Reason for useCowperthwaite
Through the medulla oblongata and the inferior recurrent branch of the pneumogastric, Causticum produces paralysis of the vocal organs, together with an inflammation of the mucous lining of the larynx and trachea. It also causes paresis of the portio dura, thus paralyzing all the muscles of the face, and causes paresis of the sphincter vesicae. Its main sphere of chemical application has therefore been in paralytic affections and laryngeotracheal catarrhs, aphonia being its chief indication in the latter affections. Characteristic symptoms.
