Arnica (Homeopathic) Pellets Dosing and Administration

Arnica montana homeopathic pellets are administered by dissolving the pellets under the tongue. [1] Treatment is continued until symptoms are relieved or directed by a clinician, with discontinuation recommended if symptoms persist for more than 3 days or worsen. [1]

Administration Route

Dissolving under the tongue is recommended. [1]

Dose and Frequency

At the onset of symptoms, 5 pellets should be dissolved under the tongue. [1] Dosing frequency is 3 times a day. [1]

Duration of Use

Treatment should be continued “until symptoms are relieved” or “as directed by a doctor.” [1] Stop use and ask a doctor if symptoms persist for more than 3 days or worsen. [1]

Patient-Specific Decision Points

Use should be avoided without clinician guidance when pregnant or breastfeeding. [1]

Dispensing Instructions for Pellets

The pellet-dispenser tube should be turned upside down. [1] The tube should be twisted until 5 pellets are dispensed into the cap. [1] The cap should then be used to pour the pellets under the tongue. [1]
