Indications of Schwabe Hertone

Uterine tonic. Covers amenorrhoea, menstrual irregularities such as menorrhagia, dysmenorrhoea. It is used for ovarian cyst, uterine fibroid, and endometriosis. It is also used in associated water retention, insomnia, debility, anxiety, rectal distress, constipation, and cases of infertility. Symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) like mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability, and depression are also covered.

Hertone is a new product developed by Schwabe. Clinical problems of the female sex are varied. Scientists have taken care to develop a non-toxic formulation with wide coverage. Inputs for the need for such a product covered from simple menstrual disturbance and dysmenorrhoea to complicated conditions like ovarian cyst (also called polycystic ovarian disease/syndrome or PCOD/PCOS) and uterine fibroids. Though genetics plays a role in developing these problems, modern researchers link it to the badly behaved hormones: estrogen, progesterone, and others. Experts in the field explain how our modern-day lifestyle affects these hormones and end up in many of these problems. As a result, symptoms of imbalanced hormones well before developing any of these specific “disorders” are felt. Subsequently, these problems develop after some time. Initially, there may be a slight disturbance in the menstrual cycle and the nature of pain during menses. These may be associated with general symptoms like sleeplessness, pedal oedema, poor appetite, weight gain, etc. Over a period of time, these develop as disorders of the female reproductive system. Schwabe Hertone is a product that covers different stages of such disorders.

The disorders of female reproductive system have been grouped

(a) menstrual disturbances
(b) vaginal discharges
(c) growths & cysts.

Schwabe Hertone is indicated in menstrual disturbances including amenorrhoea (secondary), menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, and dysmenorrhoea. Abnormal vaginal discharge such as leucorrhoea of different types is
covered by Schwabe Hertone. It also covers uterine fibroid and ovarian cyst with intermittent or continuous pain which may be mild to severe intensity in the lower abdomen. Pain in a uterine fibroid is more often generalized. Pain of ovarian origin is usually felt at ovarian regions or sides (iliac fossae). The product covers endometriosis, which is an abnormal endometrial growth on the ovary and tissues lining the pelvis.

The formulation strengthens the female reproductive organs. Schwabe Hertone has 6 ingredients that have scientific proof for their role in the female reproductive system. Apart from their traditional use, modern research on them recommends their use. It is recommended for functional tone up of the female reproductive system. The ingredients act as uterotonic, anti-inflammatory, emmenagogue, estrogenic, anti-spasmodic, androgenic, uterosedative and others.
