About SinEcch™

SinEcch™ (pronounced sinn' ekk) is a medicine prepared by Alpine Pharmaceuticals in accord with the FDA's regulations for Homeopathic preparations. Made from the herb Arnica Montana, SinEcch™ is the only Arnica Montana dosage regimen that is clinically proven to significantly reduce bruising and swelling after surgery.

SinEcch™ has been safely used for hundreds of thousands of plastic surgeries over the past 10 years and has become an increasingly common treatment in many other types of surgeries. Physicians and patients alike find that using SinEcch™ helps speed the post-operative recovery process, reducing uncomfortable swelling and bruising and often post-operative pain, as well.

What Is Arnica Montana?

Arnica Montana is an herb that grows wild in the Swiss Alps. Also known simply as "Arnica," it's been used in Europe for hundreds of years for the reduction of bruising and swelling and to shorten the recovery period after physical trauma. SinEcch™ is made from Arnica Montana at Alpine Pharmaceuticals' FDA-licensed pharmaceutical manufacturing laboratory in Northern California. The FDA regulates the manufacture of all Homeopathic Medicines and has determined that Homeopathic Arnica (as is used in SinEcch™) is so safe that it can be sold without a prescription.

Safety of SinEcch™ assured in expert plastic surgery report

A 2003 report published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)'s Device and Technology Assessment (DATA) Committee, the "expert panel" for the nation’s plastic surgeons, stated that Homeopathic Arnica Montana, the active ingredient in SinEcch™, is safe for use in plastic surgery. The report states:

"Arnica Montana, marketed as SinEcch™ by Alpine Pharmaceuticals ( San Rafael, Calif.), is used by many plastic surgeons to limit postoperative edema (swelling) and ecchymosis (bruising). In their advertising literature, the company provides a large number of testimonials from plastic surgeons who use the product and feel that it is effective."
