*The dosage information provided is based on the principle that a lower dose of medication can lead to greater effectiveness which many
homeopaths believe (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, 2018). However, there are no approved products
labeled as homeopathic by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the FDA doesn't evaluate homeopathic products for safety or
effectiveness (Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, 2019).
