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.

Editorial
In the last few months we had an opportunity to receive hundreds of students at Schwabe India. It feels good to interact with the budding doctors. Sometimes new ideas which come from the young minds help us to redefine ourselves. We had around 100 students and staff members from Bhartesh Homoeopathic Medical College, Belgaum, Karnataka in the month of February. They were shown the main manufacturing area, herbal garden, finished goods warehouse, etc. An healthy discussion happened between the students, their staff members and Dr. P. N. Varma, our Scientific Adviser. A glimpse of the visit is under current news.
The first proving of Agnus castus was done by Dr. Hahnemann. Later almost all materia medica(s) had covered this drug. It proved to be effective and good drug for both sexes. There has been no new proving or data verification as on this drug known to us. Hence Dr. Willmar Schwabe Group had taken up this drug for proving in association with Dr. David Riley. A combined materia medica is given under proving.
This issue of mother tincture info covers Achyranthes aspera. There have been many studies on this drug as a herb showing significant scope for its usage in pneumonia, cough, kidney stones, diabetes, fungal infection, urinary tract infections, rheumatism, scabies, syphilis, labour complaints, etc. A good number of references will help the readers to explore more.
Cases repeated infections are seen in the OPDs in metros. Weak immunity is one of the causes of suffering due to modern lifestyle, pollution, over medication, steroids, antibiotics, powerful chemotherapeutics, etc. Schwabe India has a product in the name of Alpha-WD to improve weak defence/immunity. A brief information on the immune system, role of Alpha-WD and its indications, composition, proven indication of the individual ingredients, dosage, etc. have been given under product watch.
Under research news, a study on the current trend of choosing homoeopathy in India, a paper on nano-structures of extreme dilutions and a paper on the prescribing preferences for homoeopathy and complementary medicine were covered.

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.
