One type of chlamydia Chlamydia: insidious and widespread disease   called psittacosis or parrot disease (transferred parrots), which is also well treated vilprafenom.

Vilprafen prescribed diseases and sexually transmitted infections, including sexually transmitted diseases at - gonorrhea, syphilis, lymphogranuloma venereum and complications caused by them.

High efficiency manifests vilprafen the treatment of diseases of upper respiratory tract and respiratory system. It is successfully used in the treatment of otitis media, sinusitis, follicular and lacunar angina, exacerbation of chronic tonsillitis Chronic tonsillitis - inflammation of the tonsils , Pharyngitis, laryngitis, bronchitis (including chronic) and pneumonia.

Vilprafenom treatable infectious diseases - diphtheria, whooping cough, anthrax. But it is particularly effective against diseases caused by streptococcal infection - scarlet fever and erysipelas.

Apply vilprafen for the treatment of infectious and inflammatory processes in the oral cavity and in the soft tissues - stomatitis, gingivitis, periodontitis, pustular (including acne), rashes, boils, septic wounds and ulcers, and so on.

When vilprafen contraindicated

Vilprafen - a non-toxic drug, therefore, it has a few contraindications for use. This hypersensitivity to the drug by the patient's body and severe liver diseases, which are accompanied by significant impairment of liver function.

In severe renal chronic renal failure vilprafen recommended to be used with caution under the supervision of laboratory tests.

Can vilprafen have side effects?

Maybe, but very rarely. This usually occurs disorders of the gastrointestinal tract - loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.

Basically, dysbiosis develops in patients who have pre-treatment and bowel problems. Sometimes it leads to a widening of dysbiosis in the gut fungi of the genus Candida, and the development of intestinal candidiasis.

In rare cases, it develops and liver dysfunction from transient increase in liver enzymes to bile stasis and jaundice. Allergic reactions are also possible.

Acyclovir in the form of dispersible tablets and suspensions is an antiviral drug used to treat infections caused by the herpes virus. Among the herpes viruses have species that cause what is often referred to as a cold on the lips and genital herpes (respectively, the virus first and second types), and the virus that is the causative agent of varicella (chickenpox) and herpes zoster.

Acyclovir prevents reproduction of the herpes virus, preventing it from infecting new cells.

How do anti-viral drugs?

Acyclovir is an active ingredient in many anti-viral drugs, such as Zovirax. Penetrating into the herpes virus infected cells, this substance are transformed into a more active form. This activated acyclovir blocked viral enzyme called DNA polymerase.

The DNA polymerase requires the herpes virus to replicate their genetic material of the RNA into DNA. Through this process, the virus can multiply and survive. By blocking the activity of DNA polymerase, acyclovir controls the development of infection and helps the immune system to deal with it.

Acyclovir

Acyclovir is taken orally for the treatment of diseases such as chicken pox Chickenpox: painful, but not dangerous , Shingles Ringworm - not only infectious disease Herpes first and second types; it is also used to prevent herpes in people whose immune system is unable to cope with infections themselves, for example, due to certain diseases or receiving medication. Also available as an ointment acyclovir; it can be used to treat the symptoms of herpes first and second types.

It is necessary to take extra precautions until symptoms disappear. Herpes can not be cured completely, but it is contagious only in the periods of activity that the majority of the carriers of this virus are very rare.

Side effects

The most common side effects of acyclovir (there are, on average, one out of fifty patients): headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain Abdominal pain: Types and Symptoms , Skin reactions (rash and itching), abnormal skin reaction to light (increased sensitivity), weakness, fever. Less often (on average one in five thousand patients) experience the following side effects: shortness of breath, decreased liver function, and allergic reactions - anaphylaxis, swelling of the lips, tongue and throat (angioedema).

Side effects such as decrease in the number of white blood cells (leukopenia), red blood cells (anemia), platelets (thrombocytopenia) in the blood, tremor, ataxia, speech disorders, convulsions, drowsiness, hallucinations, psychotic symptoms, liver inflammation, pain in the kidneys, and kidney failure are less common than one patient out of ten thousand.
