Reviews

Helena
Furadonin helped me, but each has an individual disease and needs individual treatment. There is bacterial cystitis - it is a microbe, but there is not bacterial - these are already pathologies of the walls of the bladder, there is interstitial cystitis. Here you need another special treatment by a urologist.
Furadonin is a good drug, but when the disease concerns only infectious-inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract (including pyelonephritis, cystitis) caused by microorganisms that are susceptible to medication. In other cases, when furadonin does not help, individual treatment is required from a specialist. And if furadonin did not help you, do not say that it is a bad drug, it is just possible that other diseases should be selected for your disease.
