The complex chapter on the pharmacy and pharmacology of homeopathy is divided into several sections:
Following a general introduction to and overview of pharmacy and pharmacology, including definitions and the applicable regulations of the pharmacopoeia and the drug monograph, the foundations of the clinical drug research underlying modern pharmacology are presented.
In a separate section, the current physical models and hypotheses about the mode of action of homeopathic remedies are presented.
For the first time, an attempt is made to analyse homeopathic-clinical drug research in the phases of drug development and to work out the points of overlap and differences to general pharmacology.
In this process, homeopathic drug research is defined and its clinical aspects are also analysed in detail in a synthesis (Homeopathic Drug Proving - HDP).
The individual steps involved in compiling the homeopathic Materia Medica - the lexicon of homeopathic remedy documentation - are being conceptualised.
The core of homeopathic-clinical remedy research and homeopathic prescribing - the phenomenological analysis - is still in preparation due to its scope and importance.
