Well helps me and my family furazolidon from diarrhea. Once ate at the holiday cake with cream and it was probably he podguljavshim (store reptiles sold, they themselves would have eaten). So the whole family got a terrible diarrhea. At the son-schoolboy so also began to ache a bit. Diarrhea for two days did not pass - were already going to the whole family in the infectious, while my mother-in-law did not prompt me to start taking furazolidone. Say, it's a good and safe medicine since Soviet times. My husband has already gone to work tomorrow, and my son and I have another day to spare and everything is fine. The hospital was not needed. Now we keep this medicine in the medicine cabinet for any unforeseen event.

The drug is really inexpensive, but it can not be called a panacea for diseases caused by various pathogenic microbes.Yes, remembering my childhood, I can say that with dysentery he was doing great then, and now, when there is sometimes an intestinal disorder, I take it, it helps. But here with rotovirusnoy infection, which was my child, furazolidone, written to him by a pediatrician, could not cope. Moreover, given its toxicity, I would not advise giving it to children.

Grandmother, whose senile dementia, it became bad. Two days every fifteen minutes ran to the toilet, with no special diarrhea. They called an ambulance - they arrived and said that this was mental - from the head. The district doctor came and immediately left - he advised me to drink But Shpu. Grandma was getting worse. I noticed that after the grandmother in the toilet a sharp smell and suggested an infection. Looked on the Internet - a lot of drugs and all with "side effects", eventually decided the old, proven Furazolidone.Diet, provitamins, enzymes, activated charcoal and Furazolidone. Grandma immediately became better, the diarrhea passed, but of course "pobochka" is from this medicine. Now she is taking this medicine for the third day. Really really helped!
