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.

Alpha – SH


Introduction

Nasal cavities are lined by a mucous membrane opening into the nasal cavity. During inhalation very often the inhaled air is contaminated by pollutants and pathogenic micro organisms.  It can affect the sinuses.

Headache is a common symptom of congested or infected sinuses. Alpha – SH covers a range of causes like infection, inflammation, suppuration, excretion and helps  healing.

The five ingredients in their totality act very successfully on the different complaints in sinus conditions, such as inflammations of the maxillary and frontal sinuses.  In this way the typical symptoms of inflammations of the sinus of the nose, i.e. dull headache, stupor, watering eyes, but also nerve pains in the face, can quickly and lastingly be improved.  Cinnabaris acts specially in the initial stage of the disease. The components Hydrastis, Kalium bichromicum and Baryta muriatica on the other hand influence mainly the subacute and chronic processes, as they are frequently observed in protracted sinus conditions.  It reduces the swelling of the mucosa and through this makes breathing through the nose easier.  It also causes a reduction in the secretions and that way contributes to a reduction of the sensation of pressure in the head.  Echinacea contributes to a general increase of the body’s defences. It stimulates the convalescence in febrile infections and reduces generally the frequency of recurrences.

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.
