Bistort Overview

Bistort is a perennial plant native to Europe, North America, and Asia, known for its medicinal uses. Its rhizome, root, and leaves contain various compounds like tannins, phenolics, flavonoids, and steroids, which may contribute to its potential anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer effects. Traditionally, it has been used for treating conditions such as diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections, and for wound healing, but its overall safety and effectiveness require further research.

Inclisiran Overview

  • Inclisiran injection is used along with diet alone or in combination with other cholesterol-lowering medications to decrease the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') in the blood in people with familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) (an inherited condition in which cholesterol cannot be removed from the body normally). It is also used along with diet changes and other treatments to reduce the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') in the blood in people who have clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Inclisiran injection is in a class of medications called proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9)-interfering mRNA. It works by decreasing the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body.
