ARGENTUM NITRICUM Medicine



In gonorrhoea, Argentum nit. is of value when there is profuse, purulent discharge, intense cutting or splinter-like pains (194) and more or less blood in the urine.

It is useful in leucorrhoea, due to gonorrhoeal infection or other wise, profuse (126), purulent and bloody discharge.

Remember it in post-diphtheritic paralyses (62, for paralysis of the diaphragm and in threatening paralysis of the lungs (30), with fear of suffocation, distress in the stomach and great accumulation of gases.

In angina pectoris (107) we want to think of this remedy, when there is great pain, fear or suffocation, with difficulty in breathing, and a feeling of a bar or band around the chest (165).

I use Argentum nit. 6th.
