  Opinion of the experts

  We set a goal to compare Anvifen and his more famous analogue Fenibut and for this purpose interviewed two doctors. That's what they said.

  Anvifen is an analogue of Phenibut, in fact it is two identical drugs, only in different packages. During the reception, there is no difference between the two agents. Anvifen is considered an updated remedy, but in the rest of the differences I have not found. Also helps to eliminate mental and nervous disorders.

  Helps children and adults with irritability, aggression, anxiety, fears, nervous tics, enuresis, sleep disorders. The drug is well tolerated and almost does not cause side effects. But the doctor must prescribe it based on the symptoms of the condition. I do not recommend self-medication!

  Physician psychiatrist

  Anvifen and Fenibut are two identical drugs with the same active substance and action. Anvifen directly affects the nervous system and increases blood circulation in the brain. By action, it has very positive properties - quickly restores the nervous system, relieves neuroses, nervous tics, relieves irritation, aggression, stress, helps with sleep disorders, eliminates delay or vice versa premature urination.

  For children, this is the most suitable tool for reducing hyperactivity, irritability and normalizing sleep.
