Composition (per the instructions for use)

Per 100 ml:

• tufted hair-grass herb dry extract
• wood small-reed herb dry extract
• echinacea flower head dry extract

Excipients: ethyl alcohol 96%.

Directions and dosage (per the instructions for use)

Orally, with the drops applied to a piece of sugar or bread. Adults: week 1 — 5 drops 3 times a day; weeks 2–3 — 10 drops 3 times a day; week 4 — 8 drops 3 times a day. The course may be repeated after 1 month.

Because the product contains not less than 85% ethyl alcohol, for children under 6 years the required amount is diluted with sugar in 50 ml of boiled water.

For herpetic lesions of the skin and mucous membranes, compresses with the product are applied to the affected area 3–5 times a day (1.5 ml of the product per 10 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution).

Regimens for chronic herpes infection, viral hepatitis B and C, and genital herpes are given in the instructions for use.

Special instructions (per the instructions for use)

In viral hepatitis, 10–15% of patients with marked cytolytic syndrome show increased aminotransferase activity (less often, increased bilirubin), which does not significantly affect recovery processes in the liver and does not require discontinuation of the product. No negative effect on the performance of potentially hazardous activities requiring special attention and quick reactions has been identified.
