Nuks vomika C15, 4 g

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Homeopathic remedy

Pharmacological action
Nux vomica is made from the dried seeds of the vomiting nut, a tree with non-fading foliage native to Southeast Asia.

The chemical composition:

– fatty acids;
– polysaccharides;
– iridoids, among them loganoside;
– alkaloids (3%), mainly strychnine (45% of alkaloids) and brucine – the main active substances; traces of minor alkaloids – colubrin, vomicin, novacin are also present.

allergic rhinitis, periodic or non-periodic, with sneezing in bursts upon awakening, upon getting out of bed, or during the day.
