Lubov, 37 years old
Otitis media is my eternal problem. One has only to chill the ears a little, then inflammation immediately appears. I try not to start the disease, but to treat it right away. For a long time I could not find a drug that would suit me. Often, against the background of the use of drops, itching, burning, swelling appeared. About 2 years ago, the doctor prescribed Normax. The drug came up 100%, did not cause any side effects. Now only I am saved. I recommend to everyone!
Gennady, 40 years old
This winter he suffered a severe flu that caused complications in one ear. At first I did not pay attention to the congestion, but when there was a terrible pain, I signed up to the otolaryngologist. The doctor scolded me and said that I would have had to be treated in a hospital a little more. He prescribed Normax drops and an antibiotic (tablets). This comprehensive treatment helped quickly. I felt relief on the second day. I hope that otitis media will not appear again. But at the first symptoms of the disease, only drops will drip.

After 3 days, the disease completely receded. I recommend these effective drops to everyone.

Normax is an excellent drug. I met him several years ago, when otitis media did not respond to cheap therapy. With these drops, complete recovery came. They relieved pain, inflammation, congestion, discomfort. The solution is used by my daughter and her children when their ears get cold. I advise everyone to take a closer look at Normax. A big plus is the detailed instructions for use and the price is affordable. I recommend to everyone! But it must be borne in mind that drops can cause Quincke's edema, itching and rash.
