Indications

Use for the symptomatic management of specific pain syndromes characterized by their paroxysmal and acute nature.

• Administer for severe, colicky pain occurring at regular intervals, accompanied by spasms and sensations of twisting or crushing.
• Indicated for visceral pain localized in the stomach (with associated bloating, belching, or hiccups), intestines (with gurgling, flatulence, or urge to defecate), or uterus (with dysmenorrhea or labor pains).
• Employ for neuralgia presenting with a sensation of tendon tightness, back pain, or lumbosacral pain.

Dosage Regimen

Administer sublingually, allowing granules to dissolve completely in the mouth.

Take doses 30 minutes before or 60 minutes after meals to ensure optimal absorption.

For infants and children from 0 to 3 years old, first dilute the granules by shaking them in 10-15 ml of room temperature water and administer the resulting liquid to drink.

The standard and optimal single dose is 5 granules. The specific potency (C5, C9, C15, C30), frequency of administration, and total duration of treatment must be determined by a physician based on individual patient presentation.
