CHOLESTERINUM

Cholesterinum is a unique homoeopathic medicine prepared from Cholesterine, a crystalline substance found abundantly in bile and biliary calculi. It is recognized for its strong affinity to the liver, especially in chronic and critical hepatic conditions, including jaundice, gall-stone formation, and suspected malignant or semi-malignant liver disease.The medicine has been successfully employed in managing advanced liver affections. It also exhibits beneficial action on vitreous opacities, making it valuable in certain chronic ophthalmic complaints. Cholesterinum is often considered in cases where there is persistent hepatic engorgement or cancer-like involvement of the liver and adjacent organs.
