Those predisposed to miscarry should not receive [Apis] except in high potencies.
Relationship
Antidotes to massive doses and in poisoning: [Natr] [mur.,] the substance, the solution, the potencies; sweet oil, as it contains table salt; onions; bleeding is decidedly a bad palliative, and is in most cases injurious.
Antidotes to potencies: after overdosing, [Ipec], low, relieved much; to drink coffee, seems indifferent; some have given [Apis], high, Laches, and Lact ac.
(Has been given in ailments from stings, and from anthrax infection).
It is an antidote to Canthar. (Ischuria, inflammation of bladder, acute Bright’s disease); abuse of [Iodium], [Cinchon], Digit.
It follows well after vaccination (erysipelas, painless diarrhoea); after [Sulphur], in panaritium.
After it follows well: Graphit. (tetter on ear-lobe); [Arsen]. (hydrothorax); [phosphor]. (absorption of the false membrane in diphtheria): [Stramon]. After [Apis] has removed the jealousy in mania; [Lycop]. (in staphyloma); [Sulphur] (in hydrothorax, pleuritic effusion, hydrocephalus); [Iodium] (in puffy, swollen knee).
Complementary: Natr. mur.
Has been given in alternation in cases when the change of symptoms indicated it with: [Iodium] in swelling of knee; [Sulphur] in swollen eyes: Hepar in urticaria; [Mercur]. in ascites with peritonitis; [Lycop]. in staphyloma.
It often disagrees after Rhus tox. in eruptive diseases; and Rhus tox. given after [Apis] has often disagreed.
Collateral relation (belonging to the same family); Bombus, Crabro. Vespa.
It has cured where [Bellad]. failed in cough of horses; where [Bryon].,[Canthar].,[Digit]., [Helleb]., etc., had failed in albuminuria after scarlatina; cases in which Pulsat., seemingly indicated, failed, especially in uterine complaints; when [Thuja]. [Phosphor]., [Canthar]., etc., had failed in affections of the prostate gland.
