Reviews

We picked up some responses from people who took Lazolvan syrup:

1. Olya. Lazolvanom we were treated for coughing in the hospital, when my son and I got there because of laryngospasm. He drank it with difficulty, he said, bitter (although in my opinion - luscious). At home, the pediatrician told us to be treated with a joset, because he relieves spasms, and we tend to them. Maybe the case is different, or maybe because it's complex, but the joset helped faster.
2. Tina. I gave my child a coughing laziness, we drank this syrup for a long time, but he absolutely did not help us. Until now, this bottle is standing and I do not even know who can come in handy. Although the drug is not the cheapest of antitussive drugs, but the sense of it is not enough.
3. Artem. I coughed for a year, I hardly slept, I applied a lot - it's useless. Has passed or has taken place full inspection, including a comp. tomography. On snot, sorry, I spent all the scarves and two sheets. But I took Lazolvan's solution three times inside - a sore throat, a cough and discharge immediately stopped. Thanks to the developers useful. (By the way, ACS sharply reduces urinary retention, eladon significantly improves urination).
