Indications for Inositol

1.Panic disorder. Inositol shows some promise for controlling panic attacks and the fear of public places or open spaces (agoraphobia). One study found that inositol is as effective as a prescription medication
2.Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). There is some evidence that people with OCD who receive inositol by mouth for 6 weeks experience significant improvement
3.An ovary disorder known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Taking a particular form of inositol (isomer D-chiro-inositol) by mouth seems to lower triglyceride and testosterone levels, modestly decrease blood pressure, and promote ovulation in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
4.Problems breathing in premature infants known as ?acute respiratory distress syndrome,? when given intravenously (by IV).
5.Psoriasis brought on or made worse by lithium drug therapy. Inositol doesn?t seem to help psoriasis in people not taking lithium.
