Patient story
I came for an appointment, the doctor diagnosed shingles, but prescribed the treatment incorrectly. I trusted a candidate of medical sciences.
Liked
The diagnosis was made correctly — shingles.
Disliked
The doctor prescribed oxolinic ointment, interferon 90 and antibiotics. These medications do not treat shingles: oxolin and interferon act against influenza A and B, not against herpes Zoster, acyclovir should have been prescribed. Antibiotics against the virus are also unnecessary, especially with a weakened immune system, which plays a key role in treatment. Vitamins and minerals C, D, Zinc, beta-glucan and the like should have been prescribed. I urge people to engage critical thinking, read the instructions for the prescribed medications and trust, but verify.
