Reviews

Diana
Yes, for three capsules a little expensive. But when it catches in such a way that you do not see the light of white, then you will pay more, just to make it easier. A month ago, I picked up somewhere intestinal flu. The temperature jumped almost under 40, headache, aches in the whole body, and even vomiting almost every hour ... Horror! Thanks to the doctor from the “Nefty”, advised Azitrox. I drank one capsule for the night, and by morning I felt better so that at least dance! But, what made me incredibly happy - my joints, too, became silent (I have rheumatoid arthritis), and for a month now my hands do not hurt at all! So I give Azitrox 5 points!
