Reviews about Revalid
Reviews about Revalid are mostly positive. Patients who have used the multivitamin preparation for hair write that it stops hair loss, significantly improves growth, structure and appearance, and makes hair shine. Judging by the reviews, Revalid is also effective in relation to nails: it strengthens them and accelerates growth. The additional advantages of the drug include a qualitatively selected balanced composition and its good tolerance, and the disadvantages include the high cost of capsules required for the full course of treatment.
Some reviews describe the insufficient effectiveness of Revalid: the drug had a positive effect on the nails, but did not affect the hair, or vice versa. This, in the opinion of most women, is a disadvantage, since they wanted to find a vitamin complex for both nails and hair.
Some negative reviews contain complaints either about the development of side effects, or the complete lack of effect from taking Revalid.
Price for Revalid in pharmacies
The approximate price of Revalid for a pack of 30 capsules is 477-574 rubles.
