CLINICAL TRIAL

Clinical Management of idiopathic epilepsy in dogs with homoeopathic Belladonna 200C: a case series.

Homoeopathy. 2007 January, 96, 1, 46-48.

“In this uncontrolled study, 10 dogs suffering from idiopathic epilepsy were given 3-4 drops of Belladonna 200C during the seizure phase orally at 15 minute intervals until the seizure activity was reduced and this was continued then four times daily. Four dogs with head shaking syndrome in addition to seizures were given an additional Cocculus 6C, 3-4 drops orally weekly for 3 months.

As a result of this therapy, the number of fits reduced to 2-3 during the first 2 weeks post-therapy and then became occasional in the next 2 weeks. With continuation of Belladonna therapy, no fits were observed during 2-7 months follow-up. In two cases seizures reappeared within 15-25 days of cessation of therapy. Belladonna therapy was resumed and seizure control was again achieved.

Owners were advised to continue therapy at least twice daily until there were no fits for 2-3 months”.
