Peculiarities
Immunomodulators are medicines that enhance the protective function of the body in the fight against infectious and viral diseases. Medication is prescribed by the attending physician in the event that exposure to infections and viruses can lead to the development of complications.
Immunomodulators for HPV are used if there is a high probability of re-formation of papilloma. A high concentration of the virus in the body must be contained by taking drugs when the immune system can no longer cope with the disease on its own.
Indications for use
Immunomodulators are prescribed to fight the human papillomavirus if:
- a high concentration of the virus in the blood was detected;
- the number of neoplasms on the skin is rapidly increasing;
- after removal of the papilloma, new ones quickly grow;
- outgrowths appeared on the mucous membranes, the external genitalia of a woman, around the anus of a man;
- grade 3 dysplasia was diagnosed.
What is the difference between immunomodulators and immunostimulating drugs?
As a rule, weakening of the immune system occurs due to:
- unbalanced nutrition;
- bad ecology;
- frequent stress;
- wrong way of life;
- the presence of pathological diseases.
The attending physician may prescribe immunomodulating and immunostimulating drugs to increase immunity.
Immunomodulatory drugs are designed to affect the immune system of the body as a whole, so that all its elements work smoothly. As a result, some components are activated, others are suppressed.
What leads to the creation of equilibrium in the work of the system. The action of immunomodulators is aimed at restoring immunity, in the fight against chronic diseases and allergies.
Immunostimulating drugs are used to increase the number of immune cells, thereby activating the immune system as a whole.
Immunity is restored due to the active substances of medicines, regardless of the state of the body’s immune system. The action of immunostimulants is aimed at preventing viral diseases.
Forms and types of drugs to increase immunity
Immunomodulators for HPV are available in the form of:
- tablets;

The composition of immunomodulators for external use usually contains interferon . Usually prescribed at the first stage of treatment before surgery to remove tumors.
Means for external use are applied to the papilloma several times a day. The stage of papilloma removal may not occur if the immunomodulator managed to suppress the virus, which leads to the growth falling off.
The drugs are prescribed for a long course, at least for two weeks. If during this time the neoplasm has not decreased in size, then it must be removed.
After removing the build-up, the attending physician is obliged to re-analyze the concentration of the virus in the blood, a high level of which confirms the need to prescribe a course of taking immunomodulators in tablets.
Preparations in the form of tablets may contain interferon or be based on plant immunostimulants.
