1. How To Take Them

Please follow these simple guidelines to get the maximum benefit from your medications.      

A. Handling the Medicine Properly:      

1) Don't store or use homeopathic medicines near any substances which have strong odors, such as essential oils, camphorated oil, menthol, cough lozenges, peppermint, etc. These may actually antidote the medicine. Furthermore, avoid contact with strong aromatic odors and substances such as Tiger Balm, Ben-Gay, Vick's Vapo-rub, Noxema (and other products containing camphor), Blistex and strong mint toothpaste. Do not expose yourself to other strong odors like fresh paint, Lysol and eucalyptus (as in steam baths).      

2) Never expose the medicine to direct sunlight. Keep the container in a dry place when not in use.      

3) Do not expose the medicine to strong electromagnetic fields--TV, microwave, motors, magnets, etc.--including placing them by a wall which has a TV (etc.) on the other side because the field goes through walls.      

4) Don't handle the contents of the container.      

B) Avoidance of Interfering Substances and Actions:      

1) Do not take homeopathic medication with meals unless necessary. Allow one-half hour before or after meals.      

2) Do not drink coffee two to three hours before or after taking the medication.      

3) Don't use any drugs or medications other than those prescribed and recommended by your doctor.     

Occasional Tylenol for the relief of pain may be acceptable.      

4) Avoid any dental work which involves drilling. If drilling is necessary, notify physician. Routine check-ups and cleanings are fine.      

5) Do not sleep under an electric blanket, by a TV, or near a wall with a TV (etc.) on the other side. Do not let them be exposed to x-rays during travel.      

6) If you seek other treatment of any kind please inform Dr. Wilson.      

Taking Pellets or Tablets:      

If it is a single-dose prescription, empty the entire contents underneath the tongue and allow it to dissolve. If multi-dose tube carefully tap the required number of pellets into the upturned cap and then drop the dose under your tongue and allow to dissolve there. Do not touch the pellets. If too many pellets fall into the cap, be careful putting them back in the bottle. This may risk contamination of the remaining pellets.      

Taking Drops:      

Squeeze the prescribed number of drops directly under your tongue without touching the dropper with your mouth. Drops may be diluted in water if desired.
