Reviews of doctors and patients
Igor:
Assigned Immunomax after revealing genital herpes, which had already tried unsuccessfully to treat Cycloferon, Acyclovir, etc. After the course of Immunomax, the rashes gradually began to disappear, now everything has passed. There were no rashes yet, so I'm happy.
Tatiana:
I have HPV, and new papillomas are constantly appearing. We have this family. I tried to remove the celandine( I bought acid in the pharmacy), so I only made scars. I already despaired, until I tried Immunomax. I pierced the course, as in the instruction, that is, with a 3-day break. As a result, small rashes completely disappeared, and large steel is much smaller. The main thing is that new ones no longer appear. I want to pierce a course in six months. The drug is happy.
Elena:
And I suffered from Immunomax, after the course of treatment all the body's activity failed, especially the endocrine system. The hormonal background was seriously disrupted. Now I am treating the consequences of treatment with this drug. Many say that Immunomax has not yet been fully studied, you do not know who to believe. In general, the drug is disappointed.
Andrey Vikteev, dermatovenerologist:
Many patients claim that after treatment with the drug Immunomax they have new health problems. But the reason for this, most likely, is quite different. The drug activates the immune activity, which starts a lot of other processes in the body. The result of this and may be some changes, but this is not a side effect of the drug Immunomax. This is a natural reaction of the body. Any immunomodulating and immunostimulating drug can provoke a similar reaction. Therefore, prior to appointment, a competent study of the patient's history is necessary.
