GLONOINUM Valuable in Cerebral Congestions and Sciatica
Glyceric trisnitrate, C3H5 (NO3)3. Nitro-glycerine; product of action upon glycerine of a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids.
Its taste is sweet, pungent, and aromatic; but in ascertaining this great precaution should be used, for a very minute quantity put upon the tongue produces a violent headache for several hours. This effect was experienced by several persons in my laboratory, and I have frequently felt it myself.
(SORRERO, Comptes Rendus, Feb. 15th, 1847.)
Dr. HERING, struck by the foregoing observation, tested Gl. (so named by him from its then chemical formula) on a number of healthy persons, and published his results in the Brit. Fourn. of Hom., vol. vii (1849), and again more fully in his Amerikanische Arzneipriifungen, Nos. 1 and 2 (1853). From
the letter work we select the following :
MORRIS DAVIS took 1/10 dr. observed a kind of burning on sundry small spots on lips. After 10 m. throbbing in temples and rush of blood to head, temporal arteries throbbed perceptibly; pain over eyebrows; the slightest shaking of head increased headache, this lasted 30 m. On walking in street, all the
objects seemed starting, the houses did not seem in their right places; the way home seemed 3 times longer than usual. (Am. Arzneipr., 46.)
GENERAL ANALYSIS
Acts upon the medulla oblongata and the pneumogastric and paralyzing the peripheral vaso-motor nerves, producing active (Amyl nitrite, passive) cerebral hyperaemia and palpitation of the heart, the former presenting symptoms closely resembling those resulting from exposure to the sun's rays, even to the intense degree of sunstroke, yet lacking the important symptoms of fever and inflammation which characterize cerebral disorders caused by Aconite and Belladonna. Its action is not so evanescent as that of Amyl
nitrite. The chief characteristic of Glonoine is a pulsating, throbbing fullness (not pains) in the brain.
THERAPEUTICS
Glonoine is a valuable remedy in cerebral congestions, especially when resulting from exposure to the rays of the sun, or from mental excitement, fright or fear. In such cases the face is pale; and, while there is a severe bursting or crushing pain, the chief characteristic is a throbbing or pulsation all through the head with every beat of the pulse, but which is not painful, and a sort of undulating or wave-like motion in the brain. Sometimes the attacks come on suddenly, the patient becomes dizzy and loses his way, perhaps falls down unconscious. These symptoms may be hemicrania, or threaten an attack of apoplexia, or, occurring from exposure to the sun's rays, if continued, result in sunstroke, in which Glonoine is a most efficient remedy if the symptoms correspond as they frequently do. (Compare Bell., Natr. c.).
Cerebro-spinal meningitis. Cerebral congestions from suppressed menses. Hydrocephalus.
The mental symptoms of Glonoine may result from mental shock, or from mechanical injuries , or their later consequences, or from exposure to the sun's rays. but they are usually associated with more or less of the cerebral symptoms mentioned. Also pains and other sensations long after injuries. Familiar things seeming strange, and the patient lose his way are very characteristic. Acute mania. Insanity. Useful in supra-orbital neuralgia, also in neuralgia of the face, extending through the head, with painless throbbing. According to Farrington, Glonoine is useful in retinal congestions, even apoplexia from exposure to a bright light. Sometimes in sea-sickness with characteristic cerebral symptoms. Glonoine is frequently a
remedy for epileptiform convulsions, falling down unconscious with frothing at the mouth; puerperpal convulsions. Allen recommends Glonoine in Angina pectoris, where there is fluttering of the heart and violent beating, as if it would burst the chest open, with labored breathing, pains radiating in all
directions, even into the arms, with loss of power in the arm.
