Henbane Overview
Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) is a plant that belongs to the Solanaceae family, which also includes other plants such as tomatoes and peppers. It is native to Europe and Asia, and it has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its sedative, analgesic, and antispasmodic properties.
Henbane contains several alkaloids, the most notable of which is hyoscyamine, a compound that is available as a prescription drug and used for the treatment of various gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders.
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.
