Epigen spray is for topical use. The solution has a characteristic odor and is light yellow or light brown in color.
Epigen Spray is an antiviral drug with an immunostimulating property.
The active substance of the drug is activated glycyrrhizic acid , obtained from plant materials (licorice roots) by extraction. This component has antiviral, immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory, regenerative and antipruritic effects. Thus, a complex effect is achieved. The immunostimulating effect is due to an increase in the activity and number of T-lymphocytes, the concentration of A and M immunoglobulins and a decrease in the content of G-immunoglobulins.
One of the components of the antiviral activity of glycyrrhizic acid is its ability to induce the formation of interferon. In addition, it affects RNA and DNA viruses. The mechanism of action of glycyrrhizic acid is based on the interruption of their replication in the early stages, provoking the exit of the virion capsid. Thus, the possibility of its penetration into the cells is eliminated.
The anti-inflammatory properties of Epigen Spray are combined with stimulating activity in relation to humoral and cellular factors of immunity. The regenerating effect is due to an improvement in the repair of mucous membranes and skin.
