Antiviral ointment from warts

Radical methods of getting rid of warts are not as effective as ointments of anti-viral action, cleaning not only the formations themselves, but also the cause of their occurrence. In particularly large and painful warts located in places that cause inconvenience and therefore require immediate removal, antiviral drugs are used after surgery to prevent relapses.

The active component of the ointment is the viksotsid oxolin. It is intended for application to the skin and mucous membranes.

Oxolin destroys viruses and protects cells from penetrating into them the virus, preventing the virus from connecting to the cell membrane cover.

The drug has no toxic properties, does not concentrate in the tissues. When applied to the skin, approximately 5% of the preparation is absorbed. Excreted in the urine within 24 hours.

Panavir ointment

The active substance of the gel Panavir is an extract of potato shoots (hexose glycoside), an antagonist of the human papillomavirus.

It has the ability to resolve scars and scars, is used in a complex of therapeutic measures after surgical intervention to remove warts in order to prevent relapses.

Available in tube - 3g, 5g, 10g and 30g.

Studies of the drug on laboratory animals have not shown a negative effect on reproduction and fetal formation. Use of Panavir during pregnancy is allowed provided that the benefit to the mother exceeds the possible risk of pathologies in the fetus. Since the pharmacokinetics of the gel have not been adequately studied, when breastfeeding mothers are prescribed during the use of this drug, breastfeeding is discontinued.

Store three years at a temperature of 2-25 ° C in a dry, dark place inaccessible to children.

Interferon Ointment

Includes two active ingredients: interferon alpha-2 human and complex immunoglobulin preparation, combined on the basis of lanolin.

The antiviral effect of human interferon alpha-2 is to penetrate into cells and synthesize there a protein that stops the development of viruses at any stage. Activates its own immunity against bacteria, viruses, protozoa.

The second ingredient is the lyophilisate of the protein collodion of immunoglobulins IgG, IgM, IgA, extracted from human blood plasma. In the complex immunoglobulin preparation, part of IgM and IgA is from 15 to 25%, which increases its effectiveness in topical application.

The interaction of constituents of the ointment provides a good antimicrobial effect inside the cell and outside it due to the direct destruction of virulent organisms and the activation of their own immunity. Due to a significant increase in the protein mass in the ointment, interferons remain resistant to an aggressive environment at the sites of infection.

Produced in tubes and cans - 5g, 10g, 30g.

Acyclovir Ointment

Monopreparation with the same active ingredient, synthetic analogue of purine nucleoside deoxyguanidine, a natural element of deoxyribonuclease.

The similarity of acyclovir to its original allows it to interact with viral enzymes, interrupting the process of reproduction of the virus. In infected cells, the addition reaction of a phosphoric acid residue occurs and forms acyclovir monophosphate. Guanylyl cyclase catalyzes the conversion of monophosphate to diphosphate, and several more cellular enzymes into active acyclovir triphosphate, which integrates into the daughter deoxyribonuclease of the virus, stops the process of its reproduction.

The action of acyclovir is targeted selectively on the biosynthesis of the virus deoxyribonuclease. Acyclovir does not affect analogous processes in human cells.

Ointment applied to the healthy surface of the skin is not detected in the blood and urine, on the infected skin - there is a slight absorption. Excreted by the kidneys (up to 9.4% of the amount applied).

Available in tubes weighing 10g.
