In case of acute stomach upset in a one-year-old baby, the pediatrician prescribed Nifuroxazide for him. He is in liquid form - a suspension, the child is comfortable drinking. The results of the action of this drug was satisfied and, collecting a first aid kit on the sea, I wanted just in case, and this medicine. But here this liquid form did not seem very convenient, the bubble volume occupies and has a certain weight. In the pharmacy, the pharmacist recommended the drug Ersefuril. The active substance is the same, only the form of release - capsules. The price is almost the same as that of the suspension Nifuroxazide. Unfortunately, on vacation the drug came in handy - my body reacted to a change of water. True, the problem was quickly eliminated. During the day everything was normal.I took Ersefuril according to the scheme in the instructions, there were no side effects. The drug is happy, it acts gently and effectively.
