Clinical Tips & Practitioner Insights

"The condition which most frequently calls for OPIUM is paralytic ileus after an abdominal section. There is a loop of bowel which is completely paralysed, accompanied by reversed peristalsis and the pumping of bile back into the stomach. The patient is horribly sick and brings up masses of bile stained, rather foul smelling vomit and has an extreme sensation of abdominal distension. I think that is the commonest condition in which OPIUM is most useful. Incidentally, it is very interesting that in the majority of cases in which you get a paralytic ileus, you find there is a history that OPIUM or one of its derivatives has been given before or after operation."

By Dr. D.M.Borland, M.B.,Ch.B. Paralytic Ileus

"OPIUM is indicated when retention of urine follows parturition. I have twice confirmed."

By Dr. E.A.Farrington, M.D. Retention of Urine after Parturition

"OPIUM is a drug to be thought of for those abnormal children who lie and steal, and are heading for a mental institution."

By Dr. M.L.Tyler, M.D. Lying & Stealing in children
