Reviews

We picked up some reviews of people who used the drug Pinosol:

1. Anton. The drops are good. They help with coughing and colds. Only it is necessary to take into account that if the disease is started, then it is hard to do alone with pinosol. They helped me often, but the last time I started to drip them late, the infection had already spread and I received bilateral sinusitis. And the oil makes it difficult to release mucus.
2. Eugene. I use this drug from adolescence. It helps me perfectly, it does not cause any addiction. The aroma is pleasant, unobtrusive. A separate plus for budget and availability. I do not often get sick, but I always refer to this spray for help in treating a cold.
3. Irina. The drug is good! But little is written about side effects. I almost gasped. Dripped three times a day for three days, after not slept for two nights and was tormented by the fact that I was suffocating. The cough was dry and tearing all the organs, my head ached so that I could not see or hear anyone. Intuition prompted me to abandon Pinosol. But before that I really helped!
