The opinion of doctors is not all clear
Having studied the opinions of doctors and patients about the means of Arthrofoon, one can conclude that not everything is as cloudless as the producer promises.
I can not say that the drug Arthrofoon is highly effective. For the time being I assign this remedy to my patients, I noted that this remedy only helps in 60-70% of 100%.
Of course, everything depends on the degree of illness and individual characteristics of the body of patients. But those to whom this remedy helped with rheumatoid pathologies, respond about this drug positively. But nevertheless before its or his application I recommend to address to the doctor for full inspection.
The doctor rheumatologist
The drug helps to eliminate various articular pathologies - arthritis in different forms, osteoarthritis, arthrosis, spondyloarthrosis and others.
On its effectiveness, the opinions of patients who use it differ, to someone this drug helped, but to someone that does not. But all of course depends on the neglect of the disease. In addition, do not forget about the characteristics of the body, to whom this drug is suitable, and to whom it does not. And so the medicine is quite effective and has a quick effect.

Viewpoint of patients
Patients have their own view.
When my grandmother had severe pain in her back, I immediately took her to a doctor's office, who prescribed Arthrofoon along with other medications.
She took his two weeks, together with the method, rubbed his back and chest with external means, and also attended physiotherapy sessions every day.
After the first improvements, she stopped taking the medicine. My grandmother does not really believe in the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies, so she thought that she was better because of physical therapy. But it seems to me that these improvements came not without the participation of Arthrofoon.
Xenia, 32 years old
As soon as she started taking this medicine she did not expect that it would help to eliminate unpleasant problems, all the same, a preparation of a homeopathic type. But after a long reception, I noticed that the pain had all passed, the condition had improved and there was no discomfort at all. After a full study of the instructions, she noted that Arthrofoon accumulates in the body, and only then begins to act. Apparently, therefore, many do not wait for the effect and immediately throw the drug. I advise everyone to drink the full course of medicine.
