         Reviews

         "In my opinion, this is the most mild pain reliever that can be taken at a critical moment, and which, moreover, has no unpleasant side effects. Always helps me and almost immediately. For mild pain operates perfectly, but strong sometimes you have to drink the second pill. Intravenous apply Nospanum not tried, and do not want opt for a couple of pills than to take injections."

         "A few years ago she literally saved me from horrible pain in the female: the pain was gone literally 10 minutes after application. But then came the addictive, or something like that: now from shpy no avail. When after a few hours the pain finally passes, I do not understand: whether the verypassed, if the medicine still worked. Another minus shpy: it causes terrible nausea. Recently want to abandon it, to try other drugs."

         "First, for mild pain Nospanum still helps. Secondly, convenient packaging 100 pieces of tablets can take it with you wherever you go. There is packing and a smaller number of tablets, this provides for suspension system: box is not disclosed and is not falling apart, the most comfortable cans, of which the pills fall out when pressed. Well, and of course the relatively low price in the region of 200 rubles make Nospanum best for me the antispasmodic."
