Pharmacological and clinical notes
Constituents Indications

Podophyllum (may-apple)
Pancreopathy with spurting, painless diarrhea, cholecystopathy, colitis, hemorrhoids

Acidum muriaticum (hydrochloric acid)

Ignatia (St. Ignatius' bean)

Based on the individual homeopathic constituents of Podophyllum compositum, therapeutical possibilities result not only for the treatment of hemorrhoidal disorders and simple catarrhal colitis as well as colitis mucosa et ulcerosa, but also for the preliminary and after-treatment of neoplasia (pre- and post-operative, as well as before and after radiation therapy), especially when mucous and sanguineous evacuations occur (acute and chronic colitis).

Especially indicated is Podophyllum compositum for pains in the right hypogastrium, which radiate into the right thigh. Alternating remedies such as Veratrum-Homaccord (colitis), Diarrheel (gastroenteritis), Nux vomica-Homaccord (rectal tenesmus, constipation with ineffectual straining),

Mercurius-Heel (dysenteriform diarrhea), etc. are well adapted to Podophyllum compositum. Since spondylolisthesis can cause or simulate comparable disorders, in painful conditions also the intervertebral origin should always be taken into consideration .

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

for preliminary and after-treatment of neoplasia (pre- or post-operative), as well as before- and after radiation therapy,

10 drops 3 times hourly and then only 3 times daily;

in acute disorders, shock therapy:

10 drops every 15 minutes.

For acute disorders 1 ampule daily,

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