A member asked:
What is septilin? and how safe and effective it is in minor upper respiratory infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't bother: It's a combo of different herbal preparations. In lab rats and mice, a small study showed that low doses of septilin may help but high doses of septilin seemed to impair the immune system. This was in lab rats and mice. You are neither so it really does not apply to you. There is no credible evidence this helps people fight infections. It is not tested for safety or effectiveness.
