Pharmacological Action

Homeopathic preparations contain active substances of mineral, plant, and animal origin in ultra-small doses, or potentiated (i.e., in homeopathic preparation) allopathic medicinal substances.

Homeopathic preparations are manufactured using a special technology.

Homeopathic preparations do not possess bactericidal, bacteriostatic, or antitoxic properties and act only on the macroorganism, restoring its homeostasis, which is disturbed by the pathological process.

The mandatory and necessary law of homeopathy is the rule of similarity. The use of ultra-small doses is a practical consequence of similarity.

When the active substance contained in a homeopathic preparation enters the body, not all its organs and tissues react equally to this substance, but only those that have a special selective affinity for it. Based on significant clinical experience, it is believed that there is a similarity of pathomorphological and pathophysiological reactions. Each medicinal substance manifests its specific properties mainly in those organs and systems that lie within the sphere of its physiological action.

Indications

As recommended by a homeopathic physician – in accordance with the instructions for medical use of a specific homeopathic preparation.

Dosage Regimen

The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen.

Tablets, Drops

A specific homeopathic preparation and its exact dose are always determined strictly individually.

The general rule is: for acute pathological conditions, low decimal potencies are used; for chronic diseases and in children, higher (centesimal and millesimal) potencies are used.

In acute diseases, when low potencies are used, the homeopathic preparation can be applied every 5-10 minutes and 3-4 times a day, depending on the specific disease.

In chronic diseases, the frequency of administration can range from 3-4 times a day to 1-2 times a week and even less often, when very high potencies are used.

Simultaneous use of two or more homeopathic preparations or a complex preparation is possible only as prescribed by a homeopathic physician.

Adverse Reactions

Allergic reactions to the auxiliary components of the drug’s dosage form cannot be ruled out.
