ABSTRACT

The current article looks at the use of Hyoscine, the active ingredient of a leading homoeopathic drug called ‘Hyoscyamus Niger’. Further, there are uses of the compounds of hyoscine in the form of Hyoscine Hydro Bromatum. It is significant to note that all these drugs were introduced to Homoeopathy in the early 20th century. It is interesting to note that at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, allopathic medicines containing Hyoscine are introduced as new concepts through a new drug introduction in the market. The uses of the same plant i.e. Hyoscyamus Niger, same active ingredient i.e. Hyoscyamine & the same compounds i.e. Hyoscyaminum Hydro Bromatum become medicines for a myriad of problems when the drugs are prepared homeopathically.
