Description
What Are Instillagel Pre-Filled Syringes?
Instillagel is a topical medication that is used to treat genital herpes. It comes in a pre-filled syringe, making it easy to use. When applied to the genitals, Instillagel can help reduce symptoms and make it less likely to spread. It is not a cure for genital herpes, but it can help improve the quality of life.
How Does Instillar Work?
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can cause painful sores on the genitals and surrounding areas. It's caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which comes in two forms: HSV-1, which typically causes cold sores around the mouth, and HSV-2, which more commonly causes genital herpes. There is no cure for genital herpes, but there are treatments that can reduce symptoms and make it less likely to spread. One such treatment is Instillagel Pre-filled Syringes, a prescription medication that comes in a pre-filled syringe. Instillagel pre-filled syringes are medical devices that contain a dose of medication or other fluid which is ready for injection. It helps to reduce the pain and inflammation caused by genital herpes lesions. It also helps to shorten the healing time of lesions.
