penicillins and chloramphenicol.

The reviews of doctors and patients who took the Arthron complex are often positive, but negative ones also come across.
The opinion of ordinary people
My grandfather has osteochondrosis. Suffers from pain in the lower back. Especially when sitting or leaning for a long time.
To him the doctor attributed the Arthron complex. To be honest, at first they were afraid of how the organism of the old man would take this drug. There were no side effects.
He was assigned to drink tablets three times a day for three months. After one month of treatment, the grandfather felt relieved and reduced the dose - one tablet a day.
Three months later the disease receded. I do not believe that it disappeared at all, but at least temporarily fell back. A good drug. Money is not wasted!
Inna
Arthron appointed a doctor. His leg hurt. Has spent on drink four months. No result. Sometimes even, it seems, that it became worse. Sore feet and hands. Than to be treated further?
Alexander
I'm 58 years old. I live on the fifth floor. There is no elevator. Every time I went home with tears in my eyes. My legs ached terribly.
I drank three months. Arthron. It became easier. I also go to the gym. I can not leave the habit of youth. And the body needs to be strengthened. I feel much better!
Hope
I am 40 years old. The drug began to drink because of pain in the shoulder joint. Saw two tablets a day. Improvement was felt only after the month of admission.
I was assigned a course in four months. Initially, minor disturbances were seen from the side of the alimentary canal. Nauseated and rumbled in the stomach. The drug was taken after a meal, as the doctor advised me. I also noticed that the condition depends on the food itself. Very sick after dairy products, a bit less from the egg.
switched to cereals with butter and soups. The condition returned to normal. Now I regret that I did not buy a large package at once. It would be cheaper!
Olga
In her youth she injured her leg - after the fall there was a fracture. Cured somehow, because when squatting there was a crunch. At the age of thirty this sound, except that it increased, so the knee also began to ache.
Doctors said that there is a gradual erasure of the cartilage. Have registered Arthron-complex. I drank a month. The condition improved. Now the knee does not crackle. It's good that I started on time. And then I do not know what would be with my leg! »
Alina
I have gonarthrosis of 2-3 degrees. I've been on Arthron for four years now. I drink a course, I take a break for three months and again. And I live. And without it, not life at all, but anguish!
Olga
The professionals say
The drug is well tolerated by patients. The effect occurs after one month of admission. Pain relief is well removed, which eliminates the need to take other pain medications.
Under the influence of the drug, puffiness decreases and joint mobility improves!
Anna Nikolaevna
I want to note right away that Arthron-kompleks is registered not as a medicinal product, but as biologically active additives, that is BAD.
However, this does not reduce its effectiveness. In addition, it does have a healing effect and significantly relieves pain syndrome!
Marina Viktorovna
Pay attention to the next moment. This is not the drug that will help immediately.
It is designed for long-term treatment, but also helps for a long time. Magic will not happen! Also, when buying a drug in a pharmacy, it is superfluous to ask for a certificate for this remedy.
As there are counterfeits that do not help in the treatment and spoil the reputation of the original!
