Drug Relationships
Dr. John Henry Glarke published relationships of drugs on the basis of
the secondary action of the drug or the response to the drug by the sick
individual in his "Clinical Repertory to the Dictionary of Materia
Medica" in the chapter "Clinical Relationships". These relationships
include the following headings:
1.Complementary Remedies, 2.Remedy follows well, 3.Remedy is followed
well by or precedes well, 4.Compatible Remedies, 5.Incompatible
Remedies, 6.Remedy Antidotes.
1. Complementary Remedies are those that remove all the remaining
symptoms after the action of the simillimum. For example complementary
remedies for Lycopodium are: Chel., Iod., Ign., Ipecac (in capillary
bronchitis)., Kali iod., Lach., Puls.
2. Remedies follows well are those, which are supplementary and are
considered as the second prescription when the complementary remedy is
not known. For example if above-mentioned remedies as complementary to
Lycopodium are not indicated from the response of the patient then one
of the remedies that follows well should be considered. They are: Cal
carb., Lach and Sulphur.
3 Remedy is followed well by or Remedy that precedes well are those
remedies that are generally indicated and when given produce such a
response that clears up the picture of the true simillimum. For example
remedies that proceed well before Lycopodium are: Anacardium., Bell.,
Bryonia., Cinchona., Dros., Graphites . Hyos., Kali Carb., Lachesis.,
Ledum., Nux Vom., Phos., Plus., Sepia., Sil., Stram.; Ther., Verat alb
and sometimes Cal carb.
4. Compatible Remedies are those that do not interfere in the action of
the main remedy and may be given after the simillimum on the basis of
special symptoms. For example Compatible Remedies to Lycopodium are:
Bell., Bry., Cal carb., (Pre-disposition to constipation, hard stools
evacuated with difficulty or urging ineffective)., Carbo veg (a dose of
Carbo veg. every 8th day facilitates action of Lycopodium)., Graphites,
Hyos., Lach., Led , Phos., Sep., Sil., Stram., Sulph., and Verat alb.
5. Incompatible Remedies are those that do not follow well after the
first prescription. They may be inimical or antidotal. For example the
following remedies are antidotal to Lycopodium: Acon., Camphor., Caust.,
Cham., Op., Graph, Puls.
6. Remedy Antidotes are those remedies that are antidoted by the remedy.
For example: Lycopodium antidotes China.
7. Remedy is antidoted by those that remove the good effect of the
remedy by antidotal action. They are already considered in the category
of Incompatible remedies. They are: Acon., Camph., Caust., Cham., Cof.,
Graph., Nux v., Puls., which antidote the good effects of Lycopodium.
