Based on the individual homeopathic constituents of Leptandra compositum, therapeutical possibilities result for the treatment of epigastric syndrome, especially where there are signs of congestion and inflammation in the region of the liver and gall bladder system and of the pancreas.

In these disorders it is usually characteristic for the tongue to be either bright red and glazed (in acute hepatitis), a yellowish brown (in diseases of the gall bladder and bile-duct) or to have a smeary white coating (when gastric and intestinal symptoms are predominant).

In view of the diverse pathogenesis of the diseases of the "storm center", the epigastrium,

other preparations are indicated as auxiliary or intermediate remedies, such as Momordica compositum (pancreas),

Injeel-Chol, Chelidonium-Homaccord,
Hepar compositum and Hepeel
(functional disorders of the liver, cholecystitis and cholangitis),

Anacardium-Homaccord, Erigotheel and Mucosa compositum (ventricular and duodenal ulcers),

Spascupreel (spasms),

Nux vomica-Homaccord
(general intestinal functions); orally, particularly

also Gastricumeel (Roemheld gastrocardiac syndrome).

For chronic affections, particularly in hepatic damage and cirrhosis of the liver, also for after-treatment in virus hepatitis, Leptandra compositum is indicated in addition to Hepar compositum.

The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the symptoms and the stage of the illness:

for long-term treatment,
10 drops 2-4 times daily.

In acute disorders,
10 drops every 15 minutes.

In conditions of pain,

1 ampule daily s.c., i.m., intra-cutaneous, i.v., possibly alternating with other preparations (Momordica compositum, etc.),

otherwise

1 ampule 1-3 times weekly s.c., i.m., i.c.
