Oh my goodness! I was thinking of the word “cholagogue” and maybe same root, I was way off. I have heard of scopolamine. Wow, atropine, too, probably such tiny amounts so harmless.
Just wondering - do you have more than one brain?
:^D Well, I am fairly certain that I have more than half of a brain!
My doctor often introduces me as a doctor, for which I chide him and wish he would stop. I am a student of medical subjects that interest me, just as you study medical uses for herbs. A surgical procedure I had about a year ago, I discovered that the surgical staff was wondering if I was a pharmacist. With my spinal surgery two years ago the surgeon kept asking me to name the surgery for everyone that passed by. I guess they are used to patients that just say surgery on my neck or similar. He stopped when I began to grow impatient.
If you are going to operate on my spine I want to know just what you are going to do and how you are going to do it! :) Truthfully, I am losing ground any more; just can't keep up at my age with so much going on.
All Contac cold med ingredients were minor dosages - a GREAT cold med. The lawyers saw an opening and threatened to sue it off of the market, which they did. Humbug!!!
I still have some hyoscyamine around but it is so good that it can fairly quickly make it difficult to urinate - a real anticholinergic drying agent! So discretion...
