Engystol is a combined homeopathic remedy.
The medicine does not have a direct virostatic effect, but it weakens poisoning and reduces the severity of the consequences of allopathic treatment, which is very important in the case of treating diseases of viral genesis, in which the virus penetrates into the cell. At the same time, the medicine has drainage activity in relation to lymph and mesenchyme, which are important participants in immune processes.
Engystol helps to excrete excess histamine, which is why it can be used by people with allergies.

Pharmacodynamics
The activity of the drug develops due to the properties of the components that make up its composition.
Colloidal sulfur helps restore the enzyme capacity and activates the activity of individual elements of the human immune system. In the process of regulating the enzyme and physiological activity of the body, the substance stabilizes the detoxification that occurs. Having a direct effect on the sulfide categories of various enzymes, it weakens their synthesis by antibiotics, heavy metals and sulfonamides.
The combination of asclepic acid with vincetoxin leads to stabilization of the function of the sympathetic region of the autonomic nervous system, resulting in improved vascular activity and restoration of tissue metabolic processes.
Dosing and administration
The tablet of the medicine must be placed under the tongue and dissolved. It is necessary to take 1 tablet 3 times a day, 0.5 hours before meals or 1 hour after. In the case of an active phase of the disease, it is necessary to take 8 tablets 2 hours before (at equal time intervals).
