Reviews

Olga
They prescribed it for ureplazmoz, they said they should drink 10 days, but I read that you need to drink 2 days for ureplazmoz 2 tablets, I decided to drink a week, especially since the first days were very bad, nausea, pain in the intestines, it was dysbacteriosis. but I took these pills (not counting the first days) rather calmly, taking Hilak forte 40 drops before each meal + Unidox pill (if you drink it immediately before eating, then there is practically no nausea) and 2 capsules of Linex after eating; also at night a glass of acidophilus or kefir. if you will all follow this “diet” for 7 days, you will take this drug safely!
