"Cannabis
Indica a valuable remedy in menorrhagia"
My
experience of Indian hemp confirms Mr. Oliver's in some particulars, especially
its physiological action. In no
case has it produced pleasurable feelings, generally most alarming symptoms,
such as complete paralysis, horrible hallucinations, double consciousness, etc.
A young practitioner should be most careful in prescribing, and warn
patients of its action, or he may lose their confidence.
Indian hemp has been vaunted as an anodyne and hypnotic having the good
qualities of opium without its evils. Also
in dysmenorrhea. In this complaint
and insomnia it has not proved of much benefit.
The drug has almost invariably produced some marked physiological effect
even in small doses. Text-books
give the dose as ten minims and upward, but five minims is the, largest dose
that should be given at first. If
bought from a good house, the drug is not inert or unreliable.
A drug having such marked physiological action ought to have a- specific
use as a therapeutic agent. Indian
hemp has such specific use in menorrhagia.
There is no medicine which has given such good results.
For this reason it ought to take the first place as a remedy in
menorrhagia; then bromide of potassium and other drugs.
The modus operandi I can not explain, unless it be that it diverts a
larger proportion of blood to the brain, and lessens the muscular force of the
heart. A few doses are sufficient.
The following is the prescription:
Â
Tincturae cannabis indicae III xxx;
Pulveris tragac. co
3J
Spiritus chlorof
3J
Aquam ad
3iJ
One ounce every three hours.
Four years ago I was
called to see Mrs. W., aged forty, multipara.
She had suffered from menorrhagia for several months.
Her medical attendant had tried the ordinary remedies without success.
Indian hemp was given as above. Its
action was speedy and certain. Only
one bottle was taken. She was
afterward treated for anemia, due to loss of blood.
Twelve months after this my patient sent for a bottle of the "green
medicine." I learned afterward
that she had sent this medicine to a lady friend who had been unsuccessfully
treated by another medical man for several months for the same complaint.
It proved equally successful. The
failures are so few that I venture to call it a specific in menorrhagia.
The drug deserves a trial. It
may occasionally fail. This,
however, is not to be' wondered at in a complaint due to so many different
causes, and associated with anemia and other cases of plethora. (John Brown, L.
R. C. P., in British Medical journal.)
[
From Page 255]
CANNABIS INDICA, in
doses of five minims of the tincture every three hours, is recommended in
menorrhagia.
