Doctor neurologist, expert site Neurodok

Stroke is a terrible disease. I had to deal with him more than once - my uncle was ill, he appeared 4 times, 4 times brought him death, and my husband's relatives also had this terrible disease that made them disabled for life.

Recently, the stroke "hit" and his brother, and he is only 48 years old, quite young, but he did not ignore it either. After the first symptoms, I immediately called a doctor, and he was taken to the hospital.

After he was discharged, he was prescribed to take Rekognan in sachets. I did not think about the price and immediately bought him 20 pieces. After a month of receiving them, he managed to completely restore all his motor and speech functions.

Hope, 42 years old

When my father had a stroke, we just did not know what to do. He lay in the hospital only 21 days and it is very small for a complete recovery.

He was prescribed a number of tablets that did not bring the desired effect. Then the doctor prescribed the drug Recognan in a solution in a vial. We bought, although they are too expensive, but health is more expensive. After the father began to take this remedy, he became much better. They gave the drug 2 months, during this period, he managed to fully recover.
