Pharmacological and clinical notes

Causticum Hahnemanni

Burns; rheumatic, arthritic, paralytic disorders; for pains in the muscular and  connective tissues with progressive decrease in muscular strength, contracture of tendons.

Natrium diethyloxalaceticum (sodium oxalacetate)

Active factor of the citric acid cycle and of redox systems, dermatosis, weakness of the defensive mechanism.

Acidum alpha-ketoglutaricum (a-ketoglutaric acid)

Active factor of the citric acid cycle and of redox systems, dermatosis, feeling of exhaustion.

Acidum fumaricum (fumaric acid)

Active factor of the citric acid cycle and of redox systems, dermatosis, conditions of debility.

Arsenicum album (white arsenic)

Burning pains, restlessness, hopelessness, exhaustion. Sulfur (sulphur)

Reagent in all chronic diseases, cellular activity is influenced catalytically. Arnica montana (mountain arnica)

Stimulation of healing of wounds, myocardial weakness, neuralgia, myalgia. Pulsatilla pratensis (wind flower)

Migrating disorders, remedy for affections of the mucosa, promotes regressive vicariation.

Embryo suis (embryo)

Stimulation of the body’s own defenses, for cellular diseases in general, arteriosclerosis, muscular dystrophy.

Histaminum (histamine)

To support the detoxicating functions; increased glandular secretion; eczema and dermatosis, burns.

Included in the pharmaceutical picture of Causticum are caustic and burning pains, a feeling “like raw flesh”, and it is not only indicated for incontinentia urinae and catarrh but also for burns and scalds of all kinds (through hot liquids, the direct effect of fire, etc.) and for radiation injuries. Causticum is indicated especially when there are also conditions of exhaustion. Arnica montana has a pronounced action on the circulation. Arsenicum album improves the most serious exhaustion and depressive disposition,

while Sulphur has a detoxicating effect and Histamine acts upon the toxin level (always high in cases of radiation injury and burns) by the reversal effect. Pulsatilla acts (through the sympathetic nervous system) on the connective tissue function and promotes secretions. The embryonic extract exerts a stimulating action on the depleted defensive forces, while through the catalysts Natrium diethyloxalaceticum, Acidum alpha-ketoglutaricum and Acidum fumaricum, the enzyme system of the citric acid cycle is stimulated.

Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Causticum compositum, therapeutic possibilities result for the treatment of burns and scalds of all  types, caused by hot fluids, steam, the direct effects of fire, and radiation injuries of all kinds, including, in particular, radiation sickness and disorders after insertions of radium, telecobalt, radioactive disotopes, especially when, after extensive radiation, the  number of white blood-corpuscles declines (leucopenia).

Also for intoxication of other kinds, e.g. in conditions of exhaustion through physical overstrain, frostbite, hypothermia, overwork, Causticum compositum can be administered.

The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the clinical appearance and the  stage of the illness. In general, especially in acute conditions, one injection is administered s.c. or i.m. once to twice daily, otherwise (for a series of irradiations and in the treatment of severe burns, possibly in addition to cortisone, etc.), at first possibly daily, later 1-3 times weekly 1 ampoule s.c. or i.m., in special cases also i.v.

The solution of drops is administered in cases of acute burns, 10 drops every 15 minutes for several hours, later hourly to every 2 hours; after the acute symptoms have abated, 10 drops 3 times daily. The same procedure is followed for X-ray, radium and radiation treatment.

Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Cardiacum-Heel, therapeutic possibilities result for the treatment of cardiac neurosis and functional anginal  disorders as well as gastrocardiac syndrome (with Duodenoheel, Bryaconeel and Spascupreel possibly also Gastricumeel, in alternation with Duodenoheel, to be taken as alternating remedy or all simultaneously).

Also for disorders arising from cervical syndrome (intervertebral angina pectoris; Valleix’s point douloureux in the intercostal spaces). Cardiacum-Heel is excellently suited as shock therapeutic agent in coronary disorders of the type mentioned, in addition to preparations administered in the long-term such as Barijodeel, Aurumheel  N drops, etc., and as additional remedy for ventricular and duodenal ulcers, pancreatitis and disorders arising from the epigastrium.

The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the symptoms and the stage of the illness: 1 tablet 2-5 times daily; for acute disorders, massive initial-dose therapy, 1 tablet to be dissolved on the tongue every 15 minutes, possibly alternating with other preparations.

Injection solution Composition:

Injection solution: 2.2 ml cont.: Carbo vegetabilis D10, Lachesis mutus D10, Melilotus officinalis D8, Atropa belladonna D6, Arnica montana D6 22 µl each.

Indications:

Antihomotoxic regulating action in cerebral haemorrhage and myocardial infarction.

Dosage:

In general, daily 1 ampoule i.m., s.c., i.d., i.v. (up to 3 times weekly).

Package sizes:

Packs containing 5, 10, 50 and 100 ampoules of 2.2 ml.

Pharmacological and clinical notes

Carbo vegetabilis (wood charcoal)

Conditions of collapse, circulatory failure, apoplexy, asthma, emphysema, dyspnea, strong desire for fresh air.

Lachesis mutus (bushmaster)

Disorders which arise during sleep, a sensation of asphyxia. Melilotus officinalis (melilot)

Congestion of the brain and cephalalgia, plethora, possibly with pre-apoplectic conditions.

Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade)

Overloading of the blood-vessels of the brain, danger of apoplexy, cerebral sensitivity with cramp and delirium.

Arnica montana (mountain arnica)

After-effects of injuries, cerebral congestion, apoplexia cerebri.

The composition of Carbo compositum is adapted symptomatically to the syndrome of apoplexia cerebri, in which usually circulatory failure with overloading of the blood- vessels of the brain and signs of brain pressure are present. Based on the individual constituents, these symptoms are not only obviated, but when apoplexy has already occurred, provided that there is no massive haemorrhage, there is certainly a  possibility that regression of the paresis can be achieved.

As soon as possible after apoplexy has occurred, or when there is a danger of apoplexy, it is advisable to administer Carbo compositum i.v. immediately; possibly after a few hours or on the following day, the injection should be repeated; likewise in cases of myocardial infarct (alternating with Strophanthus compositum and Cactus compositum i.v. and orally in frequent doses as ampoules to be taken per os).

In cases of hypertonic heart with a tendency towards apoplexy and cerebral sclerosis, the preparation (in alternation with others) can also find application in long-term treatment.

Carbo compositum has a very limited sphere of action but it is indispensable in those situations where usually life is threatened, when, in fact, there is dyspnea and a strong desire for fresh air, usually associated with restlessness of the motor area and, however, also when there is somnolence, and apoplexy has already occurred.

In severe cephalalgia resulting from excessive hypertonia (often worse after sleeping), Carbo compositum should be administered immediately i.v. Also in bronchial asthma, as well as asthma cardiale, Carbo compositum is indispensable, an important subsidiary remedy being Ignatia-Injeel forte S, which, at the same time, may influence the dyspnea decisively when the symptom is present of being unable to breathe deeply but respiration is long and sighing.

The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the symptoms and the stage of the illness: 1 ampoule 3 times weekly to once daily i.m., s.c., i.v. After a fresh attack, 1 ampoule i.v., possibly repeated after 6 hours, with other appropriate preparations.

Injection solution Composition:

Injection solution: 2.2 ml cont.: Cantharis D4, Arsenicum album D4, Mercurius solubilis Hahnemanni D8, Hepar sulfuris D8 22 µl each.

Pharmacological and clinical notes

Cantharis (cantharides)

Arsenicum album (white arsenic)

Degenerative impairment of the renal parenchyma, glomerulonephritis, burning and pain in the region of the kidneys and bladder.

Hepar sulfuris (calcium sulphide)

Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Cantharis compositum S, therapeutical possibilities result for the treatment of acute and chronic pyelitis and cystitis, as well as its application as auxiliary remedy in other renal disorders; also for acute renal inflammation as well as for hydronephrosis, possibly alternating with Solidago compositum S, Berberis-Homaccord, as well as with Albumoheel S, Reneel, Traumeel S, Echinacea compositum (forte) S, etc.

In cases of cystitis with conditions of irritation caused by radiation therapy, Cantharis compositum S can also bring about an improvement of the vesical tenesmus, burning and stabbing pains during miction, etc. However, it is recommended, on the basis of recent experience, particularly when the pains radiate into the legs (particularly the right leg), that a mixed injection of Polypus vesicae urinariae-Injeel (forte) with Arsenicum album-Injeel forte S and Argentum nitricum-Injeel forte should be administered s.c., at first daily, later only 2-3 times weekly. The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the symptoms and the stage of the illness.
