ARSENATE OF QUINIA.
Introduction
Chininum ars., a chemical combinations of quinine and arsenic, has to a great extent a combination of China and Arsenicum symptoms, with prostration very marked.
Symptoms
It is to be thought of in protracted diseases that show no tendency towards convalescence, and with great exhaustion as a pronounced feature. It has been a disappointment to me in this respect, as a tonic (156), and I much prefer the use of Arsenicum iod.
China ars. has been used in angina pectoris (107), the paroxysms occurring periodically and associated with burning pain and great prostration, and for asthmatic attacks, during phthisis, recurring each day at the same hour.
I have used Chin, ars only in the 3x.
