Reviews
Reviews about "Parasidosis" are different.

What is the reason for such results, which are described in reviews of "Parasidosis" from lice, is still unknown. It is possible that the reason is the wrong use of shampoo.
It is also known from reviews of Parasidosis that the lack of a positive result appears due to the repeated use of one andthe same drug, when the body gets used to the active ingredients of the shampoo. That is why reuse does not bring efficiency. Therefore, doctors in their reviews of Parasidosis and other anti-pediculosis drugs do not recommend using the same drug for treatment more than twice.
