Reviews about the drug
For the treatment of mastopathy, I was prescribed the drug Indinol according to the scheme 1 tablet 2 times a day with a course of 3 months. I noticed the results of treatment in about a week. The pain in the chest disappeared, the discharge that appeared with pressure disappeared. Only now I’m wondering whether it is really necessary to take the remedy for 3 months or whether 1 month will be enough. There is also concern about how the drug can affect pregnancy planning.
Svetlana Vladimirovna
After 40 years, women are simply obliged to regularly be examined by a mammologist and undergo mammography. During a regular examination, I was diagnosed with mastopathy, although nothing foreshadowed and no symptoms bothered me. Indinol was appointed. The drug worked – judging by the ultrasound, now everything is fine with me, however, I continue to monitor my health so that the sore does not develop into something serious.

On examination by a gynecologist, cervical erosion was found, after which the doctor recommended an analysis for the presence of HPV in the body. I passed the tests – nothing serious was found, however, the virus was still found. Appointed Indinol. After completing a six-month course, I re-passed the tests – they did not find anything, now I am calm. Tatyana Andreeva
