Opinion of Doctors and Patients
A point of view of practicing professionals and feedback from patients who used OXI solution for rinsing for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.
I prescribe a solution of OCI to my patients for more than a year. With proper administration and application, the medicine gives excellent results. After 2-3 days of taking cough, perspiration, a sore throat, the mucous edema practically go away. Cases of overdose in practice, did not observe, side effects are very rare. The only negative drug I think is cost, because not all patients can afford it.
Olga Ivanovna, physician therapist
For the first time I learned about this solution when I became seriously ill with angina. Because of the severe inflammation of the throat, it was hard to breathe, could not sleep or eat. I gulped my throat with a solution in parallel with taking antibiotics. The positive effect was noticed immediately. For one day of admission the edema has come down, I began to feel much better. Side effects are not noticed. Now this drug is always in our medicine cabinet.
