When is choleodorone used?
According to anthroposophical knowledge of man and nature, choleodorone can be used in diseases and congestion in the liver-gallbladder area, inflammatory diseases of the bile ducts and the gallbladder as well as in the case of fat intolerance.
Choleodoron is a combination of two medicinal plants that have a special effect on bile formation and bile excretion. The Javanese turmeric (Curcuma xanthorrhiza), a medicinal and spice plant that comes from the tropics, can primarily promote the flow of bile and generally have a stimulating effect on the juice secretion of the digestive tract. The local celandine (chelidonium) can normalize bile formation and also has an antispasmodic effect. Choleodorone thus particularly supports the normal function of the bile during digestion.
What do you need to know about this?
If your doctor has prescribed other medicines for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether choleodorone can be taken at the same time.
When should choleodorone not be taken or should it only be taken with caution?
Patients with severe liver disease and past liver inflammation should only take choleodorone after consulting their doctor. If other medications, especially hormone preparations, are taken at the same time, the liver values must be checked regularly by a doctor.
Choleodorone should not be taken continuously for more than 4 weeks. If taken for a long time, the liver values must be checked.
Do not use in children under 6 years of age.
Tell your doctor, pharmacist or druggist if you
- suffer from other diseases,
- have allergies or
- take other medicines (including those you bought yourself!).
