Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Hepar compositum, therapeutical possibilities result for the stimulation of the detoxicating hepatic function in acute and chronic effectations of the liver and gall bladder, e.g. for cholangitis, cholecystitis; also, however, of disturbances of the hepatic function of toxic origin: cirrhosis of the liver, hepatitis epidemica, as well as disturbances of the hepatic function as the cause or consequence of other diseases; for hypercholesterinaemia, erythematosus, toxic exanthema, dermatosis and dermatitis, neurodermatitis, and to stimulate the functions of the liver cells.
The active substances combined in Hepar compositum, such as vitamin B12, organ extracts and homoeopathic medicaments particularly aimed at the hepatic functions, complement themselves synergistically with potentiated action.
The action of Hepar compositum can be increased by the intermediate administration of Ubichinon compositum ampoules, Coenzyme compositum ampoules and possibly Thyreoidea compositum (antineoplastic action).
If the disorders are located more in the left side of the epigastrium or alternate from side to side, intermediate injections of Momordica compositum, Ceanothus-Homaccord, possibly also Leptandra compositum, and if there is a suspicion of neoplasia, also Podophyllum compositum as well as Viscum compositum (mite, medium, forte) etc. are indicated.
Alternating injections with Hepeel, Injeel-Chol and possibly Chelidonium-Homaccord exert a favourable action; for suitable symptoms, possibly also with Nux vomica-Homaccord. The latter preparations should also be administered, according to the symptoms in each case, orally with Chelidonium-Homaccord.
Alternating remedies for intestinal stasis are Leptandra compositum, Momordica compositum, Nux vomica-Homaccord and Papaver-Injeel forte, and possibly also Dioscorea-Injeel forte.
The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the clinical picture and the stage of the illness: initially 1 ampoule s.c.. i.m., possibly i.v. 3 times weekly; in the further course of treatment 1 ampoule s.c. only once to twice weekly, alternating with auxiliary remedies.
