Reviews
Insty receives mostly good reviews (if the drug is used in compliance with all conditions and indications). Only rarely do negative comments appear, but they are usually associated with the need for more serious therapy with the use of antibiotics and other potent substances.
Often the drug is discussed in connection with its use in pregnant women - doctors prescribe it to this category of patients, because the medicine has a plant-based and therefore cannot have a negative effect on the fetus. But this issue should still be considered controversial - it is necessary to carefully analyze all possible risks of the development of the negative influence of the components of the medicine on the fetus.
Pregnant women in their reviews write that the drug is completely harmless, but is considered banned solely because no clinical testing was conducted with it. In any case, it is necessary to approach the issue of using Insty in pregnant or lactating women with great care.
