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.

It is an Indian plant, found as a herb all over India. Up to 1m in height, leaves opposite 2.5 to 12.5 cm. Morphologically variable, but thick pubescent tomentose velvety, rarely glabrate, short petiole, spike robust. In local language it is known as Apamarga or Khara manjari. It is a safe medicine and it mainly contains alkaline salts of potash along with other constituents. Sapogenins up to 2%, hentriacotane, oleanolic acid and a glycoside.
A homoeopathic tincture is made from the whole plant excluding roots. It is covered by Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of India. It was introduced by Dr. S. C. Ghose. It acts as an astringent, diuretic, alternative, and antiperiodic and in large doses as purgative. In homoeopathy, it is considered as a powerful astringent, used in menorrhagia, diarrhoea, dysentery, and as diuretic. Externally it is reported to be of value in skin eruptions. Some authors have also reported it as a useful medicine for dropsy (possibly because of its diuretic effect), for boils and in colic. Studies 5 6 have proved its hypoglycaemic activity , serum bactericidal activity , direct free radical scavenging activity , etc. Reports also support that it stimulates immunity . Some clinical trials have reported it useful in urinary tract infections.
Recommended dose: Q/1x,5-10 drops.

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.
