Application features
Galstena® oral drops should not be used in patients with alcohol dependence, as one dose of the drug (5/10 drops) contains 80/160 mg of alcohol.
The alcohol content should also be taken into account when using the drug in pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children and patients with a high risk of liver disease and the risk of epileptic seizures.
At the beginning of treatment with the drug, existing symptoms of the disease may temporarily worsen (primary reaction). This reaction is usually not harmful. If the symptoms do not disappear, the drug should be discontinued. After the primary reaction has disappeared, the drug can be used again. If the symptoms worsen again, the drug should be discontinued.
Long-term treatment with homeopathic medicines should be supervised by a doctor experienced in the use of homeopathic medicines, as symptoms may occur that are not listed in the instructions for medical use.
Since Galstena® contains herbal and other natural ingredients, a slight change in the taste, transparency, or color of the solution may occur during storage, which does not lead to a decrease in the quality and effectiveness of the drug.
