Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Ethanolic extracts of the Cimicifuga rhizome contain triterpene glycosides, flavone derivatives and aromatic acids.
The effect of Cimicifuga extracts on human oestrogen receptor-positive and receptor-negative breast cancer cell lines was tested in different in-vitro experiments. The results are equivocal. The majority of published studies, among others a study with Cimicifuga extract, could show an inhibition of proliferation, or no cell proliferation.
It could be shown that the substances contained in the Cimicifuga extract have a certain binding affinity to the oestrogen receptor, but lack an oestrogenic effect.
Studies of undesirable pharmacodynamic properties
In a clinical trial with 400 postmenopausal women, the thickness of the endometrium was determined by vaginal ultrasound. Over a time period of one year, no increase in endometrial thickness was observed. Also, hormonal parameters (LH, FSH, oestradiol and prolactin) remained unchanged.
This data indicates that the observed Cimicifuga extract effects do not seem to directly affect these hormonal parameters.
Clinical efficacy
The efficacy of Cimidona forte for the treatment of climacteric complaints was examined in a prospective, placebo-controlled randomized clinical study.
In this 3-arm study, the superiority of Cimidona forte as compared to placebo was demonstrated over a time period of 12 weeks. The primary target variable (the Kupperman index) showed a dose-dependent efficacy in the intent-to-treat collective who takes a drug at least one time (N=153). Women treated for climacterical period, for whom a dosage of 6,5 mg is not sufficient, can be treated with 13 mg dose.
Pharmacokinetics
No pharmacokinetics studies were conducted for the galenic formulation present in Cimidona forte.
Pre-clinical data
In a toxity study with rats with repeated oral administration of Cimicifuga dry extract over a period of 7 days, no toxic reactions could be found in histological or microscopic examinations either.
The salmonella microsome assay according to Ames did not reveal any indication of a mutagenic effect of the dry extract from Cimicifuga rhizome (Cimicifuga racemosa).
There is no data on reproduction toxicology and carcinogenicity.
Indications
For the alleviation of symptoms during climacterical period (hot flashes, excessive perspiration, sleep disorders, nervousness and depressive moods).
Posology and method of administration
1 tablet to be taken once daily (in the morning or in the evening), unchewed, with some fluid, preferably at the same time of the day. The intake of the tablets does not depend on meals.
The effect does not set in immediately. Intake of Cimidona forte is recommended for a period of at least 6 weeks.
It is recommended to take Cimidona forte over several months; however, it should not be applied for more than 6 months without medical advice.
Side effects
Below are side effects that have been observed during treatment with Сimidona fortе during the clinical trials and in the course of market surveillance.
Immune system: swelling of the face and body (incidence unknown).
From the gastrointestinal tract: in rare cases may occur in the stomach discomfort, nausea, indigestion and diarrhea.
On the part of the hepatobiliary system: in some cases there is evidence of a serious kind of liver disease (eg, abnormal liver function, jaundice, hepatitis).
For the skin: rash, itching, hives (incidence unknown).
Reproductive system and breast: in some cases reported tension and swelling breasts, spotting and breakthrough bleeding, as well as the resumption of regular menses.
Contraindications
Cimidona forte must not be taken in cases of existing hypersensitivity to one of its ingredients or to any plants of the better cup (Ranunculaceae) family.
Interactions:
None known.
Special warnings
- This drug has an effect on physical and psychological processes during the climacterical period. Since there is no clinical data so far with regard to a positive effect on bones, this preparation can therefore not be used for the prevention of osteoporosis.
- Unusual fatigue, weakness or loss of appetite and unintended weight loss, yellow colouring of the conjunctiva or the skin, dark urine, or discolouration of stool can be an indication of liver damage. If such symptoms occur, interaction of drug must be discontinued and a physician must be consulted.
A physician should be consulted tension and swelling breasts, spotting and breakthrough bleeding, as well as the resumption of regular menses.
Administration during pregnancy or lactation
The use of preparations containing Cimicifugae racemosae is indicated for menopausal women. Administration during pregnancy and lactation is not intended. There is no data from clinical studies on animals and humans, which would allow to avoid possible risks to a sufficient degree of probability.

BASIC BUSINESS PRINCIPLE
ne basic business principle that we all need to follow when developing and implementing
our strategies is the step-by-step approach of first stability, then profitability, then growth. This principle is applicable to all operational units and fundamental in reaching our objectives.
Stability in operational performance comes first. With stability we understand our business and can predict the profitability; there should be no
surprises. Once we have reached this level, we know our business and our organization.
When stability is accomplished, the focus shifts to profitability, meaning to achieve a return on capital above the Group’s cost of capital. Finally, when an operation is stable and profitable, the focus is on growth. Sustainable profitable growth.

AGILE AND RESILIENT
ur operational business model has a strong foundation that gives us resilience. Even
when the business and investment climate is deteriorating, our service business gives recurring revenues and profit, and thanks to the asset-light manufacturing structure we also have low fixed costs. This allows us to continuously invest in innovation and competence, irrespective of current business conditions.
When one or more markets go down we can rapidly reduce our variable costs and working capital.
Conversely, in an improving business climate we can quickly grow thanks to our structure.
Throughout the business cycle, independent of the business climate, customers everywhere will
receive the best support from a professional service organization with limited need for new investments.
18
AGILE AND RESILIENT
19
SECURING LASTING RESULTS
ll operational units must have the three horizons in mind – short-,
medium- and long-term – and must manage them simultaneously.
Today we extend and defend the core. For tomorrow, which represents the medium term, the focus is on building new business and finding new ways of doing things. Finally, in the longer term, we must create new opportunities.
Needs must be defined for each time horizon: markets, channels, applications, technologies, product ranges, scope of supply, branding, business models, customers, service offerings, et cetera.

OUR STRATEGIC PILLARS FOR GROWTH
ur five strategic pillars are presence, innovation, service, operational excellence
and people.
We will increase presence and penetration and expand into selected market segments. If we sell directly or indirectly – and which brand we use
– depends on the respective market.
Innovation and the belief that there is always a better way is imbedded in our genes. We invest in research and development and continuously launch new products and service that increase customers’ productivity.
We will increase the service offer, perform service on a larger proportion of the products we have sold, and as such, give customers peace of mind during the entire lifecycle of the product.
We will continuously strive for improved operational performance with an efficient and responsible use
of resources. This means top-quality products and service to the right cost for our customers at all times.
We need competent people who want to perform together and who act in high speed. We strive to attract, recruit and develop skilled individuals and find ways to reduce their time to competence.

Developing our markets should be based on segmenting, differentiating, and positioning our products and service. Sales channels must be chosen to give each product its best chance on the market.
Service activities consist of accessories, consumables, parts, service and maintenance, training, and rental. But it also means a professional customer oriented behavior and short response times.
28
The brand portfolio strategy is fundamental to us and it improves outreach and growth. Each brand strives to have a clear, unique, attractive image and position in its targeted market segment. The visual identity, strong messages and professional behavior play a vital role in achieving this.

We must always strive to provide the solution to a problem in the most cost effective way for our company and in due time.
