Epigen spray

Epigen spray is for topical use. The solution has a characteristic smell and a light yellow or light brown color.

Epigen spray is an antiviral drug that has an immunostimulating property.

The active substance of the drug is glycyrrhizic acid, activated, obtained from plant raw materials (licorice roots) by extraction. This component has antiviral, immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory, regenerative and antipruritic effects. Thus, a complex influence is realized. Immunostimulating effect is caused by an increase in the activity and number of T-lymphocytes, concentrations of A and M immunoglobulins and a decrease in the content of G-immunoglobulins.

One of the components of antiviral activity of glycyrrhizic acid is its ability to induce the formation of interferon. In addition, it affects the RNA and DNA-containing viruses. The mechanism of action of glycyrrhizic acid is based on the interruption of their replication in the early stages, provoking the exit from the virion capsid. Thus, the possibility of its penetration into cells is eliminated.

Anti-inflammatory properties of the preparation Epigen spray combined with stimulating activity in relation to the humoral and cellular factors of immunity. The regenerating effect is due to improved mucosal and skin repair.
