When choosing medicines, pay attention to domestic drugs, which by their properties are not inferior to Western analogues. Take into account, any remedy has contraindications. Before using it, carefully read the instructions. Even better, if you consult a doctor before treating yourself and, especially, the child.
My attitude towards antiviral drugs is quite skeptical. It does not matter whether it's expensive or cheaper. I still can believe that there will be some effect if taken for prophylaxis. Perhaps you will not get sick. But it is not clear how this will affect the immune system in the future. The organism itself must cope. And if I'm sick, I do not see any sense in taking antiviral drugs. More liquid, moisten the air, if necessary, reduce the temperature of paracetamol.
But everyone has their own attitude to health, methods of treatment. Therefore, for whom can these drugs and are effective.
The flu is a very bad thing, and most importantly it can be picked up anywhere. Previously, I always tried to cure him for a long time, and after I found Lavomax, now the flu is treated quickly and easily. A wonderful remedy.
