  1. This is NOT scare-mongering.
    Presently, we have advertised on television in Hungary a NEW muscular – anti-inflammatory tablet
    The advertisement “sings” the wonders of this new drug – muscular, arthritis, bone joint – pain relief.
    If YOU research it – findings with country’s larger and of greater medical advancement than Hungary – they Highly recommend – it not to be taken.

    We, in Hungary – have to strong a TENDENCY – to not LISTEN – to the “Wider” more developed Medical World, and place in our Pharmacies exampled – medication(s) that DON”T have universal approval, and can effect one’s Health.
