This is due to the fact that Stugeron is imported drug, it is made in Hungary, and Cinnarizin, if it is not a Bulgarian product, is manufactured by domestic pharmaceutical plants. The degree of cleaning of the active substance can be different, and although raw materials are purchased in most cases in China, its quality is directly dependent on the price.
