It is on sale in drugstores and supermarkets. On counters it is possible to see both vials of different volume of liquid, and capsules. If in plans to buy liquid means, pay attention to its color.
Really useful structure always has a chartreuse light shade. Stir up a bubble: the deposit should not be. It is quite good if on packing or in the instruction also the way of production — most useful the oil received by method of cold pressing is specified. But there is a nuance: such product spoils quicker. In this plan it is more preferable than the capsule to internal reception — the dense cover allows to maintain all connections and minerals longer. Well and of course do not forget to look at issue date.
As well as where to store in house conditions
Such medicines try to keep in dark, dry and cool (up to +25 °C) the place. It is desirable that children had no access to stocks.

In many cases the period of pregnancy at which available oil of a thistle can complicate life to the woman in labor and the kid can be an indirect contraindication also.
The fact is that the mechanism of influence of this plant on a fruit is up to the end not studied, and gynecologists reasonably prefer secure instead of reception. Though in some cases oil is appointed for fight against toxicosis (but besides, it is especially individual). Search with a dose or self-treatment can be led to the fact that strong medicine will do harm. In this case it is shown in various allergic manifestations, problems with a chair in the form of diarrhea or even to a suffocation attack.
