Alpha™- Liv Drops

Alpha – Liv Drops Due to high demand from the market, for a formulation in drops for the liver, apart from the syrup already available in the market, Schwabe India developed this product. Introduction The liver plays a key role in metabolism. It has anabolic and catabolic, exocrine and endocrine functions. The liver is a blood reservoir, filter and store of different substances (e.g. glycogen, vitamins). It is the site of serum protein (e.g. albumin, prothrombin, fibrinogen) and enzyme synthesis. Metabolic processes (e.g. bilirubin, hormone, carbohydrate and lipid turnover) and the removal of toxic products are important liver functions. 1 Hepatotoxins (e.g. alcohol, tetracycline, acetaminophen, fungal toxins, and anabolic steroids) can cause specific damage to liver cells. Toxic hepatitis may be clinically silent or severe enough to lead to the rapid development of hepatic failure. Clinical features include hepatomegaly, enzyme abnormalities, fever, abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and weight loss. In patients with underlying cirrhosis, manifestations of portal hypertension may predominate. Aversion to fatty food, abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting after meals may be symptoms of 2 cholelithiasis. Jaundice results from accumulation of bilirubin. It has non-hepatic as well as hepatic causes. Hyperbilirubinaemia may be due to abnormalities in the 3 formation, transport, metabolism or excretion of bilirubin. TM Alpha -Liv Drops aids recovery and normalisation of liver functions. Severe liver disease needs specialised treatment. Indications: Slow liver functions, fatty liver, and for supportive treatment of hepatocellular jaundice and toxic liver damage.

Recognition is a kind of motivation. We get motivated when our brand is recognised by thousands of people and physicians every day.  We get motivated when they trust our products. We get motivated when someone writes in his prescription ‘please dispense only Schwabe medicine’. Recently, we got even more motivated when the Schwabe India was recognised with the award of “Alternative Medicine Brand of the Year” at the India Health & Wellness Summit & Awards 2014. Complete details are given under current news. Current news also covers the visits of around 500 budding homoeopaths with their teachers to Schwabe India.

Abroma augusta is an Indian drug and used majorly in mother tincture. Its curable symptoms in higher potencies have been established in a few provings. They are clinically verified by the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy. The details are given under Proving & clinical verification.

Though Urtica dioica finds a place in Clarke’s materia medica under urtica urens, it is not a rarely used drug. It has a broad similarity with Urtica urens. It is found in Europe and high altitudes of India. Availability of data from the literature for this drug is poor. An attempt is made to provide detailed information on this drug. It can be found under mother tincture info.

Obesity in developed and many developing countries is alarming. Homoeopathy has a role in these cases. Role of Phytolacca berry mother tincture and low potencies in obesity is undeniable. Schwabe India, with its state-of-the-art infrastructure, imports, processes and manufactures Phytolacca berry in mother tincture and tablet forms without losing its medicinal values. The product details of Phytolacca berry tablets are given under product watch.

WHO had recently raised concerns about high use of antibiotics. Present situation makes worse consequence of bacterial resistance. Research news covers an important article on this contemporary concern that how homoeopathy can minimize antibiotics with other useful research abstracts.

Hope the issue is interesting and informative.

Recent Advancements in Basic Homeopathic Research – A Report on Two Significant Publication

In a study conducted at the Experimental Farm of the State University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, researchers investigated the impact of homeopathic treatments on piglets during the nursery phase. The study aimed to determine whether homeopathic agents could reduce fighting behavior, improve growth performance, and affect hematological, metabolic, and oxidative variables. The study included 108 weaned piglets divided into four groups: a negative control group receiving only the basal diet, and three groups receiving different homeopathic treatments at varying dosages.
