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.

Klimaktolan

INTRODUCTION

Menopause or final menstruation marks the end of reproductive fertility in women. It is preceded by hormonal changes over ten years or more as oestrogen (main female hormone) concentrations gradually decline and follicle stimulating hormone concentration increases.  Depending on the overall health of the ladies, the menopause may set in between 44-50 years of age.  Symptoms are erratic bleeding in respect to frequency, duration, consistency and quantity of flow.  The symptoms are also associated with psychological behaviour, which can vary, and become so intense as to require medication.  The period of declining infertility and hormonal alteration around menopause is known as climacteric.


The acute symptoms of hormonal alteration include, vasomotoric symptoms such as hot flushes, vertigo, attacks of perspiration, headache, organic symptoms such as vaginal dryness, breast atrophy, urethritis, incontinence and frequent urinary tract infection; and mental symptoms include tiredness, loss of libido, irritability and depression.  Many of these problems are being successfully managed by homoeopathic medicines.  The long term symptom or effect of menopause is bone-resorption and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.  Hormone replacement therapy carries lots of side effects and therefore should be limited to exceptional conditions. Klimaktolan offers an effective alternate therapy for management of the symptomatic complex of menopause.

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.
