To do this, put a small amount of Eucolek on the elbow of the hand on the inside and maintain for six to eight hours, if an allergic reaction is not observed, the drug can be used in medical therapy.  

If the reaction is manifested, but the drug is still taken, the appearance of such allergy symptoms as puffiness, itching and rashes is quite real.
