Reviews

"I'm very glad that my husband, the doctor immediately appointed Mexidol together with other medicines. He suffered a myocardial infarction and was prescribed a complex therapy, lots of medications, all not too pleasant side effects. But thanks to this drug you can reduce the dosage, and the action will be the same, plus he helps. So I recommend if the doctor prescribes is more likely to purchase and use."

"Effective drug, and most importantly – Russian because the price of Mexidol is quite acceptable, even in ampoules. It is a pity that the prescription is written out, would be very useful as a preventative measure. The only thing I can complain about after his admission – can't drive, so that the concentration is broken (although in the list of actions sedation is not). Everything else was fine, helps, after suffering last year traumatic brain injury were only memories, and the negative consequences are present, although the doctors promised."

"Used Mexidol after intoxication with drugs, was very helpful. However, we did not consider that the course begins and ends gradually, but isn't a problem – just wanted to sleep constantly, that's all. Otherwise great product, works and the side effects virtually none."
