One of such strengthening means is Corilip, which is produced in the form of rectal suppositories. How is it useful for kids and when used in children?

Operating principle
Candles Corilip celebrate tonic effect. Such a drug has a positive effect on metabolic processes in tissues, and its components enhance the effects of each other:
- Cocarboxylase is a coenzyme involved in the conversion of keto acids, carbohydrate metabolism, the synthesis of protein molecules, fats and nucleic acids. Such a compound is noted for its ability to activate metabolism in tissues, eliminate cellular hypoxia and metabolic acidosis. Cocarboxylase is useful in diseases of the heart, kidneys, or liver.
- Riboflavin, which is also called vitamin B2, also plays the role of a coenzyme in redox reactions. Such a useful substance is involved in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. In addition, this vitamin is important for maintaining the condition of the mucous membranes and skin, visual function and the formation of hemoglobin.
- Lipoic acid is necessary for oxidative reactions and the exchange of keto acids, as well as for the regulation of metabolic transformations of carbohydrates and fats. Such a connection is also important for the formation of energy and improves liver function. This acid protects liver cells from both external toxic effects and toxins formed inside the body.

Reviews
On the use of candles Korilip in children there are a lot of positive reviews. In them, mothers call this tool an excellent alternative to injections and note that there are practically no adverse reactions to suppositories. To use such a medicine, according to moms, is quite simple, even for the youngest children. The drug is praised for its composition and beneficial effects on the children's body.
Analogs
A complete analogue of the drug are candles Korilip Neo. They are also represented by yellow elongated suppositories of 10 pieces in one pack, which are sold by prescription. They have the same indications for use and the same contraindications. The drug is approved from birth and is often used with insufficiently active weight gain, reduced immunity, somatic diseases or infections.
The main difference between Corilip Neo is the lower dosage of the active ingredients, therefore, such suppositories are most in demand in children up to a year. Riboflavin in one candle Neo is represented by a dosage of 1 mg, lipoic acid is contained in the amount of 6 mg, and cocarboxylase in a dose of 12.5 mg.
The use of such a tool eliminates the need to cut the candle Korilip into halves. The drug is introduced into the anus to a child younger than a year every day for 10 days once a day. After such a course, as with the use of Korilip's candles, a 20-day break is taken, after which the remedy can be applied again (another 2-3 courses).
Instead of Korilip, a frequently ill child or during the recovery period, the doctor may also recommend various immunomodulating agents, for example:
- Candles Galavitwhich apply from 6 years of age.
- Drops or spray Derinat, appointed at any age.
- Nasal spray IRS-19, allowed from 3 months.
- Tablets in the shell of Cycloferon, used from 4 years.
- Candles Imunofanwho are discharged from 2 years of age.
Such funds and other drugs that affect the immune system should not be used without consulting a doctor, because they have different active components, and the child may have contraindications to their use. Therefore, all doctors (and among them Dr. Komarovsky) advise not to give any immunomodulators without a pediatrician examination.
