Homoeopathy medicine for Prophylaxis and Symptomatic Management of Home Isolated COVID-19 Patients General Disclaimer • Patients need to have a general consultation froma qualified physician before starting any intervention. • In all moderate/severe cases, immediate referral to a higher medical centre as per the Government guidelines is advised. • Patients with co-morbidities like hypertension, diabetes etc., are advised to continue their respective medications and continue taking consultation from their family physicians. • Physicians are required to prescribe medicines, potencies and dosage as per Homoeopathic principles. Recommendation of Prophylactic measures For Healthy Population Firstly, people must follow the general protective measure advised by health authorities such as social distancing, using appropriate mask properly, hand washing and sanitization, vaccination etc. The Scientific Advisory Board of the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) reiterates the previous advisory on the use of Arsenicum album 30C as an immune booster for prophylaxis against COVID-19 infection. However, keeping in view, high transmission rate in the second wave and possible airborne spread, and results of the prophylactic studies, the repetition of the regimen may be done after 21 days instead of 30days as advised earlier. The recommended dose is – Arsenicum album in 30C potency, 4 globules of size 30, once daily in the morning, preferably empty stomach for three days and to be repeated in the same manner after 3 weeks.
