BACILLINUM

Bacillinum is a Homoeopathic medicine prepared from a maceration of a typical tuberculous lung, introduced by Dr. Burnett. It acts deeply and constitutionally, especially in individuals with a tubercular diathesis or those susceptible to chronic respiratory illness. It is highly beneficial in managing catarrhal and suffocative respiratory conditions, reducing purulent sputum, and supporting patients with weakened pulmonary function. Bacillinum is particularly suited to elderly patients with chronic lung complaints and individuals with a strong tendency to catch colds.
