Reviews

Elena. I consider the plaster Versis as a very good tool, I myself suffer from radiculitis, which often worsens, especially in the cold season. Usually on such days I stayed at home, did not go to work and ate tablets. But then one of my friends "in misfortune" advised me this plaster, I did not really expect the effect, but the acquisition was one of the best in my life. It's not an exaggeration, those who often suffer from such pain will understand me. Well, this plaster can be worn during the day, and the back ceases to hurt very quickly. After removing the patch, the effect lasts several hours. The plaster is large enough, enough for the back, no side effects were observed, but I have been using it for a long time.
Maria. At me the grandmother this plaster Версатис buys some time (more precisely I to her buy it), at it or her there are often exacerbations of a radiculitis, and this plaster the pain very quickly removes, the only thing that helps her, because she can not drink tablets because of her health condition, and there is no problem with the plaster.
Ira. I've never heard of this plaster until I went to the sea in the spring and I chilled my knees. It hurt me to bend them, regardless of whether I was sitting or standing. On the management of the car, which my husband and I rented, during this period there could be no question, because at any moment I could become very bad from the sharp movement of the foot. After the first application I felt much better, but I continued to take the medicine, since the doctor prescribed a longer course.
