Customer feedback on the use of pectolvan syrup

Cough syrup "Pectolvan" is very popular due to its efficiency and low cost, compared to European counterparts.

In addition to the price, buyers note some more advantages of the drug:

• Pleasant taste and smell;
• Vegetable origin of the preparation;
• The ability to treat both adults and a one-year-old child with the same syrup;
• No side effects after taking the drug;
• Availability of convenient measuring capacity in the package;
• Rapid action of the drug (in many cases, the effect is observed after three days);
• The absence of any dyes and alcohol in the syrup.

Among the minuses in most cases, there is only one: a short period of storage of the drug after opening the package. Therefore, buyers call it "disposable", because until the next cold, the syrup can be unhealthy to use. But to justify this remedy, we can say that this situation is observed with many medicines, and some of them are much more expensive than Pektolvan syrup. Be healthy!
