Like any other drug, "Macmirror" can have a negative effect on the human body, causing a number of unwanted reactions. Most often, subject to compliance with the dosage, these effects occur very rarely and disappear on their own after discontinuation of the drug.
According to reviews of "Macmirror", the most common side effect is the occurrence of an allergic reaction. It can be provoked by both the main active ingredient and the other components of the drug.
Allergies usually appear soon after taking the medicine. The patient has itching, rash, redness of the eyes, swellingmucous membranes (for example, the oral cavity). If at least one of these symptoms appears, you should immediately take an antihistamine and seek medical help. You may also experience:
- Dizziness, headache should also be attributed to possible side effects.

Analogues of "McMiror"
Reviews about the drug are overwhelmingly positive. However, it happens that its use is contraindicated or impossible. In this case, you need to look for a replacement.
A huge number of antimicrobials are currently on the pharmaceutical market. All of them are able to prevent the reproduction process and destroy bacteria, protozoa and fungi.
These funds differ in their main component, therefore they will have different lists of indications and contraindications, as well as side effects. Among other things, they can be divided according to the degree of effectiveness."Macmirror" refers to drugs of high therapeutic activity, but not everyone and not always it is suitable. How to proceed in such a case? A worthy replacement should be found.
First of all, it must be said that at the moment there is no complete analogue of "McMiror". Nifuratel is contained only in its composition. However, it can be replaced by other equally effective drugs.
For example, "Vilprafen". It belongs to macrolide antibiotics, contains josamycin. This drug has a similar effect to Macmirror and a list of side effects. However, "Vilprafen" can be prescribed to pregnant and lactating women, but only in cases of emergency.
Another replacement for McMiror could be the well-known Metronidazole. However, this change is doubtful. Although it is an antimicrobial agent, it is a little outdated and some types of bacteria have already acquired resistance to it. This means that sometimes its use will be unjustified.
In addition, "Metronidazole" has a list of pronounced side effects.
However, the drug has a significant plus - its price is an order of magnitude lower than other means.
Conclusion
"Macmirror" is a drug with a unique composition and a large number of positive reviews, but it should be used only when prescribeddoctor.
