  • It has proved to be very useful in the treatment of inherited Gonorrhoeal diseases .
  • The role of Syphilinum in the treatment of hereditary Syphilis is similar to that of Medorrhinum in hereditary Gonorrhoea.

  • If the kidney pain gets worse with cold, then Ma g Phos 6X repeated a few times or simply one dose of Colocynth CM will offer magical relief.

  • So I gave him Medorrhinum instead of Colocynth CM wherupon his original symptoms returned including the severe pain.
  • Had I continued to treat him with a high potency of Medorrhinum, he might have been completely cured.
  • The patient was rather impatient, so I gave him Co locynth, instead of Medorrhinum as I had proposed.
