Sometimes it is very difficult for a weak body to resist various infectious diseases, which become more and more every day. Thanks to modern medical preparations, a reliable barrier to infection can be created.
Such an antiviral immunomodulating drug, intended for both children and adults, are Viferon suppositories based on interferon. This drug is most often prescribed as an adjunct along with other pharmacological drugs for viral infectious diseases, which include acute respiratory viral infections, pneumonia, meningitis, herpes, mumps, cytomegalovirus, papillomavirus, enterovirus, and the presence of chlamydia, mycoplasmosis is considered as an indication for use, trichomoniasis and other infectious and inflammatory diseases.
In pediatrics, Viferon suppositories are considered effective and effective, since they can be used in children with diseases, starting from infancy. In addition, they are safe even for premature babies. The form of suppositories is convenient not only because they are easy enough to enter into the patient’s body, but also because the drug circulates in the blood much longer than when taking the tablets.
You can buy a medicine in the form of suppositories and Viferon ointments, tablets of this drug are produced in a bullet-shaped yellow-white color. The ointment, in addition to the main active substance of interferon, also includes tocopherol acetate, lanolin and petrolatum. The dosage of the drug and the duration of treatment are prescribed only by the attending physician, depending on the age of the patient, the type and complexity of the disease.
Viferon suppositories help strengthen a weakened body, raising immunity, create reliable protection against many viruses and infections. Medical practice shows that this drug is easily tolerated by children, so many parents resort to the independent use of Viferon virus treatment .

Suppositories for genital herpes, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, cytomegalovirus disease, gardnerellosis, trichomoniasis, vaginosis, papilloma virus, mycoplasmosis and vaginal candidiasis are used.
Also, quite often, doctors recommend applying Viferon suppositories to a pregnant woman with an insufficient amount of produced interferon by their own body.

These include Interal, Interferon, human leukocyte dry and liquid, and others. Viferon may be contraindicated in people with hypersensitivity to its component - cocoa butter.
