Nux Vomica Overview

Nux vomica, also known as Strychnos nux-vomica, is a tree native to Southeast Asia. It contains strychnine and brucine, which are highly toxic alkaloids. Traditionally, small amounts of Nux vomica have been used in some traditional medicine systems for specific therapeutic purposes, but its use is highly controversial and not recommended due to the risk of severe poisoning and potentially fatal outcomes.

Plerixafor Overview

  • Plerixafor injection is used along with a granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) medication such as filgrastim (Neupogen) or pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) to prepare the blood for an autologous stem cell transplant (procedure in which certain blood cells are removed from the body and then returned to the body after chemotherapy and/or radiation) in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL; cancer that begins in a type of white blood cells that normally fights infection) or multiple myeloma (a type of cancer of the bone marrow). Plerixafor injection is in a class of medications called hematopoeitic stem cell mobilizers. It works by causing certain blood cells to move from the bone marrow to the blood so that they can be removed for transplant.
