It is not the right way to calculate content of homoeopathic medicines... Better not to indulge in critical questions as this requires a through knowledge of how homoeopathic medicines are made

The alcohol mentioned mainly acts as a preservative in homeopathic drops. The active homeopathic ingredients are already potentized and present within the solution.

Yes.
In Wheezal Allerex Drops, 72% v/v alcohol means 72% of the liquid is alcohol (used as a preservative and vehicle).
The remaining 28% is water containing the homeopathic dilutions — but the active ingredients are already highly diluted, so they are present in very minute amounts.

No. The 72% v/v alcohol mentioned on the label does not mean that only the remaining 28% contains the active homeopathic ingredients.
In homeopathic liquid medicines, alcohol and water together form the base .The active remedies are present in a highly diluted (potentized) form and are distributed throughout the entire solution, including the alcohol portion. Alcohol is used mainly as a solvent, carrier, and preservative, not as an inactive filler.
So, the medicine is not divided into “72% alcohol + 28% medicine.”
Instead, the active homeopathic principles are present within the whole liquid, with alcohol helping to dissolve, stabilize, and preserve them.

The answer is no.. because ,In homeopathic preparations, the active ingredients are present in highly diluted (potentized) form and are dissolved in the alcohol-water base. So the alcohol is mainly the vehicle that carries and preserves the diluted homeopathic substances.
stating 72% v/v alcohol means that 72% of the liquid volume is alcohol, which acts as a solvent and preservative. However, this does not mean that the remaining 28% is purely active ingredients.

Hello .
I understand your concern. The amout of alcohol present has made you anxious but let me clear you that the alcohol that you are thinking and the one used in homoeopathic medicinal preparation are very different.
In homoeopathy the alcohol present is used as carrier of remedy that help you absorb your given remedy (active ingredients) in greater and quicker manner.
This alcohol.is usually named as dispensing alcohol. And no it doesn't make you drowsy nor it show any property as a general alcohol.
Hence i would say.... Do not panic on the quantity of alcohol present in the homoeopathic medicine.
Any more doubt , feel free to connect

No that doesn’t mean that active ingredient is 28%
Alcohol content works as preservative .Homeopathic active ingredient is dissolved in it in dilution form.
More alcohol content is normal in mother tincture

Take it after doctor prescription
