Indications of Schwabe Holarrhena Antidysenterica 1X Tablets

Acute or chronic colitis, diarrhoea, and dysentery. Useful in other symptoms like colic, bleeding per rectum, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and related problems.

Holarrhena antidysenterica belongs to the family Apocynaceae. It is an old Indian medicine, known by the common name “Kurchi”. The matured Kurchi bark contains about 4.5% alkaloids of which “Kurchicine” and “Conesimine” have been studied extensively.

A homoeopathic tincture is made from the dried bark. It is covered by Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of India. It was first proved by Dr. Mahendra Lal Slrcar. Hahnemannian proving was conducted by CCRH and published in 2005. It has come to be known as a very powerful curative agent in cases of acute or chronic dysentery and fever. It is mainly useful as tamoebicide.

Many studies have established its therapeutic action in digestive disorders. Its stimulant and relaxant activities are mediated possibly through activation of histamine receptors and Ca (++) channel blockers, respectively. This study suggests its traditional use in other gastrointestinal disorders like constipation, colic and diarrhoea. A study conducted at the Institute of Post Graduate Ayurvedic Education and Research had found it efficacious to stop bleeding in bleeding piles. Studies on products containing Holarrhena antidysenterica have shown their usefulness in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Apart from antidysenteric properties, the extract of this plant exerts its antihyperglycemic effect by retarding the carbohydrate absorption from intestine through the inhibition in α-glucosidase activity and therefore resists postprandial hyperglycemia.
