My wife has had to take famotidine to treat her reflux for years. After it hasn’t been available in Germany for many months and my wife was in serious trouble as a result, I found Sopharma and have ordered from them several times. The product is excellent and of high quality. There is practically no difference to the products on the German market. In addition, the product is sold at a reasonable price.
