Reviews
to me after the operation pricked Noshp twice a day. Very quickly anesthetizes, but at the same time calms. The wife always makes injections of Noshpa with strong back pain and menstruation. The injection helps to almost instantly relieve severe pain in the lower back and abdomen. Noshpa is always in our home medicine cabinet. But we have long since abandoned Drotaverin. This drug seems already an outdated medicine of the Soviet era.

I gave Noshp a little son in 2 years. Recommended by the doctor for severe pain in the tummy. There was a complication in the operation of the pancreas, Noshpa's application was on the list of prescribed drugs. The medicine very quickly relieves spasms. Even in Noshp tablets, it is an excellent option to relieve the state of spasms. I myself sometimes take Noshp during kidney pain, suffer from cholelithiasis. When I'm in pain, I drink one tablet. The pain passes in ten minutes.
