Lycopodium homeopathy. Indications for use, instructions, price, reviews

Indications for use

Lycopodium is especially effective on the neurological mechanism. It normalizes blood circulation and restores peripheral impulse transmission. The herbal ingredients included in the multicomponent formula of the alternative medicine stimulate natural physiological processes.

Lycopodium is a homeopathy whose indications for use are extensive and varied. Often the remedy is used in cases where conservative treatment with classical medications does not give the expected result.

Lycopodium is prescribed for:

• acute respiratory diseases of viral-bacterial origin;
• chronic bronchitis and asthma;
• rhinitis not accompanied by a disorder of olfactory function;

• gouty disease;
• spasmodic state of muscles;
• rheumatic damage to smooth muscle fibers;
• benign hyperplasia of the skin.

Lycopodium demonstrates good clinical efficacy in numerous dermatological destructions. These include psoriasis, eczema, and lichen papules.

Lycopodium (Lycopodium)

Lycopodium (lycopodium) - this medicine is Hahnemann's precious gift to all humanity: it demonstrates and confirms the truth of the doctrine of potentization.

When should you take the homeopathic remedy Lycopodium?

Hahnemann writes about Lycopodium: “This pollen-like powder, yellowish and homogeneous to the touch, is obtained from the cones of the club moss, which grows in the forests of Russia and Finland. By the end of summer, the cones dry out and then open."

“If you throw the powder into a fire, it bursts into flames. In addition, they coat the pills with it so that they do not stick together. Moss moss pollen is sprinkled on abrasions in the folds of the skin to protect them from friction when walking. Pollen floats on the surface of the water without dissolving in it, has no taste or smell, and in its original, natural state has virtually no effect on human health...”

“This remedy has remarkable medicinal properties, which are only revealed when the spores of the moss moss are subjected to the procedure of rubbing and shaking.”

“The effects of a moderate dose last from forty to fifty days. The medication can be repeated after an intermediate use of another antipsoric drug, but the second dose is less effective than the first.”

“Being indicated homeopathically, this medicine is especially effective after Calcarea carbonica has exhausted its action...”

Kent says: “Although Lycopodium was considered an inert substance and was considered suitable only for the manufacture of allopathic pill coats, Hahnemann dynamized the moss and thus turned it into a very useful medicine. This is an outstanding monument to the founder of homeopathy. Lycopodium has a profound effect on the vital force... There is nothing in the human body that is not influenced by this powerful drug...”

This inert, “non-wet”, highly flammable powder was widely used in the fireworks industry. When moss spores are rubbed, oily compounds are released from them. To obtain the original drug, which has a unique and powerful healing effect, at least two hours of thorough rubbing of the spores with milk sugar is required.

Let us try to give a brief description of the Lycopodium picture, including the most essential characteristics that are necessary for the successful use of this remedy.

Lycopodium is one of our outstanding polychrests. Although this medicine is not always recognizable at first glance, a few simple questions will allow you to immediately “take the right lead.”

First of all, you need to ask what time of day the patient feels worse. In response you will hear: “In the afternoon, at 16 o’clock or from 16 to 20 o’clock.” Having discovered that the patient corresponds to the Lycopodium type, you continue the questioning in the right direction.

Kent says: "Poor Paul Dombey should have been given Lycopodium, but Dombey the father did not know about it and lost his son."

The Lycopodium patient is well developed intellectually, but the same cannot be said about his physical development. Such a person often looks sickly and thin, and the thinness especially affects the upper body. Transverse and longitudinal folds on the forehead; redness of the nose or cheeks after lunch, which causes great discomfort to the patient.

The Repertory has a small but very useful section called “Fear of Waiting.” It is well known that Gelsemium and Argentum nitricunr have this symptom, but Lycopodium also has it, as do a number of other remedies.

Many years ago, a very experienced homeopath told me about the mental characteristics of the “tmopodia” personality. He explained Lycopodium's fear of waiting as follows. Suppose this person has to meet with his shareholders or voters and give a speech to them. At the same time, it seems to him that he will get confused in his words, stammer, and forget to say the main thing; he constantly thinks only that complete failure awaits him. Finally, the “day of judgment” comes... So what? He rises to the podium and delivers a fiery speech with happy self-forgetfulness; Returning to his place, he feels confident that this was the best speech of his life. The words flowed easily and naturally; Not only did he not forget anything, but he even allowed himself some very witty improvisations. However, on the eve of the next meeting, he experiences the same fear and... again copes with his task brilliantly, since this person is a typical Lycopodium.

Further, the Lycopodium patient desires privacy, but he must also know that there is someone else in the next room, since he is afraid of loneliness! In the heading “Desire to be alone” Lycopodium is in italics, and in the heading “Fear of loneliness” it is in bold. Of greatest interest are the medications in bold that appear in the headings with opposite symptoms and.

The pathogenesis of Lycopodium describes many fears - fear of loneliness, crowds, darkness, death, ghosts, people.

Lycopodium causes a wide variety of dyspeptic disorders. Here it competes with Carbo vegetabilis and China and is considered the most important remedy for flatulence. The Lycopodium patient will complain at the reception that her stomach has long been “inflated like a drum,” and therefore she must wear loose clothes. After eating, the stomach is so distended with gas that it seems as if it would burst; The pressure and tight clothing are completely unbearable. Or, experiencing an acute feeling of hunger, she eats a few spoons of food and ends the meal there, as she feels full and bloated. Or, despite hunger, the stomach seems “full to capacity.” Lycopodium is shown in bold both in the heading "Easy satiety" and in the headings "Hunger in the afternoon" and "Hunger in the afternoon with a feeling of fullness and distension of the stomach."

The Lycopodium patient's food cravings mainly concern sweets and hot drinks. He also likes oysters, which can be difficult to tolerate.

Aversion to coffee and meat.

It is well known that Lycopodium is a right-handed medicine; the painful process spreads from right to left and from top to bottom.

There are a number of important urinary symptoms in the pathogenesis of Lycopodium. Red sand in clean, clear urine; acrid, irritating urine... hence you may give Lycopodium to a newborn baby who has red sand on his diapers; irritation of areas of skin exposed to urine. You can cure nephritis and swelling with this remedy.

As we have already said, Lycopodium corresponds to a person with a well-developed intellect and at the same time experiencing uncertainty in his own abilities. During illness, there is a decrease in mental abilities and confusion of thinking. Memory loss. Uses incorrect words and syllables. Makes spelling mistakes when writing, misses words or letters. Knows that “I” is the last letter in the alphabet, but cannot remember its name. If the patient's condition continues to worsen, he will lose the ability to read; can write whatever he wants, but is unable to read what is written.

My colleagues have told of the successful administration of Lycopodium to writers who became completely incapacitated after suffering from influenza; intellectual disorders arising after influenza often require the administration of Lycopodium, while neurotic ailments due to the same cause, bordering on insanity, require Scutellaria, and those that do not go away for a long time weakness and chilliness quickly give way to the effects of China.

There is not a single disease in the world for which this remedy would not be indicated, but only if we are talking about a Lycopodium patient. Toothache, skin rashes, worsening around 16:00. Prolonged pneumonia, in which the body temperature rises at 16:00 and falls after 20:00. Diphtheria, affecting first the right and then the left half of the throat. Or the inflammatory process in diphtheria first affects the choanae area and then moves down. Lycopodium also corresponds to post-diphtheria paralysis, when food and drink are poured out through the nose. Kidney diseases, accompanied by inflammation and redness of those areas of the skin that receive urine.

Two other symptoms may indicate this remedy: the right foot is cold, and the left one has a normal temperature; burning pain, as from hot coals, in the interscapular area. These symptoms are often very useful, but only as a final argument in favor of a drug diagnosis.

So, if there is a deterioration in health in the afternoon, deterioration at 16:00;

worse between 4 and 8 p.m.; desire for hot drinks; desire for sweets; increased stomach acidity; bloating and characteristic urinary symptoms, you will not be wrong if you choose Lycopodium.

Many years ago I was asked to counsel a five-year-old boy. Despite such a young age, he played excellent cricket. Recently, the baby suffered from frequent urge to urinate. I watched him play cricket on the sand with other boys and literally run into the bushes every few minutes to urinate. When asked about the possible causes of the disease, the parents shrugged their shoulders in bewilderment. During the conversation, I identified several “lycopodium” symptoms, one of which arose quite recently - the boy began to “wake up in the morning in a very bad mood,” while he became angry and noisy. Lycopodium quickly cured him, eliminating, among other things, morning irritability... Almost all the symptoms of Lycopodium are worse in the evening and better in the morning, with the exception of what we saw in this case, namely, “the patient wakes up in a bad mood.”

This case is a striking example of the category of puzzles, the successful resolution of which greatly enriches our knowledge of drug pathogenesis.

Speaking about a symptom, who writes: “If this symptom is expressed clearly enough, then it does not matter through what organs or tissues the symptoms of a painful disorder will manifest themselves in children or young people, I dare to say that the entire totality of pathological phenomena in this case will correspond picture of Lycopodium. Dr. David Wilson was an eminent homeopath, and he does not say: “Whenever the wings of the nose make a fan-shaped movement, give Lycopodmm,” but prefers to speak carefully: “I venture to say that the totality of the pathological phenomena in such a case will correspond to the Lycopodium picture.

Description and characteristics of the homeopathic remedy Lycopodium (lycopodium).

This symptom usually occurs when the respiratory organs are affected. For example, a description of the classic picture of Lycopodium pneumonia is as follows.

Furrowed brow.

Fan-shaped movements of the wings of the nose.

Body temperature rises daily between 16:00 and 20:00, then the temperature drops. In case of prolonged pneumonia, the last symptom directly indicates Lycopodium, the administration of which leads to a rapid recovery of the patient. Kent talks about the use of this remedy for pneumonia “at the height of clinical manifestations and hepatization, when the following symptoms are present: wrinkled face and frowning eyebrows, flaring of the wings of the nose and scanty secretion of sputum. Predominant damage to the right lung; if we are talking about bilateral inflammation, then the right lung is affected first.”

In diphtheria, the disease begins in the right side of the throat and then spreads to the left; at the same time, the patient does not have bad breath and a characteristic coating on the tongue, which “call for help” from Mercurius.

Lycopodium is one of the outstanding polychrests, that is, extremely widely used drugs. However, the leading symptoms mentioned above are invaluable for our school, as they indicate those vulnerable places in the body that are primarily subject to destructive and healing influences.

As already mentioned, this remedy is especially suitable for people with well-developed intellect, whose mental energy predominates over their bodily energy. Therefore, Lycopodium can have both destructive and healing effects on the human psyche. It causes a weakening of memory, and at the same time can be remarkably helpful in cases where, due to illness or overwork, the patient complains of confusion in the head, mental lethargy and inability to think.

And one more thing: both the destructive and healing powers hidden in this medicine have a powerful effect on the digestive and urinary organs.

I remember a patient who complained of severe bloating for many days. It seemed to her that her stomach could burst at any moment under the pressure of accumulated gases, and therefore she avoided wearing tight clothes. Taking Lycopodium was a complete success.

Nat says. Lycopodium, Sulfur and Calcarea carbonica form the leading trio of Ganemaia antipsorics. All of them have a very deep effect. Lycopodium has a beneficial effect on patients of any age, but especially on the elderly and children... on persons with a lively intellect, but weakly developed muscles, on thin people... The subject of Lycopodium has a sickly, haggard appearance; his face is covered with premature wrinkles; looks older than his age. The child is weak, with a well-developed head, but a puny, sickly body... Lycopodium is one of the three leading remedies for flatulence, the other two being Carbo vegetabilis and China... remember that while China produces bloating of the entire abdomen, Carbo vegetabilis prefers the upper , and Lycopodium - its lower part...”

“In Lycopodium constipation predominates and, like Nux vomica, there may be a frequent and ineffectual desire to stool, but while in Nux vomicay this desire arises from irregular peristaltic activity, in Lycopodium it seems to be associated with spasmodic constriction of the anus. , which prevents bowel movements and causes severe pain...”

“Lypocodium has often saved advanced cases of pneumonia from developing into consumption...” We have already given characteristic indications for this: a wrinkled forehead, fan-shaped swelling of the wings of the nose, increased fever at 16-20 hours, etc.

Lycopodium is known as a "chill" remedy, yet it is one of several remedies that appear in the Repertory under the heading "Amelioration from Cold." But in general Lycopodium is relieved by heat, hot drinks, etc.

Now let's turn to Kent. “In the Lycopodium patient, the thinness is more pronounced in the upper part of the body, while the limbs appear well nourished... The Lycopodium patient cannot eat oysters. They cause him a wide variety of ailments: headache, pain in the ovaries, cough, etc. Apparently oysters are poison to such a person, just as onions are poison to the Thuja patient. The Acidum oxalicum patient cannot eat strawberries. If you encounter a patient who becomes ill from strawberries, tomatoes or oysters, and you do not have a homeopathic medicine cabinet on hand, remember that a piece of cheese can help with the normal absorption of these foods.”

“Eruptions, and sometimes ulcers and abscesses of Lycopodium, are characterized by amelioration from cold. Cooling the affected part of the body improves the condition of the Lycopodium patient in the same way that warming improves the well-being of the Arsenicum patient... Usually, the older members of the family, trying to help the sick relative, apply hot compresses or lotions to the affected part of the body, but this only aggravates the suffering of the Lycopodium patient.”

"Fatigue. Mental fatigue, chronic fatigue, forgetfulness, aversion to everything new, a new position; disgust for one's own work."

“Silence, taciturnity: desire to be alone. If there are two adjoining rooms in the house, the Lycopodium patient will retire to one of them, but will feel calmer if there is someone else in the next room. This is the peculiarity of the mental state of Lycopodium...”

“Having met a friend, the Lycopodium patient often loses self-control and cries... An unusual sadness comes over him with tears when he is given something. The slightest joy makes him cry... cries even when they thank him.”

“The left foot is cold, the right foot is warm... red sand in the urine; sediment in urine resembling red pepper..."

Regarding sore throat and diphtheria, and the characteristic spread of the inflammatory process, Kent says that “the Lachesis patient is relieved by cold, and when trying to drink something warm, he has spasms in the throat; while the Lycopodium patient is relieved by warm drinks, although sometimes he gets better from cold drinks.” It is important to remember this, otherwise you may refuse this remedy where it is indicated.

In order to work quickly and efficiently, especially with a large flow of patients, you need to become well acquainted with a couple of dozen tools, and then, with a quick glance at the patient and asking a minimum number of questions, you can easily make the right prescription. Such medicines are Sepia, Sulfur. Lycopodium, Calcarea, Silicea, Natrium muriaticum, Arsenicum, Bryonia, and in acute cases - Aconitum, Belladonna, Bryonia, Rhus, Gelsemium, Baptisia and several other important remedies that are simply impossible to do without. Each of the listed medications has clear distinctive characteristics, a good knowledge of which will help you avoid offensive mistakes. To ensure that the reader can easily grasp the essence of each homeopathic remedy, we often resort to repetition and try to present the most important symptoms and indications. Having such a medicinal arsenal, it is possible to make effective homeopathic prescriptions in most cases of common diseases.

Lycopodium in the treatment of aneurysm

Dr. Hughes mentions one very interesting indication. He says: “Lycopodium has been recommended by some doctors for the treatment of aneurysms, but until recently I did not attach much importance to it. In one case, which was supervised by Dr. Madden and your humble servant, it was, in all likelihood, an aortic aneurysm, which ceased to be detected after taking this drug, prescribed on the basis of general complaints. Some time later I witnessed a striking cure by this remedy of a carotid aneurysm in an elderly lady who had sought treatment for dyspeptic disorders, which was the basis for the prescription of Lycopodium. The shooting pains at the site of the aneurysm disappeared within the first three days of taking Lycopodium; and after two weeks the enlarged section of the artery was reduced by half; Since then, the size of the aneurysm has not changed, and it has not caused the patient any pain or any other inconvenience.”

Compound

The natural medicinal composition is modeled on the basis of a tincture of clubmoss spores. This biologically active plant ingredient is saturated with acids, terpenes, and other beneficial substances.

Thanks to the tincture of clubmoss spores, Lycopodium has a multidirectional therapeutic effect on the body. Lactose and ethyl alcohol are introduced into the chemical formula of the drug as auxiliary components.

The first is a disaccharide consisting of glucose and galactose. It serves as a nutrient substrate for the development of beneficial intestinal microflora - lacto- and bifidobacteria.

Milk sugar improves the absorption and assimilation of calcium, which is necessary for the formation and normal functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Lactose, when taken orally, gives salivary fluid its characteristic viscosity.

This improves the dissolution of food products and increases the sensitivity of the taste buds of the oral cavity. Another auxiliary component of Lycopodium is ethyl alcohol, contained in low concentrations, which allows the drug to be prescribed to children.

This chemically aggressive compound has pronounced antiseptic properties and the ability to inhibit the vital activity of pathogenic microorganisms, inactivating their proteins and dissolving the cell membrane.

Ethyl alcohol exhibits high activity against viral agents, gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. Some indications for the use of Lycopodium are associated with such properties.

The main physiologically active component of the homeopathic remedy, clubmoss spores are a complex biochemical complex of plant origin.

Composition of pollen tincture:

Lycopodium is a homeopathy whose indications for use include many functional disorders. A natural drug with a unique chemical formula and a balanced component composition is prescribed for sore throat, tonsillitis, and other inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract.

Composition and concentration

The drug Lycopodium consists of a tincture of pollen from a herbaceous plant - moss moss, which is collected in the forests. This remedy is sometimes included as a component in other homeopathic preparations. Available either as a tincture or as granules. In the tincture, the active ingredient is diluted in ethyl alcohol, and the granules contain milk sugar. In addition to the composition and form of release, concentration is important in homeopathy - a more highly diluted drug is more effective and efficient. For example, “Lycopodium 200” is prescribed for serious diagnoses, diseases that occur in a severe form, when the patient complains of poor health and pronounced symptoms.

"Lycopodium 30" is prescribed for pathology of moderate severity, when pronounced symptoms are observed, but in general the patient feels satisfactory. This dosage is most often found in prescriptions. But “Lycopodium 6” is suitable as a prophylactic for pathologies on which the medicine has a beneficial effect.

Release form

The drug is produced in the form of an ethyl-based alcohol solution for oral administration. It supplies pharmacies in 50 ml tinted glass bottles.

The approximate price of the drug with the concentration of the active substance C200 is 140 rubles. Another form of release, intended for children, is a small white homeopathic tablet.

Chemical composition

Lycopodium grows mainly in pine forests; its stem and branches are densely covered with small, pointed, linear-lanceolate leaves that resemble scales. Spikelets on spore-bearing branches ripen in July-August and, thanks to the spores that have ripened in them, acquire a yellowish tint. Only mature pale yellow spores of the plant are used for medicinal purposes. The spikelets are carefully cut and dried, and then after sifting, lycopodium powder is obtained - float pollen. The chemical composition of the spores is presented:

• Fatty oil with a content of up to 50%, including stearic, aroquinic, palmitic, dihydroxystearic, linoleic, oleic and myristic acid;
• Carotenoids;
• Phytosterol;
• Sporonine is a polymer terpene;
• Proteins;
• Glycerin;
• Sugars;
• Minerals.

The branches of lycopodium also contain alkaloids - clavatine, lycodin, lycopodine and others.

Pharmacodynamics

Lycopodium is a universal homeopathic remedy with anticonvulsant, diuretic, and neuroprotective effects. The drug normalizes digestive function, improves metabolic processes, and promotes the synthesis of protein proteins.

Analgesic and bactericidal effects allow it to be used for inflammation, colds, and chronic pathologies of the respiratory system. Lycopodium normalizes sleep, improves appetite, and increases nerve conductivity.

The pharmacodynamic properties of the homeopathic drug are based on the ability of the matrix tincture of clubmoss to penetrate deeply into the tissues of internal organs and attach to cell membranes, intensifying metabolic processes in them.

The physiologically active component of the medicinal composition eliminates inflammation of the urinary tract and reproductive system caused by the activity of pathogenic microorganisms.

It tones the smooth muscles of the intestines, improving the breakdown and digestion of foods. Lycopodium allows you to quickly get rid of dyspepsia and painful symptoms of cirrhosis.

Who is Lycopodium for?

Constitutional type of lycopodium - people who seem older than their age. They are characterized by a narrow, compressed chest and a large belly. The reason for this is usually that the main ailment of a person lies in the stomach.

Patients are characterized by poor development of leg muscles, they often have varicose veins, and their ankles swell. The skin tone of the face is yellowish, there are early deep wrinkles. In general, the deterioration of the body is noticeable at first glance. The eyes stand out - they are very bright, revealing a thinking and intelligent person. Often, the constitutional type of lycopodium has a nervous tic.

Lycopodium is a right-sided homeopathic remedy.

Pharmacokinetics

The maximum plasma concentration is achieved after 30-40 minutes. after oral administration. The bioavailability of the drug is 95-98%. The physiologically active substances of the drug are metabolized in the liver under the influence of its enzymes.

Lycopodium binds to blood proteins by 15%. Homeopathy is easily removed from the body without causing intoxication even with prolonged use. Indications for use include treating impotence in men and increasing libido in women.

Elimination occurs primarily through the kidneys and urinary tract. Approximately 10% of the medicinal composition is found in fecal matter. The natural ingredients of the herbal medicine do not accumulate in tissues, being almost completely dissolved in the biological fluids of the body.

Doses and use of lycopodium

The homeopathic drug Lycopodium in small doses can have a positive effect on the affected organs. However, in what dilution you should take it, as well as understand in what proportions you can take such a well-known drug as homeopathic arnica, the doctor will determine. Lycopodium 200 is considered one of the most effective in homeopathy. High dilutions are almost unanimously considered preferable. However, dilutions of 12 and 30 are popular among prescriptions. It is believed that the remedy has a particularly beneficial effect on children and the elderly. The homeopathic drug Lycopodium can be prescribed in the following cases:

Digestive disorders, dyspepsia, liver cirrhosis, hemorrhoids; Stones in the liver, kidneys; Diseases of the respiratory system, such as chronic bronchitis, runny nose; Night blindness; Sexual weakness; Inflammation of the parotid gland in scarlet fever. The ability to simultaneously influence the peripheral and central nervous systems determined the use of the homeopathic remedy Lycopodium in the treatment of nervous diseases. It helps to heal severe headaches that occur in the crown area, as well as disorders and even loss of speech. Skin diseases, in particular lichen, are also susceptible to the effects of the drug.

Lycopodium in homeopathy is classified as a right-sided remedy. This means that the right side of the human body is predominantly affected. In particular, this is the right ovary, liver, right kidney. However, this does not mean that the drug will not have any effect on the left kidney. It’s just that in the case when an organ located in the right half of the human body is affected by the disease, among similar drugs the doctor may choose lycopodium precisely because of this characteristic.

Application

Lycopodium is taken exclusively orally. An alcohol solution is intended for adults. The dosage is calculated individually depending on the nature and severity of the pathological process.

It is necessary to observe intervals with meals. The drug can be used as a drying powder to treat skin wounds with bacterial infection. Lycopodium eliminates diaper rash, treats weeping eczema, and relieves allergic itching.

When determining the daily dose, the doctor takes into account the child’s age and individual characteristics of the body. Clinical indications are taken into account.

Lycopodium is often prescribed to children for acute respiratory infections and scarlet fever - an infectious process provoked by a hemolytic streptococcal agent of class A. Depending on the desired therapeutic effect, the degree of dilution of the active substance is selected - C16 or C30.

For pregnant

It is highly undesirable for women carrying a child to take this homeopathic medicine. No studies have been conducted on the teratogenic properties of the drug and the effect of its physiologically active components on intrauterine development.

Dosages and course duration

It is not recommended to select and take homeopathic medicines on your own.
Only contacting a specialist - a hepatologist - can guarantee the maximum therapeutic effect. In this case, the doctor must have a higher medical education and a license that gives the right to engage in such activities of a therapeutic nature. When prescribing, the hepatologist will be able to take into account a lot of factors and give the patient the necessary information about the intake, possible side effects, and the duration of the course. Typically, the prescribed number of Lycopodium granules for a single dose is placed under the tongue. For complete absorption into the hypoglossal vein, they must be kept until completely dissolved. The alcohol tincture is diluted in water in the proportion specified by the doctor. A couple of tablespoons of the diluted product are also kept in the mouth for some time, up to one minute, and only then swallowed. But you have to do it in the morning until you decide to brush your teeth with mint paste.

Contraindications

Lycopodium is not prescribed to children under 3 years of age. A homeopathic remedy has a minimum number of absolute clinical contraindications and situational restrictions on use.

It is advisable to stop taking the drug during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. You should not use the medication during lactation due to its ability to pass into breast milk.

Absolute contraindications to the use of Lycopodium:

1. Acute renal failure. This pathological condition worsens the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the drug.

2. Tendency to immediate anaphylactic reactions in children. This is especially true for allergies to products of plant origin.
3. Individual intolerance to the components of the chemical formula of the drug. Hypersensitivity to the contents of the medicinal composition is fraught with the development of numerous side effects.
4. Kidney dysfunction associated with inhibition of enzymatic processes. These include cirrhosis, hepatitis, cholestasis.

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus should take homeopathic medicine with extreme caution. Lycopodium is not prescribed for glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome due to the milk sugar it contains.

It is important to know that the remedy, like any representative of homeopathy, has one important feature. In most cases, after the first dose, an active reaction of the body occurs - patients experience:

• nausea;
• headache;
• weakness;
• general malaise.

The symptoms against which the drug was prescribed and taken may manifest themselves more actively. This condition can last up to 6 hours. After this, the patient's condition stabilizes. Later, the dynamics of recovery become rapid - the patient feels significant relief in his health. But if this does not happen, you should immediately consult a doctor.

But in most cases, Lycopodium is tolerated easily and without complications.

Overdose

Lycopodium is a homeopathy, the indications for use of which include the use of a homeopathic medicine for headaches localized in the parietal region of the temporal part, speech disorders, and increased irritability. The drug has a high established safety profile.

Even if the maximum clinically appropriate daily dose is regularly exceeded, signs of drug intoxication are not detected. The active ingredients of the drug do not accumulate in the tissues of the body, but are excreted in full within 3-4 hours after administration.

In the practice of using Lycopodium, not a single case of overdose has been recorded. Nevertheless, you should not exceed the individual norm calculated by the homeopathic doctor. This does not enhance the therapeutic effect and increases the risk of dyspeptic symptoms.

Side effects

The use of homeopathy rarely leads to the development of unwanted reactions. Almost all of them are associated with hypersensitivity or biological immunity to the components of the drug.

At the initial stage of treatment with Lycopodium, an exacerbation of the symptoms of the disease is possible, which does not require discontinuation of the therapeutic course. This phenomenon is due to the body’s adaptation to new physiologically active chemical compounds.

After the end of the biological adaptation process, such effects disappear on their own. In some cases, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness may occur.

In children, short-term side effects are manifested by decreased appetite, general lethargy, or, conversely, increased nervous excitability, and bowel dysfunction. Allergic reactions include nasal congestion, skin rash without itching, and inflammation of the conjunctival membrane of the eyes.
