Reviews

• Daria, 28 years old: "The diagnosis of" acute sinusitis "for me sounded very unexpected and not at the right time. I just had a very important business trip, which I could not cancel. I had to be treated in "road" conditions and the "Sumamed" drug helped me a lot. Excellent result, and very quickly and at an affordable price. Local procedures and rinses, I was already at home, but without the antibiotic the disease would not have passed. "
• Alena, 32 years old: "The only complaint to the drug: the amount is not calculated a little, because with fast treatment for three days almost half of the bottle remained unused. The drug is a sign for a long time, we apply it practically to the whole family. To myself and to the husband I buy in tablets or capsules( that in a drugstore is), and here to children it is better to take a suspension. I like the convenient syringe very much, for younger age it is very good to give a preparation that the kid did not spit out. For this, a syringe should not be placed in the center, but on the side, so a child can normally drink it, but it does not get to spit out. "
• Kirill, 41: "I have been suffering for a long time with the sinusitis and have already tried all the means. Usually I try to treat at the first symptoms and folk remedies or local sprays. Last year, this number failed and I had to drink an antibiotic. The doctor recommended "Sumamed" in capsules. It is very convenient that you do not need to take it often enough, just once a day to remember. Sinusitis was relatively rapid, the side effects of the drug, I did not notice. "
