Product Safety
A: Do not panic. Homeopathic medicines are very safe, non-toxic, and have a very large margin of safety. It is unlikely your child could overdose on any homeopathic medicine.
We care about your child, and our consumers’ safety is our #1 priority. For that reason, we have pharmacists available around the clock (24 hours per day, 7 days per week. After business hours, you will hear a recording – just follow the directions and a pharmacist will return your call promptly.) to provide emergency information related to any of our products. You can contact us at 1-800-624-9659 (number also available on all packaging).
Hyland’s products are also listed with Regional Poison Control Centers. Most are well informed on the margin of safety of homeopathic medicines if you have one to call in your area.
Q: Is there any danger of overdose with Hyland’s teething products?
A: Because the active ingredients in Hyland’s teething products are formulated in trace amounts, it’s nearly impossible for a child to ingest enough to cause a negative reaction.
To put homeopathic dosages in perspective, typically a 10-pound child would need to ingest 1,000 Hyland’s Teething Tablets (at least 6 bottles of 125 tablets) to exhibit even the first possible side effect. Hyland’s Teething Tablets have been safely used by millions of children since being introduced to the U.S. market in 1945!

Q: Why don’t Hyland’s homeopathic medicines have tamper-resistant caps?
A: Because they are completely safe. The active ingredients in our homeopathic medicines are formulated in such minute amounts that a child would have to ingest a vast amount – thousands of doses in most cases – in order to have a negative reaction.
