drops in a little water before meals.
- Afterwards for a period of 8 days 3
times daily, then twice daily, the same
dose.

| Remarks |
- In some patients
sensitive to drugs, a primary reaction
may occur, notwithstanding the high dilution.
In such cases the treatment should be
interrupted for about 2-3 days. In the
meantime the following remedies may be
administered:
- R31 with emaciation
and weakness.
- R4 with diarrhoea.
- R2 with strong
pulse.
- Also our remedies
for the nerves are frequently indicated
such as R36 and R33.
- It is obvious
that any treatment with iodized salts
or any use of iodine as well as the use
of hormones (thyroid glands) should be
stopped, as these are liable to cause
acute aggravation.
