Presented by Eric Foxman, R.Ph.
September 8, 2017
This webinar provides an overview of the HPCUS: what info is found in it and why it is important – even if one is not directly involved in the homeopathic industry. It touches on the process of adding monographed substances to the HPUS and gives some background on the basis for the pharmacopeia’s OTC/Rx attenuation guidelines. Lastly, the webinar provides some perspective of the challenges facing the homeopathic industry which might affect availability of homeopathic drug products for practitioners and patients.
