Throughout life, we are surrounded by millions of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Most of them are able to survive even in extremely unfavorable conditions - for example, at extremely high or low temperatures. Infections are potentially potentially dangerous to humans, so medicine is doing everything possible to prevent the emergence of diseases, in advance adhering to appropriate preventive measures. One such measure is a suppository for the prevention of infections: viral, fungal and microbial. About the most common types of such prevention, we will share with you in this material.

Indications of the candles for the prevention of infections

Many varieties of infectious agents live with a human being as symbionts, even pathogenic ones (so-called conditionally pathogenic ones). They do not represent practically no danger for the organism, as long as certain circumstances favorable for the infection do not develop in the body. The presence of a conditionally pathogenic flora is very important for the organism, because without it it is impossible to maintain immunity, both locally and at the system level. The main thing is to prevent the passage of opportunistic microorganisms into the stage of increased pathogenicity.

If the human immune forces are weakened, then the body can not adequately respond to the invasion of viruses, pathogens and fungal infection. Therefore, it is important to maintain immunity at the proper level, sometimes using medicines for this - for example, a suppository for the prevention of infection.
