The
source of homoeopathic medicines includes natural minerals, herbs,
their phyto-materials, active chemicals etc, many of which are not
soluble or stable in alcohol, water, glycerol, oils, or their mixtures.
By a special homoeopathic method called trituration, which is comparable to potentisation, the medicinal power of these medicines is enhanced. The tablets made out of this process are known as trituration tablets.
Factors such as purity of the raw material and lactose used, fineness
of the particle size achieved, dissolution time, drug content of the
final product, effect of light, air, moisture and shelf life decide the
quality of the trituration tablets. Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of India
prescribes that the trituration should be done upto 6x level. However,
many companies do trituration only up to 4x level and then just do
simple mixing since this is more convenient. At Schwabe, we believe in
homoeopathic tradition and hence do trituration up to 6x level. German
triturators are used for hard materials.
Schwabe India manufactures 84 products in this category.
