MELIONSBROTHER

SIZE 6 X 10 TABLETS

Multi‐drug ayurvedic formulation that helps in the management of heart failure and allied cardiovascular disorders.

• Increase force of contraction of the heart muscle, reduces LV mass, increases LVEF (hridya)

• Protect heart from cardio‐toxins (ojasya)

• Lower preload by increasing urine production (mutrala)

• Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna)

  

  Arjuna is cardiotonic (hridya), cardio-protective (visha-jit), anti-dyslipidemic (medo-hara), anti-diabetic (prameha-hara), wound-healer (vrana-hara), anti-ischemic (asra-jit), and antioxidant (kshaya-jit). In addition, it protects myocardium against ischemic damage (kshata-jit). It is a mild diuretic, anti-thrombotic, and prostaglandin E(2) enhancer. It reduces left ventricular mass, increases left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and reverses impaired endothelial function. Arjuna is also known as Terminalia arjuna.

  Akik

  

  Akik is cardiotonic (hrid-balya) and thus beneficial in cardiac debility (hridaya-durbalata).

  Zaharmohra

  

  Zaharmohra is cardiotonic (hrid-balya) and thus useful in cardiac debility (hridaya-durbalata).

  Gandira (Coleus forskohlii)

  

  Gandira owing to its diterpene derivative forskolin activates the enzyme adenylate cyclase to promote the generation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). cAMP is a cell-regulating compound that stimulates various enzymes involved in a broad range of cellular function, including energy production. Activation of adenylate cyclase by forskolin correlates with its positive cardiotonic (inotropic) and vasodilator effects. Forskolin directly stimulates the catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase independently of any receptor mediated mechanism of action. Gandira is also known as Coleus forskohlii.

  Vana‐palandu (Urginea indica)

  

  Vanaplandu has been described to increase the force of contraction of the heart muscle like digitalis. It is thus used in the management of heart failure (hrid-roga-janya-shotha). Urginea indica (Roxb.) Kunth (Liliaceae), known as Indian squill, is a good substitute for the Mediterranean squill (U. maritima (L.) Baker) used worldwide as a cardiac drug. The cardiac glycoside obtained from U. indica (Roxb.) Kunth is similar to scillarens, A and B of the Mediterranean squill with very little difference. Vanaplandu is also known as Urginea indica.
