Reviews

Svetlana, 33 years old
Odeston tablets were prescribed for me for a 2-week course with a diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis. I took 1 tablet 3 times a day. The effect appeared almost instantly. Already on the 3rd day of treatment, nausea and heartburn disappeared, the stool returned to normal, the discomfort under the right rib practically disappeared. After a month of treatment, all the symptoms disappeared altogether. Now, as soon as I break the diet, she begins to feel sick, or is bothered by heartburn, I drink 1 tablet and everything goes away. Until the time when I was prescribed Odeston, I took Allohol, Hofitol. The drugs are also not bad, but they act slowly. I am satisfied with the result of treatment with Odeston, relapse of the disease has significantly decreased!

I have never had problems with the gallbladder, but once there was a sharp pain under the right rib, nausea, vomiting of bile. I had to call an ambulance. After the examination, the clinic diagnosed me with cholangitis (inflammation of the bile ducts), prescribed a diet, and medications, including Odeston. He was taken for 2 weeks. It became much easier and a control examination showed that everything had returned to normal!
