Reviews about the drug

Inna, 23 years old, Irkutsk. A gynecologist recommended Epigen spray for the treatment of genital warts, although initially I planned to immediately cauterize these growths . After a month of use at a re-examination, the doctor made me very happy.

It turned out that the condylomas disappeared! To be honest, I did not even expect such a result. I recently found out that Epigen gel for intimate hygiene is also on sale – I will definitely try it too.

Victoria, 48 years old, Ulyanovsk. Problems in the female part have been bothering me for a long 10 years. No matter what drugs I take, thrush constantly appears, from which it is simply impossible to get rid of forever. .

After another trip to the doctor, I bought Epigen spray – a rather harmless remedy with a good composition. I used it for several days, but I didn’t notice much result, only the itching became less pronounced.

Anastasia Malysheva, gynecologist, 8 years of work experience. Glycyrrhizic acid inhibits the activity of viruses, stimulates the production of interferon and activates the immune system, due to which any viral infections quickly recede.

I recommend epigen in the form of a spray for the treatment, prevention and elimination of relapses of papillomavirus, colpitis and candidiasis, since this drug is absolutely safe and most effective.

Dysfunction of the immune system makes the body more vulnerable and susceptible to viral infections. Without timely therapeutic measures, pathology can become chronic and lead to irreversible consequences, so it is important to undergo regular preventive examinations and follow all the recommendations of the attending physician.
