Patient Reviews

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

Olesya. Assigned to the child with a delay in speech development. Accepted as a solution inside twice a day for 2.5 ml. I had very high hopes for him, but alas, the effect is zero. There was no progress in speech and thinking. In addition, it is expensive, the course took a few bottles, which was palpably on the family budget. Of the pobachek note small inhibition of the nervous system, although the drug on the contrary, it should.
Sasha. The doctor-neurologist has registered Cerakson nyxes - 15 times + a sachet 2 months. There was a cerebral infarction 6.5 months ago. It recovered fairly quickly, but memory deteriorated (in this regard, and prescribed). I used 4 injections and decided not to take any more. with each reception worsens sleep (it is difficult to fall asleep, sleep becomes intermittent and constantly wake up throughout the night), tonight all woke up awake (this has never happened), depression is growing.
Svetlana. We had a premature baby. In the department of newborn pathology, we were assigned "Ceraxon". The child immediately changed for the worse, became very restless. I did not immediately associate this with the "Ceraxon", because I took many drugs, and did not understand anything then. The roped course. The condition of the daughter only worsened. So it was three times, until I guessed from what. It turned out that it was a convulsive readiness, which this medicine provokes. Although it influenced very many children positively. We did not fit. Now on the anticonvulsants.
