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.
Guatteria gaumeri – Schwabe News Apr – Dec 2019 – Schwabe India
Guatteria gaumeri
Guatteria gaumeri is a 10 to 15 m tall tree, with a blackish coloured bark. Its leaves are oval-lanceolate, acuminate, dark green about 9 to 11 cm long. The fruit is a round cluster approximately 2 cm in diameter, with a very disagreeable taste and odour.
A homoeopathic mother tincture is prepared from dried bark of the plant. It is covered by Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of United States.
It contains alpha-asarone as a primary constituent.
Guatteria gaumeri acts on the liver and gallbladder, kidney and pancreas. It has affinity to improve digestive complaints with liver and biliary manifestation. It is one of the frequently used homoeopathic remedy for liver complaints. It is reported for gallstone. Its anti hypercholesterolemic effect was reported way back in 1982. Studies have found that this is primarily due to its main component Alpha-asarone by decreasing the secretion of lipids. It is also found to be non-toxic. A clinical study has shown decrease in TC, LDL, VLDL, and increase in HDL.
Recommended dose: 1x/Q, 10-20 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.
