Reviews

We offer you to get acquainted with the opinions of people who used the Snoop spray:

1. Sonia. In general, the drops are good, which is inexpensive by the way. I use only a cold for them, but there is one big disadvantage. They are addictive with long use. Even if the rhinitis is no more, the nose still pawns. So to speak, irritates mucous and there is dryness in the nose. And you have to stop using them and tolerate them until it passes, so that you can again breathe normally, that is, addictiveness comes. And if you continue to use, then from SNPA and do not refuse, you have to sprinkle every morning, or even in the daytime.
2. Lisa. The first time I bought Snoop, because this is Spanish production, it should be quality. Now I am treated only with this drug, and my cold happens often, especially in cold weather. I can name a couple of other good drops for the nose, but Snoop begins to act in a minute. I have never received such an effect. Still Snoop does not flow into the throat, this is also a plus.
3. Natalia. I use Snoop during the runny nose always, because it helps well, the stuffiness is almost instantaneous, and it lasts a long time, I had six or eight hours. I have diabetes, the annotation states that it should be used with caution, I did not feel any changes in the condition, sugar in my blood did not rise, I think that you can continue to use it, there will be no harm! The cost is quite real, you can buy without hesitation, for me it's easier to use spray, it's much more convenient than drops, pshik and again you breathe easily!
