Safety in Pregnancy, Breast Feeding & for Infants
Homeopathy restores health by stimulating the body’s own systems of defence and repair. This gentle, yet effective healing system is safe for use in infants and for pregnant & breast feeding Mums. These are all situations where treatment with regular medication is very limited or contraindicated.
Each dose of the remedy is a message to the body to rectify an imbalance rather than an amount of medication. This explains the initial frequency of dosing. Once the body starts to respond, it means that it is listening to the messages and one reduces the frequency of dosing accordingly. This also explains why dosing is the same for children and for adults.

Pregnant & Breast Feeding Mums
From the minute you find out that you are pregnant, all the limitations on what you can take in terms of food/drink and medication come into play. Understandably, the safety of your baby is your main concern and most chemical drugs are off limits to you during your pregnancy and if you breast feed. This means that when you come down with a cold or flu, you have to suffer through it as you cannot take your regular medication. The pegasus remedies are safe for you to take throughout your pregnancy and while you breast feed your baby. Homeopathy is more akin to energy medicine and thus will not harm your baby.
Whatever symptoms you have, you can safely use the pegasus range to effectively treat yourself e.g. morning sickness, indigestion, water retention, diarrhoea, colds & flu, tight chest, phlegmy cough, bladder infection, hay fever, allergies, sinus congestion, sore throat, injuries, shock etc. The dosage of the remedies remains the same. These remedies are indicated for acute, self-limiting ailments, usually resolved in 3-5 days. If further treatment is required, consult a homeopathic doctor.
Dosing a Newborn Infant
Until an infant can suck the pillules safely without risk of choking (around 8-9 months old), crush 4-5 pillules between 2 plastic medicine measures then add a small amount of water and spoon directly into the infant’s mouth. Do not use metal spoons as the remdies are very subtle and absorption may be affected. Alternatively if you’re dosing frequently e.g. colic, another method may be useful: dissolve 10 pillules in half a glass of boiled and cooled water and spoon one medicine measure into the infant’s mouth for each dose. Discard the water after 24 hours.
