Reviews

Reviews of the drug demonstrate that patients are satisfied with its effect. Among the advantages are the naturalness of the preparation, as well as the fact that it can be made from it as a tincture for oral administration, as well as a means for inhalation, irrigation, rinses and lotions - the variability of the drug is considered to be its important feature.

It was noted that the drug helps to soften the throat and ease cough in the chronic form of bronchitis, and in addition to improve the condition from the first day of use.

Elecasol is often used for the treatment of children - for oral ingestion or washing of the nose, as well as for inhalations.

All these reviews make it possible to call the drug a very effective adjuvant in the treatment of infectious-type pathologies. But it is important to remember that the main therapeutic course is appointed by the treating doctor, which usually includes the use of various drugs (among them anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics and others), so you can not expect that Elecasol will help to eliminate any infectious disease. As a result of such treatment, complications are most likely to occur, and the desired effect will not be manifested.

Shelf life

Elecacol is allowed to be used in the period of 3 years from the date of manufacture of the drug. Ready tincture may be stored no more than 2 days.
