Diana –
I always keep this remedy in my first aid kit. As soon as I start feeling something “coming on,” I take it right away, and the cold doesn’t develop. It has a natural composition and no side effects. If taken correctly, it really works. By the way, I bought it here because it turned out to be cheaper than in the nearby pharmacy.
