Reviews

We picked up real reviews of people about the drug Decaris:
Natalia
    In 2013, I decided to drink the “Decaris” course according to the following scheme: (1 table, a second week later and another tablet a week later), and so after the second pill the temperature rose, I barely got home from work, I did not have the strength to stand 5 stops in a minibus I wanted to lie on the floor. The temperature was high for more than a week, paracetomol took 7 days and almost 39.5 degrees stayed all the time without falling. The week was on sick leave, weakness and dizziness due to high temperature - this is understandable, there were no other side effects. The third pill (according to the scheme I did not dare to drink, after my recovery. But what’s interesting is that since 2013 I have never suffered ANYTHING, although I constantly had flu with high fever, nozzles, cough and other “pleasures” of the common cold in spring and autumn. This is how it is about my experience. This year I’m thinking of trying to drink Decaris again.
Irina
    About the fact that the drug is strong, I agree, it is terribly harmful to the body. I took it for a whole pill, I immediately began to feel sick, vomiting appeared, dizzy. As the doctor later said, poisoning occurred with the worms of the worms, when they started to die, they spray poisonous substances into the body, and such effects appeared from them.
Anton
    I drank a pill all the rules. nothing hurt, not nauseated. At the exit of parasites it was not noticed) I added a quarter of children's decaris to the cat in the feed, the next day I was horrified by what I saw. A bunch of long worms in feces, fierce horror. Now I do not know how to be friends with a cat (I see in it, a Trojan, a cat with aliens in the intestines.
Kseniya
    I read a lot of bad reviews about this decaris. She was very afraid for her health, but the deed was done. After drinking a tablet, I climbed into the Internet to read reviews. Many wrote that the side effects begin within an hour after taking this medication (vomiting, dizziness, even the sense of smell was disturbed, which completely frightened me). In general, I took a pill 150 mg (and I drank it for prevention) and lay waiting for side effects. An hour passed, a couple of hours, but they did not come. The only thing I encountered after taking decaris is insomnia, but I sin on the fact that it is from excitement. I don’t know why I didn’t have a side job, but I am very glad. Maybe because inside I did not have “enemies”, and maybe because one pill is not enough for my weight. I write and think to repeat the procedure. In general, I can’t say anything bad.
