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.

Expiry of homoeopathic medicines – a study report – Schwabe News Apr – Dec 2019 – Schwabe India

Expiry of homoeopathic medicines – a study report


Expiry of homoeopathic medicines is a highly debated topic. For the pharmacists and practitioners it is the important concern. To make it out a comparative study has been done on the regulatory framework for the expiry of homeopathic medicines in four countries: Brazil, Germany, India and the United States. Study revealed that expiry of homoeopathic medicines varies from country to country. US exempted homeopathic medicines from expiry dates. In India all homoeopathic products except dilution and back potencies have 5 years of expiry. Whereas in Brazil 5-year expiry for finished products only, potencies used in manufacture being exempted from an assigned expiry date. There is no rational or scientific background to give 3-5 years of expiry for homoeopathic medicines. In fact some studies showed that homoeopathic medicines are effective even after 25 years. Ultra-diluted homoeopathic medicines contains non-material activity that is maintained over time and, since these exhibit different chemical properties compared to the original starting material, it is quite possible they possess properties of longer activity than conventional medicines.
