Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The active ingredient of Epigen Intim is activated glycyrrhizic acid, obtained by extraction from plant materials (licorice root).

Activated glycyrrhizic acid has a complex effect, which includes immunostimulating, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and regenerating.

Activated glycyrrhizic acid induces the production of its own interferons. The immunostimulating effect is manifested by an increase in the number and activity of T lymphocytes, a decrease in the concentration of immunoglobulin G and an increase in the concentration of immunoglobulin A and M.

Activated glycyrrhizic acid has an antiviral effect on various types of DNA and RNA viruses in vitro and in vivo (Varicella Zoster; herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2; cytomegalovirus, various types of human papillomavirus, including oncogenic ones). Activated glycyrrhizic acid interrupts viral replication in the early stages, causes the virion to exit the capsid, thereby preventing its penetration into cells. Activated glycyrrhizic acid inactivates these viruses in concentrations that are non-toxic for normally functioning cells. Mutant strains of viruses resistant to acyclovir and iodouridine are also highly sensitive to glycyrrhizic acid, like non-mutant strains.

The anti-inflammatory activity of activated glycyrrhizic acid is combined with a stimulating effect on humoral and cellular immunity factors. Activated glycyrrhizic acid significantly inhibits the release of kinins and the synthesis of prostaglandins by connective tissue cells in the area of ​​inflammation. The regenerating effect is due to improved repair of the skin and mucous membranes.

Pharmacokinetics
When applied externally and locally, activated glycyrrhizic acid is deposited in the lesions. Systemic absorption occurs slowly. The drug is found in the blood in trace amounts.

Negative reactions from people

Unfortunately, people speak not only flatteringly, but also not very favorably of the Epigen (spray) product. Discharge sometimes causes negative reactions from women. Some girls are sure that after using Epigen they have even more leucorrhoea. However, these women do not specify that they used this spray on their own, without a gynecologist’s prescription. But, no matter how safe this remedy is, it should still be prescribed by a doctor. After all, you don’t know what causes vaginal discharge. Maybe Epigen should not be used in your case? Therefore, it is necessary to buy, let alone be treated with, this spray only after consultation with a gynecologist.

Women are also dissatisfied with the price of the drug Epigen. Indeed, the cost of this product is high. However, this price is successfully offset by the important advantages of the drug: its effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. And even a small bottle lasts a long time.

Now you know in what cases the doctor can prescribe Epigen (spray), how to use it correctly, what analogues of this medication are available. We have determined that people generally respond positively to this remedy, specifying that it helped them cope with thrush, vaginosis, colpitis, itching and burning in the genital area. Although this treatment spray may seem too expensive for many, you should know that the end result is worth the price.

According to the instructions for use, Epigen spray is an effective antiviral and immunostimulating drug, which is offered in a convenient form for use.

This drug contains special substances that are obtained from the licorice root extract. We are talking about glycyrrhizic activated acid in its active form. This component is an excellent remedy with antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, an extract from licorice root relieves itching, promotes rapid healing and restoration of the skin. Thus, you can quickly get rid of serious problems caused by infection and inflammatory processes in the body.

Glycyrrhizic acids synthesize endogenous interferons and significantly increase the number of lymphocytes and their activity. During the use of Epigen intimate spray, an increase and decrease in certain types of immunoglobulin occurs. Glycyrrhizated activated acid is capable of killing many types of viruses, including cytomegalovirus, herpes (both types 1 and 2), papillomavirus, including those of a malignant nature, that is, those that cause oncology.

The peculiarity of Epigen intimate spray is that it has a strong effect on viruses, but at the same time does not penetrate cells. Thanks to its powerful local effect, reviews of Epigen spray during its existence have been only positive. The action of glycerrizinic acid is aimed at deactivating diseased cells. Moreover, this substance is absolutely non-toxic for those cells that cope with their work normally.

Epigen spray has proven to be an effective drug for combating mutant and non-mutant strains of viruses. The active substance copes even where there is no positive effect from Acyclovir and Iodouridine. According to the instructions, Epigen intimate spray has a strong stimulating effect on humoral and cellular factors. At the same time, its anti-inflammatory effect is at a high level, which makes the spray stand out among similar products. It is impossible not to note the stimulation of epithelization, which causes the rapid restoration of the mucous membrane of organs.

Epigen can be purchased in several forms for use at the site of the lesion. Thus, the strong active ingredient of this remedy has a powerful local effect specifically in the inflammatory focus. If glycyrrhizic acid does enter healthy cells, it is an absolutely insignificant dose.

When should you use Epigen spray?

As a rule, specialists prescribe this drug for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes to combat diseases of viral etiology from gynecology. In addition, Epigen intimate spray will be useful if you need to quickly increase local immunity.

The peculiarity of this remedy is that it gets along well with other drugs, so it can work in combination, which significantly increases the chances of a quick and more effective recovery. Epigen copes well with viral diseases, which include papillomavirus. It is prescribed in the absence of pronounced symptoms in the laboratory determination of HPV of a highly oncogenic type.

In addition to effectively combating papillomavirus, Epigen intimate can relieve a person of genital herpes. It fights well against both types 1 and 2, and also kills cytomegalovirus.

Epigen intimate is often included in the complex treatment of pathological ailments and formations in the cervix. The drug can also be used as a prophylactic for those people who have a tendency to develop HPV. Epigen spray can be prescribed for patients with herpes virus, human papillomavirus and cytomegalovirus in recurrent stages.

Epigen is one of the components of complex therapeutic measures for the treatment of patients with reduced local immunity. In addition, it will be useful for nonspecific vulvaginitis, vaginosis caused by bacteria, and vulvovaginal candidiasis. For some women, a spray for the intimate area is recommended to eliminate discomfort in the genital area, severe itching, excessive dryness of the mucous membranes, causing a burning sensation, which can be felt during or after sexual intercourse.

How to use the spray?

According to the instructions, Epigen spray is intended for intravaginal, intraurethral or external use. If we are talking about a liquid form of production, then before each use of the product it must be shaken thoroughly. When spraying the drug, the bottle is held strictly vertically.

Before applying Epigen spray to the skin or mucous membranes, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the affected area. When spraying the spray, the bottle is kept at a distance of about 4 cm from the surface of the skin. As a rule, the doctor recommends applying 2 sprays at a time.

Epigen in spray form is very convenient for intravaginal use. The kit should include a nozzle with a spray bottle, which is designed specifically for these purposes. As a rule, the attachments are well packaged. Before use, the device must be removed from the packaging and the regular spray bottle removed from the can. Then a special nozzle is put on the bottle and inserted into the vagina, where the number of sprays recommended by the doctor is performed. As a rule, one dose is a couple of presses on the sprayer.

Epigen intimate can also be prescribed to men. In this case, doctors often recommend intraurethral use, that is, administration of the drug through the urethra. Most often, representatives of the stronger sex are limited to external use. When using attachments, they must be thoroughly washed and dried after each use. The cleaning process must be accompanied by the use of soap or shower gel.

Epigen to prevent illness

According to a large number of positive reviews from doctors, Epigen spray is recommended not only for treatment, but also for the prevention of many diseases associated with the human genital organs. To avoid the development of papillomas, it is necessary to treat the skin and mucous membranes after each sexual intercourse. When it comes to preventing herpes, you need to first pay attention to the places where rashes most often form.

In cases where the risk of disease is very high, it is necessary to carry out treatment at least 3 times a day. It must be remembered that diseases can be triggered by decreased immunity due to hypothermia, stress, or overheating in damp rooms.

Experts give exclusively positive reviews about Epigen intimate spray. Its distinctive feature is the minimal number of side effects. Doctors note that this drug is usually well tolerated by patients. The only exception may be people with individual intolerance to the components of this product.

If a patient often suffers from various types of allergies, it is possible that after using an intimate spray he will develop urticaria or contact dermatitis. In this regard, Epigen is contraindicated in patients with negative reactions to one or more components, especially to glycyrrhizic acids.

Regarding the use of Epigen spray for children and pregnant women, studies have shown that this medication is absolutely safe for pregnant women. This is due to its exclusively local action and the absence of a significant effect on healthy cells of the body. Thus, Epigen intimate spray during pregnancy is prescribed throughout the entire period. In addition, the spray has no contraindications during breastfeeding.

As for children, there is not enough research. Considering that the effect of Epigen on a fragile body has not been fully studied, the drug cannot be prescribed to small patients.

Epigen intimate spray and other medications

As mentioned above, this drug has shown itself well in complex work. It is often prescribed together with other drugs that have a positive effect in the treatment of gynecological ailments. Epigen spray is compatible even with antibiotics that have antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. This drug enhances the effect of Acyclovir, Interferon and Iodouridine.

Pharmacological properties

Properties of glycyrrhizic acid

Activated glycyrrhizic acid is a substance obtained from the rhizomes of licorice glabra. This plant has medicinal properties, and the resulting acid increases the formation of interferon, an increased amount of which activates the body's immune response against persistent types of pathogens, primarily against viruses.

Gently affecting mucous tissues, the acid does not cause pathological changes in the skin, but rather restores them, destroying various pathogens of pathological processes.

Glycyrrhizic acid is especially active against human papillomavirus, herpes, herpes zoster and cytomegalovirus.

It has the property of inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which leads to the disappearance of tumors and restoration of the skin.

Have a great day everyone! Today I decided to write a short post about my favorite intimate hygiene product - Epigen intimate gel, which I have been using recently. For those who are interested, please see cat.

Composition of the product

Let me start with the fact that intimate hygiene products should contain very soft, non-irritating surfactants (surfactants) that foam and wash away impurities, and in high-quality products, in theory, there should be no sodium lauryl and laureth sulfates at all, which Gives a good lather, but can irritate the skin. This product contains sodium laureth sulfate, but judging by the composition, there is very little of it and was added just for foam.

Almost all intimate gels and mousses contain the main active ingredient in their composition - lactic acid. It acidifies the acid-base balance of the product, making it acidic, because our mucous membranes also have an acidic pH level. A change in pH to alkaline leads to a weakening of the protective function of the mucous membrane, which is why soap should not be used for intimate hygiene - this can cause thrush. In addition, lactic acid prevents irritation and inflammation, and acts as a mild antiseptic.

Many other means are limited to this. If you look closely at the composition of Epigen gel, you can see two more active components - phytosphingosines and activated glycyrrhizic acid, obtained from licorice root extract. Pure glycyrrhizic acid has many studies on its antibacterial effects, reducing skin irritation and redness. That is, it not only prevents lactic acid, but also fights these problems.

Phytosphingosines are natural substances, most often obtained from yeast cells, that have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Glycerin is added for moisturizing effect, and there are no fragrances or dyes in the composition, which is also very good.

The gel itself is a pleasant natural yellow color, thick (but not sticky), and spreads well over the skin. Here's a short photo in daylight.

Expanded opinion:
I have been using Epigen gel for more than a month now, and I can say that I like it much more than other intimate hygiene products that I have tried (and I have only tried Lactacid). It is really very soft and gentle, does not dry out the skin, foams quite well and leaves a pleasant feeling of freshness throughout the day. It has a pleasant natural smell, although there are no fragrances in the composition. With it, I forgot about all the irritation and discomfort that used to occur from time to time, and now I wouldn’t trade it for anything))

Among other things, it is very economical - after a month of daily use, there is still 2/3 of the product left in the bottle. For one use, 1 dose is enough (that is, one press of the dispenser). In general, my rating is a solid five.

Price: 500-600 rubles depending on the pharmacy

Testing period: 1 month
