Patient's opinion
After examining the consumer's feedback, it is possible to draw definite conclusions about the effectiveness and safety of the Nayatox tool.
I work as a loader, I always have to carry weights. Sometimes you work so hard that the back hurts, so I use pain medications. Nayatox painfully relieves pain, after one application they are not so strong. It is better to apply it at night, since the ointment has a specific smell, which is difficult to wash off even using soap. It disappears in about half an hour, at the same time, there is a therapeutic effect.
The consistency is thick enough, squeezed out of the tube with difficulty, but absorbed well. After applying, you must tightly close the tube and wash your hands well, since if the ointment gets into the eyes, it is difficult to wash it.
After applying to the painful area, a slight tingling sensation is felt. It is worth an ointment around 150 rubles. Good quality at a reasonable price.
