What is Helixor® and what is it used for?

Helixor® is an anthroposophic medicine for the extended treatment of tumor diseases.In accordance with the anthroposophical knowledge of humanity and nature, Helixor® is used in adults to stimulate form and integration forces to dissolve and reintegrate growth processes that have become independent.This includes malignant tumor diseases, including those with accompanying disorders of the blood-forming organs, benign tumor diseases, defined precancerous lesions and the prevention of relapses after tumor operations.

Particular caution is required if you are hypersensitive to other substances.In this case, careful dosing under careful follow-up by the doctor is necessary.In the case of primary brain and spinal cord tumors or intracranial metastases with a risk of increased intracranial pressure, the preparations should only be administered according to strict indications and under close clinical control.

If Helixor® is used with other medicines, especially immune-active medicines, you should consult your doctor beforehand.Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or using other medicines.

How to use Helixor® A/M/P?

Always use Helixor® exactly as your doctor has told you.The injection is carried out subcutaneously, if possible near the tumor or metastasis or at different locations on the intact skin.Do not inject into inflamed skin areas or radiation areas.

The usual dose is one subcutaneous injection 2-3 times weekly.Therapy begins with an introductory phase in which the dose is gradually increased.The optimal dose must be determined individually and depends on various reactions such as subjective well-being, temperature reaction, immunological reaction and local inflammatory reaction at the injection site.

A reduction in dose may be necessary during radiation or chemotherapy.In the maintenance phase, treatment continues at the determined optimal individual dose.To avoid habituation effects, rhythmic use with alternation of smaller doses and the introduction of breaks is recommended.

What side effects are possible?

A slight increase in body temperature, localized inflammatory reactions around the injection site and temporary slight swelling of regional lymph nodes are harmless.If there is a fever over 38 °C or major local reactions over 5 cm in diameter, the next injection should only be given after these symptoms have subsided and at a reduced strength or dose.

Possible side effects include allergic or allergy-like reactions, activation of pre-existing inflammation, inflammatory irritation of superficial veins in the injection area and the occurrence of chronic granulomatous inflammation or autoimmune diseases.An immunosuppressive effect of higher doses cannot be ruled out.
