    2. Are Hyland's teething tablets ok? - Top

    These tablets contain the following ingredients according to the manufacturer:

    Calcarea Phosphorica 3X HPUS - supports dentition
    Chamomilla 3X HPUS - for irritability
    Coffea Cruda 3X HPUS - for wakefulness and diuresis
    Belladonna 3X HPUS (0.0003% Alkaloids) - for redness and inflammation
    In a base of Lactose (milk sugar) NF.

    Belladonna is a hallucinogen, though the amount in hylands is small enough that it should not cause problems. However the FDA does NOT regulate these homeopathic products so it is possible that the amount of any given ingredient may vary from batch to batch. Also, reactions to Dietary Suppliments are not monitored, so there is no way of knowing when problems occur.

    I see no benefit in this product.
