Why Pharmacists Should Not Sell Homeopathic Products

Homeopathic remedies enjoy a unique status in the health marketplace: They are the only category of spurious products legally marketable as drugs. This situation is the result of two circumstances. First, the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which was shepherded through Congress by a senator who was a homeopathic physician, recognizes as drugs all substances included in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. Second, FDA has not held homeopathic products to the same standards as other drugs.
