Reviews
Oleg, 45, Moscow
Reception of Novo-Passit was prescribed by a doctor after I had an accident. Despite the lack of physical damage, I was constantly tormented by intolerable headaches. It was possible to relieve the condition only with the help of droppers, which had to be placed in the hospital. Thanks to Novo-Passit, I had the opportunity to not visit the hospital and return to normal activities. However, the drug is not allowed to take constantly, you need to take short breaks. These days the migraine starts to bother me again and it becomes not joy to live.

Thanks to the reception of Novo-Passit, I managed to get rid of insomnia, although the remedy is not sleeping pills. I stopped feeling tired and strained at the end of the working day and it became much easier to fall asleep. In addition, I even changed the mode of the day, I began to go on time and not sit at the computer until late at night.
Novo-Passit is a sedative, therefore it is allowed to take it only on prescription. This helps to alleviate the patient's condition and avoid undesirable effects of treatment.
