Reviews

We offer to read reviews of people who used the drug Rinikold:

Pauline. Not very common medicine, and expensive, especially in syrup. From paracetamol differs in that it does not just reduce the temperature, contains also phenylephrine, chlorpheniramine and caffeine, treats acute respiratory disease. And with the usual paracetamol, you increase the risk of complications.
Andrei. In the winter time it's pretty hard to stay in the "ranks". In transport and strive to sneeze in your direction and the next morning you lie with the temperature. I did not try how many cold remedies, but everywhere the result was 3-4 days on the sick-list. On the advice of his wife, decided to try to heal Rinikold, used 2 tablets every 6 hours. In the morning the temperature subsided and the listlessness disappeared, by the evening there was an appetite and the next day I was able to go to work. At work, for the prevention of disease, I drank another 2 days for 1 tablet a day. Disease "as a hand took off," that's how I was rescued by Rinikold.
Denis. Of all expectorants, I like the rhinicold bronchus most. At first. the price is quite affordable, which in our time is important. secondly, it acts not only on dilution of sputum, but also the general condition facilitates - a runny nose is smaller, the headache and frustration go away. Well and the main thing - a sputum quickly departs, and the cough to excruciate ceases.
