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.

A Study of Homoeopathic Medicine with the Multidrug Therapy – Schwabe India

A comparative study of homoeopathic medicine with the multidrug therapy for paucibacillary leprosy treatment

Recently to find the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in the treatment of leprosy a comparative clinical trial was conducted with MDT (Multidrug therapy). Homoeopathic medicine “Sulphur” had been chose with the Multi drug in the treatment of Paucibacillary leprosy according to WHO guidelines. 60 Borderline Tuberculoid (BT) leprosy patients had been selected out of 90 patients of age 14 years to less than 60 years under the trail. All the patients were allotted a precoded number, randomly and equally divided in two groups. One group received Paucibacillary (PB) regimen as recommended by WHO, whereas other group had been treated for 2 years with Sulphur in 200 potency in liquid orally once in week. Results documented after 2 years treatment which showed MDT therapy (PB regimen) and homoeopathic medicine were found equally effective ashistopathology of skin showed no granulomatous lesion. The group treated with Sulphur showed significant clinical sign of reappearance of normal skin colour and regain of loss of sensation of the skin lesion. Hence from the trail it was concluded that homoeopathic medicine and MD therapy (PB regimen) both equally found effective for treatment of leprosy. The patients of paucibacillary leprosy could get rid of the skin symptoms if treatment with Sulphur (is also given with MDT).

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.
