Reviews about Nazole Kids
Reviews of Nazole Kids are mostly positive. Parents who used the drug to treat children characterize it as an effective and easy-to-use agent that removes swelling of the mucous membrane and nasal congestion, facilitates nasal breathing and does not dry out the nasopharyngeal mucosa.
To the disadvantages of the remedy, many parents of young patients attribute the inconvenience in using the bottle, since in inverted form it is not possible to correctly dose the remedy due to the fact that the solution flows out arbitrarily. Some reviews indicate a very weak and short-term effect of the drug or a complete lack of effect.
