About the use of "Nervohelya" for children respond differently. About this tool there are many positive reviews, in which it is called effective and safe, and also noted the good tolerability of tablets.

Parents say that the use of Nervohel during the day did not provoke drowsiness, like many other drugs prescribed for lesions of the nervous system. In addition, the tablets did not impair the speed of reactions and did not affect attentiveness.

However, there are also negative reviews, in which there are complaints about the absence of any effect. Many mothers consider the price of the drug to be quite high, and the smell of pills is not very pleasant.

A replacement can be one of the drugs with a similar effect on the nervous system - for example, «Glycine», «Valerianachel», «Nott», motherwort tincture or Novo Passit. However, these products contain different ingredients, they have age restrictions, so you should choose an analogue along with a pediatrician or neuropathologist.
