Reviews

Helena
I used Naphtizin for a whole month every year (seasonal allergy), many times a day (strong manifestations), ignoring the instructions (there were no forces). No harm happened. As soon as the flowering of “my” grass ended, the runny nose ceased (quickly and completely) and there were never residual effects from a prolonged edema or from Naphtizin. Used for many years. Believe it or not, don’t believe it. I don’t confuse anything and I write the pure truth.
