Overview — Homeopathic medicines have been used for over 200 years in humans, plants, and animals. They have been recognized as drugs by the FDA since 1938 and are easily accessible over-the-counter in all markets. The use of homeopathic medicines continues to grow in popularity, yet many misconceptions still circulate about their efficacy and safety. Many pharmacists lack training on homeopathic medicines, but pharmacists have an obligation to be well-informed about the strengths and limitations of these drugs. The purpose of this knowledge-based activity is to describe the basic principles of homeopathy and review best practices for dispensing and administering homeopathic medicines to veterinary patients.

The goal of this activity is to enhance pharmacists’ proficiency in delivering patient-centered care through appropriate awareness of the safe and effective use of homeopathic medicines. This activity has been approved for 1.0 hour of CE for pharmacists.
