Furacilin is not a new remedy. It does not belong to the category of newfangled expensive medications, and yet, for many years now it has become a part of any family medicine chest. It can not be said that tablets of furacil are vital. But there are situations in which the availability of this uncomplicated tool will be very helpful.
Some parents are in no hurry to use furatsilina, doubting whether it is possible for his children. I must say, such doubts are absolutely groundless, furacilin is completely safe not only during the period of newborn and lactation, but also during pregnancy.
