In addition to classical medicines, homeopathic remedies with a low dose of the active substance, which are produced according to a special technological scheme by dilution or grinding with excipients, have gained widespread use in pharmacology. One of these medications is the drug “T Purpose”, intended for the treatment of inflammation of the musculoskeletal system. The unique multicomponent composition of active substances allows us to normalize biochemical processes in bone and cartilage tissue and eliminate their destruction.

What does the drug consist of?
Typically, homeopathic remedies have a complex composition, including active substances of plant, animal or mineral nature and additional components that act as fillers or solvents.
The preparation “Goal T” has the same composition of active compounds in different dosage forms, however, their number and degree of dilution may be different.
The manufacture of homeopathic remedies differs from the formulation of classical medicines. A feature of the process of their release is the dilution or potentiation of the active substances by shaking or grinding. To get the first decimal (D1) potency, you need to add 1 part of the active component to 9 parts of the filler, after which the mixture is shaken or rubbed. Each subsequent concentration is obtained by diluting the previous portion. Ultimately, the composition indicates the amount of all decimal dilutions (Dx) of the component.
Table 1 "The composition of the dosage forms of the drug" T Purpose "shows all the active substances, their amount in mg and the degree of dilution. Depending on the condition of the drug, its active components have different decimal dilutions, respectively, their concentration will differ.

The medicine "Goal T", reviews
The therapy with a homeopathic remedy allows many patients to cope with the problems of the musculoskeletal system and not to receive side effects from taking, for example, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
The “Target T” preparation (injections) is very effective. Reviews indicate the onset of improvement after a few days of intramuscular injection. The pain in the affected joint begins to subside, the symptoms of inflammatory processes become less pronounced.
Many athletes who have injuries to the spine and joints of the limbs are prescribed the homeopathic medicine “Target T” (injections). Feedback on treatment with injections is mostly positive. Particularly, improvement was observed with an integrated approach, when in addition to the intramuscular injection of the solution, the patient used tablets for resorption and applied the ointment to the affected area.
Patients who have suffered from agonizing pain in the joints for years and have tried many not offensive drugs, after taking this multicomponent drug, felt relief and for a long time began to enjoy life.
Not everyone can afford the “Target T” medicine, reviews of a negative nature are mainly associated with the high cost of imported medication, the course of treatment of which lasts from 4 to 5 weeks. And this is a big expense.
Another point that makes people not believe in homeopathy is associated with high dilution of the drug. Many people believe that only large doses of the active substance can cope with the disease, and drugs with a low content of active components act like a placebo. Treatment with homeopathic remedies requires a positive attitude from patients to recover.
Some patients from taking “Target T” tablets started having stomach problems, as warned by the instructions for use. They showed violations in the digestive tract and heartburn. Allergic reactions to the components of the drug are also possible, leading to local redness of the injection site. Drug withdrawal leads to the elimination of such adverse reactions.
