Recent news articles regarding Swine Flu H1N1 have been widespread. The virulence of the strain among humans and its implications for pandemic disease in humans may lead to increased interest in homeopathic treatments for Swine Flu H1N1.
The American Association of Homeopathic Pharmacists (AAHP), representing the major manufacturers and distributors of homeopathic drugs, wishes to inform the public of its view of the sale of homeopathic medicines to prevent and/or treat Swine Flu H1N1.
There is no homeopathic literature, nor clinical trial, which adequately supports a homeopathic drug for use as PROPHYLAXIS (or for prevention) for Swine Flu H1N1. In addition, any product labeled for prophylaxis of flu is prescription in nature, according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration's drug labeling guidelines, and is an inappropriate use of any product sold over the counter (or as a non-prescription drug).
