Activity Overview
Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine that has been practiced for over 200 years and continues to be used by about 2% of Americans. Many patients experiencing self-limiting illnesses such as the common cold seek over-the-counter (OTC) medicines for symptomatic relief, and pharmacists are likely to receive questions related to their selection and use. This activity will provide a review of the appropriate use of OTC products for self-care and the role of homeopathic remedies so that they may make informed decisions for their patients. Pharmacists will be able to participate in an interactive posttest simulating real patient cases.
