The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States lists the following as official dosage forms for homeopathic products:pellets tablets
dilutions (drops and liquids)
ointments
suppositories |
To assist you in advising your patients about homeopathic products, we have listed some helpful guidelines below.
Try to store all homeopathic medicines away from heat.
Most homeopathic medicines should be taken at least ½ hour before or 1-1/2 hours after eating, unless recommended otherwise.
When taking tablets or pellets, avoid touching the medicines with your hands as there is a possibility of diminishing the potency of the medicine.
Allow pellets and tablets to dissolve slowly under the tongue. Patients should avoid swallowing or chewing them.
When drops are used, they should be delivered either under the tongue or mixed in a glass of very pure water.Patients should not replace their allopathic drug therapies with homeopathic treatments without first consulting their physician. They can, however, use homeopathic remedies as a complimentary treatment with their prescription medications as there is no risk of negative drug interactions.
