When should Clinaliane be taken before surgery?
Clinaliane is a compound homeopathic medicine available in granule form. Each tube contains a combination of three homeopathic remedies: Apis mellifica 15 CH, Arnica montana 9 CH, and Hypericum perforatum 15 CH.
Clinaliane is a homeopathic medicine traditionally used as an adjunctive treatment during preparation for and recovery from surgery, like other over-the-counter homeopathic medicines. It is indicated for three conditions: pain, bruising, and swelling. In the absence of scientific data, this indication is based on the traditional homeopathic use of its components.
It is intended for adults and children over 18 months of age, for a short period surrounding the procedure: the days leading up to it, and then the days following it.
How should these granules be taken before and after surgery?
Dosage
Sublingual administration: 5 granules per dose, to be allowed to dissolve under the tongue. For children under 6 years of age, the granules should be dissolved in water before administration.

Our expert advice on Clinaliane
The key consideration before hospitalization is the discharge date. The first phase begins three days before the procedure: the box must therefore be at home no later than the day before that date. However, there’s no need to order two boxes. Even at the highest dosage, the full treatment regimen requires fewer than 200 granules, while a 4-gram tube contains about 80: a single box covers the eight days. Slip a tube into your hospital bag for the doses on the day of the procedure.
Mention Clinaliane during the pre-anesthesia consultation, along with any other current medications, and strictly follow the fasting instructions given for the day before and the morning of the procedure. The first dose on the day of the surgery is taken after the procedure, once the healthcare team gives the go-ahead.
At the pharmacy counter, the most common question after surgery is how to distinguish between a bruise that will resolve on its own and a complication. Swelling that increases instead of decreasing, warm redness, discharge from the incision site, or a fever are reasons to call the surgical team immediately, without waiting for the protocol to be completed.
FAQ
Can I take Clinaliane for a wisdom tooth extraction?
Clinaliane is indicated for use before and after surgical procedures, regardless of the type of procedure. A tooth extraction performed by a dentist or oral surgeon falls under this category. Since the treatment regimen begins three days in advance, it assumes a scheduled procedure with a date known beforehand.
Can I take Clinaliane along with pain relievers or anticoagulants prescribed after my surgery?
The Summary of Product Characteristics for Clinaliane does not mention any drug interactions. Clinaliane is an adjunct therapy: it is added to the treatment prescribed by the surgeon or anesthesiologist and does not replace it. Prescribed pain relievers, blood thinners, or antibiotics should be continued exactly as indicated on the prescription.
Can I take Clinaliane if I have diabetes?
The Clinaliane package insert does not list diabetes among its contraindications. Its granules consist of sucrose and lactose, which are the only excipients. A person with diabetes whose treatment requires careful monitoring of sugar intake should consult their doctor or pharmacist before starting this regimen.
