In this autumn-winter-spring, even the thrush did not come to me, let alone other infections that “walk” among women during the cold season. metrogyl saved this happiness. I used it as a warning strike against infections, although I usually know that it is already used to treat post factum. From the experience of a girlfriend, I can say that he treats as well, as it prevents it))
