The main components of the drug and their possible pharmacological properties include:

1. Aconitum napellus: Commonly used in homeopathy to relieve symptoms of fever and flu-like conditions.
2. Bryonia: May help relieve dry coughs and chest pain.

4. Lachesis: Used for conditions associated with infection and may help improve overall health.
