Negative people reviews
Unfortunately, the drug “Laferobion” also has negative responses. But, fortunately, their number is so insignificant that it easily overlaps with positive reviews. The fact is that negative opinions are left by those parents who misused this tool. So, many mothers and fathers put these candles when the children had already developed an active form of the disease: a daughter or son had been lying with fever for two days, and had runny nose and cough. It is not surprising that Laferobion did not help them in this case. Indeed, in such a situation, the tool is useless. And you need to know about this. The drug is effective only at the initial stage of the appearance of ailments. Laferobion candles are inherently protective and prophylactic. And if the child already has a nose, there is a temperature and a whole bunch of catarrhal symptoms, then taking this drug makes no sense. Indeed, viruses in this case already feel great in the body, and interferon (a substance of protein origin, which is secreted by healthy cells) already does not penetrate infected cells.
And if the cells are still healthy and they will be filled with this substance, then they will not let the viruses in for their further reproduction, and the remaining infected ones will be so small that the body simply eliminates them. Therefore, the child will be ill in a very weak form, or even a cold will be invisible.
Now you know a lot of interesting and important information about Laferobion. Candles, instructions for children on the use of which must be included in the package with the medication, for many parents is a real salvation at the initial stage of a cold in their sons and daughters. After all, the drug is able to suppress viruses in the first days of the onset of SARS, and the very next day the child will feel better, if not excellent. Therefore, parents should take note and, if possible, purchase Laferobion candles for their children, buying at the same time those suppositories that correspond to the age of their boy or girl.
