Frequently asked questions

What is Misteltropfen Hofmann’s Traditionell Zur Anwendung Bei Erwachsenen used for?+
Misteltropfen Hofmann’s Traditionell Zur Anwendung Bei Erwachsenen is an oral mistletoe extract containing Viscum album. It is used as a complementary agent in supportive care for adult patients, particularly to help manage fatigue and improve quality of life in oncology settings, and to provide immunomodulatory support in certain chronic conditions.
How does Viscum album work in the body?+
Viscum album contains bioactive lectins, viscotoxins and flavonoids that interact with immune cells. Lectins bind to carbohydrate receptors, stimulating cytokine release and activation of natural killer cells, while viscotoxins may trigger apoptosis in abnormal cells. These mechanisms together contribute to immune modulation and potential anti‑tumor activity.
What is the usual dose of Misteltropfen Hofmann’s Traditionell Zur Anwendung Bei Erwachsenen?+
The appropriate dose of Misteltropfen Hofmann’s Traditionell Zur Anwendung Bei Erwachsenen is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s condition, age, weight and treatment goals. Patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their prescriber and not adjust the dose on their own.

Safety data for Viscum album during pregnancy and breastfeeding are limited. Because of the lack of robust evidence, the product should be avoided unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk, and only under direct medical supervision.
