Such a drug definitely does not need advertising, it is a real savior during festive feasts. After overeating, I always take Mezim, he quickly removes the feeling of heaviness and other unpleasant symptoms. If you buy the drug without a doctor’s prescription, just 1 tablet before eating and digestion suffers, it certainly won’t.
Vladimir
Usually I do not allow myself to overeat to the extent that I have to drink pills. But the last family feast made me do it. A relative quickly gave me Mezim and after about 15 minutes I realized that the discomfort had really passed. Now I always take this drug for reinsurance with me for feasts.
