Valentina, 30 years
For several years now, on certain days of the month, Spazmalgon becomes an obligatory inhabitant of my cosmetic bag. Previously, I was suffering from pains in the female part, which interfered with both work and doing household chores. Spazmalgon I take at the first precursors of menstrual pain and in a couple of minutes I already forget that now is the special time of the month.

Meteosensitivity is one of the weak points of my body. With a sharp change in the weather, severe headaches begin. I tried many drugs, but the most pleasant discovery was Spasmalgon. He quickly relieves pain without causing drowsiness. In my responsible work, the absence of this side effect is very important.

The standard analgesic of the desired result does not and does not have antipyretic effect. I take Spazmalgon to simultaneously lower the temperature and eliminate the headache. It helps.
