for use

The use of the drug is based on the following rules:

1. For herpes or encephalitis of viral origin, rectal suppositories should be used. They are supposed to be inserted into the rectum. Treatment involves the use of two suppositories for 24-48 hours. Sometimes the course needs to be repeated a month later.
2. To eliminate papillomavirus or cytomegalovirus, rectal suppositories are also used. During the week, you are supposed to administer 1 suppository every two days. Then you need to use the product once every 72 hours (also a week). The total number of suppositories is 5 pcs.
3. For acute respiratory viral infections and influenza, the drug is administered into the rectum once a day (one piece at a time) for 5 days.
4. Genital herpes in women is treated with vaginal suppositories. They are used for 5 days, one piece at a time. Sometimes the duration of treatment may be increased.

Despite the fact that these recommendations appear in the instructions for the drug Panavir, they may change depending on the characteristics of the disease and the properties of the patient’s body. Therefore, you should not self-medicate.

special instructions

Side effects after using the drug Panavir occur in extremely rare cases. More than 99% of all patients tolerate the effects of this medication well. Sometimes unpleasant symptoms may occur:

• burning;
• skin redness;
• itching

All these symptoms go away on their own within a few days. But if characteristic rashes appear on the skin and a person experiences severe weakness, this may indicate the development of an allergic reaction. In order not to aggravate the situation, the patient should stop using Panavir and seek help from a specialist.

There is a certain category of people who should use the drug with extreme caution:

1. During lactation. Despite the fact that the medicine is intended for local use, it is better to avoid it while breastfeeding. If the disease is in the acute stage, the woman should transfer the baby to special formulas.
2. Young children. Experts have not conducted enough research to determine how much the drug affects the unformed body. From the age of 12, specialists can prescribe Panavir to children, but only after testing for allergies.

In addition, treating pregnant women with suppositories is strictly prohibited. Experts recommend choosing another remedy to combat viral infections.

Mechanism of action

Panavir is an immunomodulatory and antiviral agent.

The drug significantly increases the immune response and activates increased production of interferons in the body. In turn, interferons block viral reproduction and spread to healthy cellular structures.

The drug is able to stimulate immune defense, and its active substance also inhibits DNA synthesis of the virus.

During testing, the drug proved the absence of carcinogenic and embryotoxic, allergenic and teratogenic effects. Suppositories also do not affect the fetus and reproduction, but it is still not recommended to use them during pregnancy.

Side effects

In some cases, Panavir solution, rectal and vaginal suppositories may cause certain side effects. In the vast majority of cases, the medicine is well tolerated by the human body.

The drug causes allergic reactions

Among the main side effects from the use of the drug are:

• development of an allergic skin rash;
• redness and swelling of the skin;
• discomfort and burning at the injection site.

Panavir vaginal suppositories are practically not used in the treatment of children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Rectal suppositories can be prescribed on a limited basis, under constant medical supervision.

strictly prohibited

If a pharmacological agent is used to treat herpes, both partners must undergo treatment at the same time. During the period of therapy, it is necessary to completely abstain from sexual contact or be sure to use condoms.

Panavir can be purchased in the pharmacy chain only with a medical prescription; independent use of the drug is strictly prohibited.

Similar drugs

There are numerous analogues of the drug on the pharmacological market, which include:

• Arbidol;
• Amizon;
• Kagocel;
• Lavomax;
• Ergoferon;
• Tiloron;
• Oksolin.

Such medications are successfully used to treat herpes virus, cytomegalovirus, and human papillomavirus.

Popular analogues

On the modern pharmaceutical market there are drugs that have a therapeutic effect similar to Panavir, but they contain completely different components. The choice of such drugs must be approached as responsibly as possible. The most common analogues of Panavir suppositories are:

• Alpizarin;
• Groprinosin;
• Arpeflu;
• Amizon;
• Tylaxin;
• Viferon;
• Amiksin;
• Kagocel;
• Epigen intimate;
• Lavomax;
• Genferon Light;
• Nikavir.

General characteristics and composition

This remedy, intended to eliminate the symptoms of viral diseases, is available in different forms. This allows you to choose the most suitable type of medicine: spray, suppositories, gel or injection solution.

Panavir, produced in the form of suppositories, can also be divided into two varieties: vaginal and rectal. They differ only in the method of application, but their composition is the same.

The main component is polysaccharides of plant origin (obtained from the Solanum tuberosum plant); one suppository contains 200 mcg.

In addition, the following ingredients have been added:

• confectionery fat;
• paraffin;
• emulsifier.

Suppositories are packaged in special blister packs in the amount of 5 pcs. They should be used only on the recommendation of a doctor, so as not to accidentally worsen your health.

Briefly about the drug

Panavir is an extract from the plant “Tuberous nightshade” (in Latin Solanum tuberosum), or ordinary potato (see Wikipedia).

Panavir has a direct effect on viruses, suppressing their growth and reproduction at all stages of development. The drug stimulates white blood cells to produce their own interferon, which also kills viruses.

Interesting fact: all green parts of potatoes are poisonous - leaves, berries, green tubers. They produce a toxic substance - solanine.

Main indications for use

We will take a closer look at the drug Panavir. Cheaper analogues are an attractive group for the end buyer, so we will definitely return to this topic a little later, but for now let’s look at in what specific cases a doctor can recommend this drug. It shows very good results in the treatment of herpes. And this means not only rashes on the lips, but in general any infections of a herpes viral nature. In the treatment of encephalitis, Panavir is no less often prescribed. Cheaper analogues must be considered individually, since not all of them have the same effect and are as safe. Many antiviral drugs end up on the pharmacy counter without undergoing special research at all.

In addition, the drug will be very useful in the treatment of arthritis caused by an attack of herpes viruses and other infections

It is very important to take such a drug for secondary immunodeficiency conditions that are caused by infectious diseases. For shingles, stomach ulcers with relapses and poorly healing scars, as well as acute respiratory infections, ARVI and influenza, it is very useful to undergo a course of treatment with the drug "Panavir"

Cheaper analogs will now be presented to your attention, but the final choice should be made based on the views of your doctor.

Reviews from doctors and patients

According to my observations, as well as the reviews of dermatovenerologists from Moscow, Panavir is one of the best antiviral drugs for the treatment of viral diseases. At the same time, it is cheaper than other drugs. And the manufacturer is Russian.

So, according to researcher Kushch A.A. (research based on the Research Institute of Virology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences), the effect of the drug occurs within 24 hours, maximum – after 48 hours.

According to patient reviews, they did not notice any difference between various antiviral agents.

Contraindications

Any medicine has contraindications for use. If the patient has them, use of the drug is prohibited, because undesirable consequences may occur.

Panavir also has its contraindications. It cannot be used for diseases of the kidneys and spleen, for children under twelve years of age when administered intravenously, and for children under eighteen years of age when treated with all other forms.

Vaginal and rectal suppositories are contraindicated in pregnant women. The injection solution can only be used for pregnant women as prescribed by a doctor, as the risk must be assessed. If the expected benefit is higher than the possible risk, then the product is allowed for use. The gel can also be used only as prescribed by a doctor.

Interesting to know

It is forbidden to use the drug by nursing women, because the active ingredients pass into breast milk.

Individual intolerance to the components included in the medicine is also possible. If a reaction occurs, use of the medication must be discontinued.

Intolerance manifests itself as follows:

• When using vaginal suppositories, allergies occur.
• Redness and itching develop at the site where the gel is used.
• Rectal suppositories and solution cause allergies, but very rarely.

No cases of overdose were observed. According to studies, the risk is very low. If patients are being treated for a genital infection, they need to treat both partners. If the effect is not noticed, repeated studies should be performed and the diagnosis should be reassigned. It is recommended to use all forms of release in the early stages of diseases to enhance the effect.

The drug can be used by those who need to drive a car and work with other devices that require increased concentration.

Therapeutic effect

The benefits of Panavir are determined by the properties of the active component - extract from potato shoots. All dosage forms of the drug make it possible to strengthen the nonspecific part of the immune system by activating the natural production of valuable interferon. As a result, the human body is much better able to resist various viruses and bacterial infections. Experts note that Panavir has several pharmacological and therapeutic effects:

• anesthetic;
• immunomodulatory;
• wound healing;
• anti-inflammatory;
• neuroprotective;
• antiviral;
• antipyretic.

The anti-inflammatory principle of action is due to an excellent immunomodulatory effect, due to which leukocytes and interferon synthesis are activated. This principle of action is especially important in the fight against protracted and chronic diseases. Leukocytes are able to quickly penetrate into the source of inflammation in order to destroy pathogenic microbes in a short period of time. The interferons produced by the body increase blood flow in order to quickly remove all decay products and toxins from the body after the regeneration of damaged tissues. Due to this, the pathological focus is completely eliminated and the person recovers.

The analgesic effect of the drug Panavir is due to the fact that the components included in the composition stop inflammation and suppress pain at elevated temperatures (for example: frostbite, burns).

The drug increases the resistance of body cells to the negative effects of the environment. If the patient has been diagnosed with an ulcerative defect of the gastric mucosa, the drug Panavir has a characteristic wound-healing effect, accelerating the restoration of the natural structure of damaged tissues.

Panavir for intravenous injection

It is this form that is suitable for the systemic treatment of severe viral infections. When administered intravenously, it exhibits a powerful immunostimulating effect. It should be noted that the price is very high. A package of five ampoules will cost approximately 3,900 rubles. Not everyone can afford the drug Panavir. There are analogues and substitutes for the drug in every pharmacy, so be sure to ask your doctor about them. An analogue can be called “Cycloferon”. The cost of this drug is 330 rubles for 5 ampoules. As you can see, the difference is tenfold.

Another analogue can be called the drug “Neovir”. This is an effective antiviral drug that has proven itself excellent both in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, from acute respiratory infections to HIV. Its price is 1120 per pack, that is, it is more expensive than the previous one, but much cheaper than Panavir. Good immunostimulants are not cheap; we did not find any positive reviews about the inexpensive Cycloferon. However, doctors speak very highly of the effectiveness of the drug “Neovir”.

Analogues of "Panavir"

• Epigen intimate - different forms of release. More about epigene.
• Isoprinosine - tablets only. Read more about isoprinosine.
• Allokin alpha: solution for subcutaneous administration. Instructions for Allokin.
• Aldara cream (imiquad) Instructions for imiquad.
• Acyclovir is an analogue only for the treatment of herpes

In general, all antiviral agents are expensive, since their production is high-tech and costly. But Panavir is still cheaper than its other analogues.

Therefore, Russian doctors more often recommend this particular drug.

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Solution for intravenous administration and rectal suppositories: use during pregnancy is possible only if the expected benefit to the mother and fetus outweighs the potential risk of adverse events. In the second trimester, Panavir is used to prevent infection of the fetus with cytomegalovirus, and in the third trimester - to prevent infection of the fetus with human papillomavirus. If it is necessary to use the drug during lactation, breastfeeding should be stopped.

Experimental studies on animals have not established a negative effect on reproductive function and fetal development.

During pregnancy, a decrease in immunity occurs in order to preserve and successfully bear the fetus.

Often, it is during pregnancy that a woman learns about the presence of the human papillomavirus in her body by the appearance of warts. Against the background of weakened immunity, the herpes virus can become more active.

Some viral infections suffered during pregnancy can have an extremely negative impact on the intrauterine development of the child and even provoke a missed abortion. Such diseases include cytomegalovirus and tick-borne encephalitis.

Despite the lack of data on harmful effects on the fetus, Panavir is not recommended for use in pregnant women up to 12 weeks, during the period of active fetal formation and the development of all organs and systems.

The drug Panavir is not recommended for the treatment of women during lactation. If there is an urgent need for treatment, breastfeeding is stopped and the baby is transferred to formula.
