Drug reviews
After reading the reviews of patients who have tried the effect of Baktisubtila on themselves, it can be noted that the overwhelming majority of them are positive and testifies to the effectiveness of the drug. The following are some of these responses:
I had to “get acquainted” with Baktisubtil about 17 years ago. He was appointed by an allergist who treated me. The drug had to be combined with sorbents and antihistamines. Relief came very soon. It took no more than 2 days to feel the first changes, and on the 5th day the condition completely returned to normal, although the treatment itself was completed only after a month. At that time, its price was quite feasible, and then it was stopped selling. Now I don’t use Baktisubtil, so I can’t say anything about quality and cost, but if the manufacturer hasn’t changed, then we can hope that it is still affordable and effective.
Olga, 46 years old, Moscow
My troubles began when I got a sore throat. Having been treated a little with antibiotics, I “earned” my dysbacteriosis. There is no expert in this area in our city, therefore, having found out a little about how to clean up the intestines, I decided that the most suitable option for me was Baktisubtil. It was fully cured only when the second package was over (20 capsules). In general, not very much, considering that it took up to 8 tablets per day. In addition, I had no side effects or discomfort.

Baktisubtil can be purchased at any pharmacy, a special prescription is not needed. But in the case when things are really bad, you should not continue self-treatment and delay with going to the doctor.
