Reviews

Diana
My child is allergic and for the past 12 years we have been experiencing this disease. That rhinitis, then dermatitis - we are tired of fighting. At first they used “Suprastin”, but it caused severe drowsiness. Gradually switched to "Cetirizine" and I can say that this is an excellent tool. Symptoms disappear quickly and without any side effects.
