Discus Compositum

Discus Compositum is a complex homeopathic preparation containing a large number of components of various origins. It is a homeopathic preparation that is used to support the health of the spine and joints. It contains both plant and animal components, as well as minerals. Here is a description of some of the key components and their proposed mechanism of action:

1. Discus intervertebralis suis is a preparation made from porcine intervertebral discs, purportedly used to support spinal health.
2. Funiculus umbilicalis suis and Embryo totalis suis - contain components from the umbilical cord and embryos of pigs, which can be used to stimulate regenerative processes in the body.
3. Cartilago suis and Medulla ossis suis are porcine cartilage and bone marrow tissues designed to support the repair and function of connective tissue and bones.
4. Suprarenalis glandula suis - a preparation from the adrenal glands of pigs, possibly used to support adaptation to stress and metabolic activity.
5. Pulsatilla pratensis is a plant known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
6. Cimicifuga racemosa (black root) - used to treat symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome.
7. Hydrargyrum oxydatum rubrum (mercuric oxide) - traditionally used in homeopathy to treat skin diseases, but its use is limited due to toxicity.
8. Citrullus colocynthis (colocynth) - used to treat gastrointestinal disorders.
9. Aesculus hippocastanum (horse chestnut) - used to improve blood circulation, especially in case of venous insufficiency.
10. Sulfur is sulfur, widely used in homeopathy to treat various skin diseases.

Each of the components is included in Discus Compositum in very low doses and is used in accordance with the principles of homeopathy, where it is believed that substances can cause symptoms in a healthy person and treat similar symptoms in a patient when used in minimal doses. The effectiveness and mechanism of action of such complex homeopathic remedies remain the subject of scientific debate and research.

Pharmacodynamics

Because it is a homeopathic medicine, its pharmacodynamics are based on the principle of similarity - that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can treat similar symptoms in a patient if used in small doses. Here are some of the key components and their supposed effects:

1. Discus intervertebralis suis (pig intervertebral disc): This component is suggested to support the health of intervertebral discs.
2. Anti-homotoxicum: This component is suggested to have an effect on homeostasis and may alleviate inflammation.
3. Tissue extracts (Funiculus umbilicalis suis, Cartilago suis, Medulla ossis suis, Embryo totalis suis, Suprarenalis glandula suis): These components are suggested to support the health of the corresponding tissues and organs.
4. Plant extracts (Pulsatilla pratensis, Cimicifuga racemosa, Ledum palustre, Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium, Citrullus colocynthis, Secale cornutum, Argentum metallicum, Zincum metallicum, Cuprum aceticum, Aesculus hippocastanum, Berberis vulgaris, Ranunculus bulbosus, Cinchona pubescens, Kalium carbonicum, Sepia officinalis): These components are believed to have effects on various body systems such as the nervous, immune and vascular systems.
5. Minerals and other substances (Hydrargyrum oxydatum rubrum, Sulfur, Acidum silicicum, Calcium phosphoricum, Acidum DL-alpha-liponicum, Natrium diethyloxalaceticum, Nadidum, Coenzyme A, Ammonium chloratum, Acidum picrinicum, Medorrhinum): These components are believed to have effects on metabolism and cellular processes.

Pharmacokinetics

Homeopathic medicines are generally considered to have no pharmacokinetic properties in the traditional sense. This means that they do not go through the processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion that occur with most drugs. Instead, homeopathic medicines are supposed to exert their effects through the informational properties of diluted components that interact with the patient's body.

Dosing and administration

1. Method of application:

   • Drops: Drops are usually dissolved in a small amount of water or under the tongue.
   • Tablets: Tablets are usually placed under the tongue and left there until completely dissolved.

2. Dosage:

   • The dosage of Discus Compositum is determined by the doctor and depends on the nature and severity of the symptoms, as well as the individual characteristics of the patient.
   • Usually the initial dose is 5-10 drops or 1-2 tablets several times a day.
   • The dosage may be increased or decreased depending on the patient's response to treatment.

3. Duration of treatment:

   • The duration of use of Discus Compositum is also determined by the doctor and depends on the nature and severity of the disease, as well as the patient’s response to treatment.

Use Discus Compositum during pregnancy

Using Discus Compositum during pregnancy may be dangerous as its components, such as Hydrargyrum oxydatum rubrum (mercuric oxide), may pose a risk to the fetus. Mercury oxide is highly toxic and its use during pregnancy is associated with serious health risks for mother and child. Therefore, careful discussion with your doctor before using this or any other homeopathic remedy during pregnancy is necessary to evaluate all potential risks and benefits.

In general, homeopathic medicines may contain active ingredients in very low dosages, but some components, such as heavy metals or potentially toxic plants, may carry additional risks.
