Description of the preparation and its effect

"Menovazin" - a drug that is designed to neutralize all sorts of pain and helps reduce inflammation. He is often appointed as an "ambulance" for bruises and sprains of ligaments, with radiculitis and osteochondrosis.

Ingredients

The main components of the drug "Menovazin" are:
