About non-medicinal ingredients:

Lactose and sucrose are the inactive ingredients that have always been used to manufacture homeopathic medicines.

They can be obtained in a pure form, they are safe, and they are quickly absorbed by the body.

More importantly, they are very neutral for the body—they do not have a noticeable pharmacological action, which is the main quality for an inactive ingredient.

All our medicines made with tablets or pellets contain lactose, they are thus not considered vegan.  Arnicare tablets is not considered vegan, however Arnicare gel and Arnicare cream are considered vegan.

About medicinal ingredients:

Depending of the medicine, some may have been manufactured with lactose (some mineral strains for instance).

The main part of the tube is made of polypropylene (#5), the dispenser is made of polyethylene (#4) and the clear cap is made of polystyrene (#6).

The recycling of these plastics may depend on where you live and the facilities you have in place.

Ensuring a reliable and a high-quality medicine for health professionals and for all patients who trust us is one of Boiron’s main commitments.

Our manufacturing processes are rigorous and are fully insured by Boiron from the beginning to the end of the manufacturing of each homeopathic medicine.

This also implies that the packaging must have several qualities:

• Hygienic: The translucent cap of the dispenser prevents hands from encountering the granules at the time of taking.
• Accurate: The dispenser itself guarantees the exact quantity required.
• Convenient: The format of the tube is practical because it can be easily carried around.
• Easy: The color code of each tube facilitates differentiation at the point of  sale or in the medicine cabinet.
• Neutral: The neutral plastic does not interact with the medication.

We are always looking for ways to improve.  So far, plastic seems to be the material that meets all our requirements, but we are looking for alternatives. If a replacement is feasible, we would definitely consider using it.
