Answers Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:

Hello, Elena! Your situation is completely incomprehensible to me. The lymph nodes in the neck have become enlarged - have you seen an ENT specialist and had your throat checked? Using the ELISA method for the presence of antibodies to Ig G, it is impossible to diagnose the presence of torch infection. The presence of Ig G indicates contact with infections in the past and does not require treatment. The diagnosis of “herpes” is made in the presence of characteristic rashes, from which an analysis is taken for PCR diagnostics. Have you experienced any rashes? In the presence of Ig G to toxoplasma, it is also not correct to diagnose “toxoplasmosis”, especially if there has been no contact with domestic animals. If low-grade fever and enlarged lymph nodes have been observed for a month, then I advise you to additionally contact a hematologist. Without a clear diagnosis it is impossible to talk about treatment.

Svetlana asks:

Hello.
The gynecologist diagnosed “chronic cervicitis”, the cause was indicated by the herpes simplex virus, I was tested only by the Ifa method, the result was IgG - 2.7 (positive> 1.1), while other possible causes of the disease were excluded. For three months I took medications according to the regimen, the main ones were Cycloferon, Amixin, Genferon.
Now a month has passed since the end of treatment, I took a second test, the result was not encouraging, Herpes simplex virus type 1/2 IgG-3.5. It turns out that despite the long treatment, the titers have increased and I actually recently had an active stage of the disease? What should I do, do I need to get tested using the PCR method, or perhaps some other method? By the way, for about a year I did not have any rashes on my lips, even during several trips to the sea, although this was usually the norm.

Answers Petrenko Galina Alexandrovna:

Hello Svetlana.
The blood contains antibodies to the herpes virus; an increase in their titer may indicate an exacerbation of the process. Unfortunately, there is no reliable evidence of a complete cure for herpes infection. The virus persists in the nerve ganglia for life, causing rashes on the skin and mucous membranes during periods of exacerbation. The fact that there have been significantly fewer rashes recently is a good prognostic sign.
For a more accurate diagnosis of herpes infection, take a smear to determine the virus using the PCR method and determine the avidity of antibodies.

Daria asks:

Hello!!! I really need your advice!! I’m 28 years old. My first pregnancy 2.5 years ago ended in a miscarriage at 9 weeks (fading was at 5 weeks) risk of miscarriage, spotting, pain) the doctor reacted by prescribing only duphaston, refused hospitalization.. the doctor didn’t clean it after, he said to inject oxytocin. - everything cleared up on its own without consequences.. the reasons for the miscarriage were not determined.. all tests were taken, everything was normal for me and My husband also had herpes (+)!!!
2 years passed which included visits to doctors, all tests, treatment of herpes... but we couldn’t get pregnant... in November 2009 we were treated at a mud bath sanatorium, diagnosed with secondary infertility, adhesions, cystic degeneration of both ovaries.....hormone analysis on the 5th day of the month, testosterone 13.0 - exceeds the norm.. treatment: ovarium according to the scheme for 2 months, abstinence for 2 months, and duphaston from 16-30 days I have been taking it for 3 months... my last MS was 01/24/2010 (conception was from 1 to 12/02/10 )02/18/10 I got sick with the flu for 7 days:

The doctor refused to admit me to hospitalization..she said “don’t be happy”(((...my period could still come or it’s ectopic, so we immediately went for a vaginal ultrasound..result 0..
The doctors thought it was a deformed egg..but they were unsure..they said come back on March 9, we’ll definitely determine if it’s ectopic or not...she refused to take noshpa for pain, replacing them with suppositories Naklofen for 5 days at night..But they are harmful during pregnancy..especially in mine case when I took so many medications...

I read magnesium B6?

Answers Kushniruk Natalya Sergeevna:

Dear Daria,
To conduct a differential diagnosis between a normally developing pregnancy and possible abnormalities, you should take a test to determine the concentration of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in the blood serum 2 times with an interval of 48 hours. An increase in hormone concentration by 2 or more times indicates a developing intrauterine pregnancy. A smaller increase requires repeating the test and careful monitoring of the pregnancy (ultrasound monitoring every 4-7 days (depending on the clinic)). With a subsequent drop in the concentration of the hormone, we can talk about a non-developing pregnancy, and with slow growth and the absence of a fertilized egg in the uterine cavity, an ectopic pregnancy should be suspected.
Suspicion of ectopic pregnancy requires immediate hospitalization in a gynecological hospital.
A diagnostically significant fact is the presence of bloody discharge from the genital tract.
Bloody discharge occurs both when there is a threat of miscarriage, and during frozen and ectopic pregnancy. In addition, in your situation, it is necessary to determine the concentration of progesterone in the blood serum. If it decreases, support with progesterone drugs. In your case, continuing to take progesterone (Duphaston) would not be superfluous, because pregnancy occurred against the backdrop of support for an incomplete luteal phase. Naklofen belongs to the group of NSAIDs (namely, the active ingredient is the drug Diclofenac).
You should have an ultrasound scan with a vaginal sensor to determine the localization and progression of pregnancy using a high-quality ultrasound machine, continue taking Duphaston 10 mg 3 times a day, folic acid supplements at the rate of 400 mcg per day, Viburkol suppositories 1 suppository 2 times a day directly intestine (homeopathic medicine) or Papaverine suppositories, 1 suppository in the rectum at night, maintain sexual and physical rest. You can drink Magne B6 1 ampoule 2-3 times a day, after dissolving in 1/2 glass of juice, drink after meals for 7 days. If the drug causes nausea, replace 1 ampoule with 2 tablets. Eat often, exclude chocolate, coffee, black tea, cola, mint, lemon balm, viburnum, fatty, fried, smoked foods from your diet. Drink up to 2.5 liters of liquid without gas per day.
Don’t worry about your temperature up to 37.5C, it is typical for early pregnancy (hyperthermic effects of progesterone).
ARVI in early, as well as in later stages of pregnancy, is not good. The consequences may be different. We just have to wait until we get the results of the hormones and ultrasound.
To calm yourself down a little, take 1 tablet of Valerian (not Persen) 3 times a day, and get ready for good results. Remember that a lot depends on your peace of mind.
In case of a negative result (frozen pregnancy), you will need to karyotype the abortion material (up to 80% of early pregnancy terminations occur due to chromosomal pathology). In case of deviations from the norm, perform karyotyping of both spouses.
It is necessary to examine your immune and hormonal status, to exclude inflammatory processes in the genital organs.

Asks Oksana, 41 years old. :

My throat has been hurting for 2 weeks now. I took 2 antibiotics. Before that, I underwent computer diagnostics. The doctor discovered streptococci... I underwent treatment on the computer. But the sore throat remained, and no streptococci were found during repeated testing. Enlarged lymph nodes. Epstein-Barr herpes virus was detected. The doctor prescribed the drug AMIXIN. I have no strength, my throat hurts. What can you do? Since rinsing (with Myramistim, Propolus, Chrolophyllipt) does not really help, the pain wanders, then goes away, and the next day the throat begins to hurt again, but the lesions in the throat change, sometimes more on the left, sometimes on the right. I constantly feel a spasm in my throat. They also discovered a virus in the sciatic nerve (my leg goes numb). How long does this disease last? How can I cure this infection with minimal cost? In the family, the children felt like a cold, the daughter just felt a sore throat, the son suffered from an acute respiratory viral infection. Tell me. what is the best thing to do in my case and how to relieve the severe pain in my throat since it hurts to speak. Not to mention what to swallow. All the best. I'm waiting for some kind of recommendation.

Answers Baby Olga Vladimirovna:

Dear Oksana! It’s bad that you don’t write which tests for the Epstein-Barr virus are positive, is it an acute infection or an exacerbation of a chronic one, where was the virus identified? by what method? How to treat it depends on this. Amiksin is a good, proven drug, but if the infection is active and really affects the nervous system (neuritis), then it may not be enough. Be sure to continue rinsing and local medications (but which do not dry out the mucous membranes), be sure to dissolve Lisobakt 1t 4 times a day in the oral cavity, there is little information for specific recommendations on antiviral therapy.
The course of the disease has many options, as well as its duration and consequences, all this very much depends on the state of the immune system, which can also be checked with special tests

When taking an antiviral drug and alcohol in parallel, one of the two substances will enter the body without having time to be processed, since the liver cannot cope with such a load. As a result, a number of side effects can occur: intoxication, allergic reactions and dysfunction of the digestive system.

Treatment with Amiksin and alcohol consumption are incompatible. The possibility of drinking alcohol-containing drinks begins 48 hours after the course has been completed.

Compatible with antibiotics. The immunomodulator and antiviral agent can be taken in combination with other medications and antibiotics.

What's better?

Comparative analysis of Amiksin with its analogues.

Amiksin or Lavomax

Medicines with the same functions and active ingredients have similar indications and side effects. Even their prices are not much different. But Lavomax is inferior in dosage, since it is available in only 0.125 g, and it is allowed to be taken only upon reaching 18 years of age. Additional components of medicines also differ. Lavomax contains sucrose and beeswax, which excludes its use for some patients, for example, patients with diabetes.

Amiksin or Ingavirin

Both drugs are used to treat colds and flu, but their composition and effect differ. The main feature of antiviral drugs is their additional properties: Ingavirin has anti-inflammatory properties, Amiksin has immunomodulatory properties. The range of diseases for which Amkisin is used is wider.

Cycloferon or Amiksin

Drugs that have a general immunomodulatory antiviral effect have different active ingredients and auxiliary components. The indications for the medications are identical, but the list of side effects and contraindications for Cycloferon is longer. When choosing a medication, you should pay attention to the age and individual characteristics of the body.

Arbidol or Amiksin

These are not structural analogues; their active components are different. Amiksin, unlike Arbidol, has a larger list of indications. The advantages of Arbidol tablets, capsules and syrup are the variety of release forms and age restrictions - the drug is approved from 3 years.

Ergoferon or Amiksin

The mechanism of action of the drugs is different, as is their proven effectiveness: Amiksin has passed clinical testing, Ergoferon has not.

Kagocel or Amiksin

Medicines of the same pharmacological group and with a similar mechanism of action have different effects. Interferon penetrates into the blood after taking Kagocel after 48 hours, Amiksin - after 24 hours. In the case of treating children, Kagocel can be given to children from 3 years of age. Amiksin is more relevant for the prevention of ARVI and influenza.

The drug "Amiksin" against herpes has been used recently, but is very effective. The virus cannot be completely removed from the body, so the effect of the drug is primarily aimed at stopping it, eliminating unpleasant symptoms, as well as preventing further spread and complications. Before using the medicine, you should consult a doctor, since it is not suitable for all categories of people and sometimes causes side effects.

Composition and release form

Without timely treatment, the herpes virus severely suppresses the immune system, which, in turn, causes pathologies of a physiological, psychosomatic and even reproductive nature.

An indicator of the effectiveness of a drug is its ability to increase the period of remission, thereby protecting not only the patient, but also those around him, since in the active phase the herpes virus is contagious. "Amiksin" is one of the most successful antiviral drugs that meet these parameters, which promotes the intensive production of endogenous interferon, thereby strengthening the immune system.

"Amiksin" is a synthetic low-molecular immunomodulator, which is produced in the form of round tablets for children and adults. Accordingly, it is produced in 2 dosages - “Amiksin” 60 mg and 125 mg, and is packaged in 6 or 10 pieces per package. The active ingredient of the drug is tilorone. In addition to it, the tablets contain various components:

Vaseline oil;
polyvinylpyrrolidone;
magnesium carbonate;
sugar;
titanium dioxide;
Aerosil;
beeswax;
talc;
calcium stearate;
gelatin.

What is Amiksin prescribed for?

During therapy, taking this drug every day is not necessary.

The drug is used to relieve herpes viruses independently and as part of complex therapy, including with antibiotics. The medicine is characterized by extensive action. It is aimed at combating various bacterial and viral infections. The effect of the medicine provokes the activation of the body’s own immune reserves and is prolonged. The drug is used for the prevention and treatment of various pathologies, such as:

labile and genital herpes;
tuberculosis;
flu;
secondary immunodeficiency;
meningitis;
hepatitis types A, C and B;
chlamydia;
acute respiratory viral infection;
encephalitis.

The drug is also prescribed after immunosuppressive procedures:

chemotherapy;
surgical intervention;
irradiation.

Instructions for use, dosage of "Amiksin" for herpes

The course of treatment, dosage and method of administration depend on the type of herpes. Features of treatment in adult patients are indicated in the table:

"Amiksin" can be purchased at the pharmacy yourself, and immediately before use it is recommended to consult with your doctor.

In case of relapse of genital herpes, a multi-stage scheme is used:

1st stage. For the first 2 days, the medicine should be taken at 0.25 g, followed by 0.125 g every 24 hours for 2 weeks.
2nd stage. 1 time every seven days, 0.125 g. Course 2 months.
3rd stage. It begins 2 months after the complete disappearance of symptoms. It does not include taking pills, but consists of 5 injections of a polyvalent herpes vaccine, 0.2 ml every 3-4 days, then every 10 days.
4th stage. Tablets must be taken once every 7 days, 0.125 g, for two months, along with antiherpetic injections.

At the moment, Amiksin is considered the most powerful stimulator of endogenous interferon production.

For the treatment of children over 7 years of age, tablets containing 0.06 g of active substance are used. Amiksin therapy is individual in each case and depends on the characteristics of the child, as well as the specific course of the disease. The instructions for use of the drug indicate that it can be used exclusively for prophylactic purposes, as well as for the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza viruses. In all other cases, similar medications are used to treat infectious diseases in children.
