Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Discus compositum, therapeutic possibilities result for the improvement of the homotoxic terrain in osteochondrosis, affections of the joints (chronic arthritis and arthrosis) and in particular, in neuralgic- rheumatic disorders in the region of the vertebral column.

The combination of vitamins with organ preparations, catalysts, homoeopathic remedies indicated according to pharmacology, and trace elements displays a broad potentiation effect (Burgi) with far-reaching action, in which Discus compositum ampoules can be complemented by suitable preparations such as Colocynthis- Homaccord, Neuralgo-Rheum-Injeel, Cimicifuga-Homaccord, Zeel, Traumeel S, Spascupreel, China-Homaccord S, etc.

Beneficial combinations result in osteochondrosis and Scheuermann’s disease also with, Viscum compositum forte (formation of wheals over the area of pain).

The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the clinical picture and the stage of the illness: 1 ampoule, to form wheals also several ampoules, 1-3 times weekly i.m., s.c., i.d. (neurally, segmentally in the region of the pain, at acupuncture points, paravertebral wheal formation), alternating with auxiliary remedies indicated.
