What can replace

Pharmacies always offer an alternative if, for some reason, the prescribed remedy is not entirely satisfactory for a person.

Epigen also has a number of analogues:

• Lactacyd . The tool is recommended for daily use and is more suitable as an addition to Epigen, but it cannot completely replace it due to its property. It has an antibacterial effect, cares for sensitive skin.
• Glitsam or Glycyram . Although the composition is identical (licorice root extract), the drug is used to treat respiratory diseases. Glitsam has a complex antiviral effect on the body, activating the immune system.

Unfortunately, Epigen Intim spray analogues do not have such a wide spectrum of action, so they may not have the desired effect.
