Abstract:
Pulsatilla 1000 potency administered prior to coitus and continued during days 1, 2 and 3 or 7, 8, 9 and 10 days of pregnancy bring about resorption of the foetuses in albino rats. This is brought about by an auto- immunoreaction, perhaps initiated by the foetus. A large number of lymphocytes infiltrate into the endometrium and destroy and developing foetus. A similar reaction is seen in the rats administered 10,000 potency of the drug but it brings about certain abnormalities in the structural details.
