Abstract:
The effects of Nux vomica (D4, D6, DIO), Nux vomica-Homaccord ad us. vet. and
Atropinum compositum ad us. vet. were studied in vitro, using rabbit jejunum. Nux vomica
D4, D6, DIO and Nux vomica-Homaccord ad us. vet. caused marked increases (4.8%, 43.4%, 65% and 49.3% respectively) in amplitude of contraction of the jejunum. D4 caused significant (<0.05) increases in only 5 experiments, while D6, D10 and Nux vomica-Homaccord ad us. vet. caused highly significant contraction (p<0.01) increases in amplitude of contraction in all experiments.
