---------------------------------------------
Dear Harry van Schooten,
Padma 28 is avaible in Switzerland. The official composition is the
following:
1 Tablette: Aegle sepiar fructus 20 mg, Amomi fructus 25 mg,
Aquilegiae vulgaris herba 15 mg, Calcii sulfas pulv. 20 mg,
Calendulae flos 5 mg, Cardamomi fructus 30 mg,
Caryophylli flos 12 mg, Costi amari radix 40 mg,
Dextrocamphora 4 mg, Hedychii rhizoma 10 mg,
Lactucae sativae herba 6 mg, Lichen islandicus 40 mg,
Liquirtiae radix 15 mg, Meliae tousand fructus 35 mg,
Myrobalani fructus 30 mg, Plantaginis herba 15 mg,
Polygoni herba 15 mg, Potentillae aureae herba 15 mg,
Santali rubri lignum 30 mg, Sidae cordifoliae herba 10 mg,
Aconiti tuber 1 mg, Valerianae radix 10 mg, Excip. pro compr.
From the drug regulators accepted indication are the following:
(in German):
Indikationen / Anwendungsm�glichkeiten
Ameisenlaufen, Schwere- und Spannungsgef�hl in den Beinen und Armen,
Einschlafen von H�nden und F�ssen und bei Wadenkr�mpfen.
I dont know if you understand german, but you can see that the indication
is not cancer. For this indication Padma 28 has no registration. So I
cannot give you the information, which you need.
In Switzerland we often have the problem, that a drug is not used in for
the drug regulators legalisied indications. To fight against these "black"
indications is not easy and often the manufactures and the regulators know
that the people do not take a drug correct in the sense of the indication,
but they do nothing against it. Especially when the drug is not toxic. The
consequence is, that also in Switzerland people spend money
for drugs who are not useful or dangerous........
