Drug interaction
At the heart of medicines, natural or synthetic origin, is a complex formula of chemical elements. The simultaneous use of several drugs sometimes leads to an undesirable reaction of them with each other.

With pharmaceutical drugs

Reviews about the use of the medicine
Tatiana, 26 years old.Redness formed on my upper lip and herpes appeared. The remedy for his treatment, which I found at home, did not help. I bought Panavir gel on the recommendation of a friend who already used it. Herpes went down in a couple of days, but that’s not the most interesting thing. I had a flat wart next to my lip .
I wanted to reduce it with chemical burning or nitrogen, but I was afraid of a scar in a conspicuous place. When I treated herpes, along the way I lubricated the wart. And what do you think? The wart brightened and decreased in size, and it was noticeable to the naked eye.
I continued processing. After two weeks, the wart became almost invisible, and then disappeared completely. In the same way, I reduced the filiform papilloma in the neck, she left in 8 days. It was amazing.
But then I read reviews about the Panavir gel and found out that people praise the medicine. Therefore, of course, I recommend this wonderful remedy to everyone, not only as an ointment for herpes, but also for the destruction of warts.
Galina Antonova. I bought Panavir gel for my son, he was recommended by a dermatologist. In the kindergarten, all sorts of colds stuck to the child, he weakened, and finally, a lump appeared on his finger, which turned out to be a wart.
We applied Panavir to the wart in the morning and in the evening, only twice a day. The doctor added cycloferon to the gel treatment, which we took according to the scheme.
At the next appointment, the doctor noted that there were no changes, but I decided to continue the gel treatment, the doctor also agreed with me that more time was needed for therapy.
After some time, the wart took on a terrible shabby, shaggy appearance, but the process went much faster. It began to collapse from the center, and the torn edges dried up. Two weeks later, there was no trace of the wart.
In general, the treatment took a month and a half and 2 tubes of gel 3g each. Panavir I did not regret and spent plentifully. It’s good that I didn’t have to remove the wart, the child is still small, it’s stressful for him.
Larisa Nikolaevna. I decided to write my experience about getting rid of warts. I suffered from plantar warts on my right foot – such discomfort, just terrible. I have tried different methods of treatment. Used celandine and other folk remedies . Useless.
Tried ointments – did not help. I can’t remove warts, I live in a village where such medical services are not available. On the Internet I came across Panavir. I read it, bought the medicine, smeared it for 10 days – but alas. I went to the local doctor. The next day the doctor suggested combined treatment.
As a result, after two weeks, the warts left memories. Treatment regimen: intravenous injections of Panavir, 5 pcs, every other day + application of Panavir gel on warts daily, 4 times a day. I suffered so much, but it turned out to be so easy to cure. Excellent medicine.
