Cursed Buttercup Overview

Ranunculus sceleratus, commonly known as "Cursed Buttercup" or "Celery-leaved Buttercup," is a plant species found in wetland areas across parts of North America and Eurasia. While it has historical use in traditional medicine for various purposes, it is important to note that some species within the Ranunculus genus contain toxic compounds, and this particular species, in particular, is known to cause skin irritation and blistering if handled. As such, it is not recommended for use as a dietary supplement or herbal remedy due to its potential toxicity. Always exercise caution and seek professional advice before using any plant for medicinal purposes.

Foscarnet Overview

  • Foscarnet injection is used alone or with ganciclovir (Cytovene) to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis (an eye infection that can cause blindness) in people who have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Foscarnet injection is also used to treat herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections of the skin and mucus membranes (mouth, anus) in people whose immune system is not working normally and when treatment with acyclovir did not help. Foscarnet is in a class of medications called antivirals. It works by slowing the growth of CMV and HSV. Foscarnet controls CMV retinitis and HSV infections of the skin and mucus membranes but does not cure these infections.
