If homeopathic medicines aren’t based on weight or age, then why are there age ranges for the dosage of cough syrup?
Homeopathic medicines are not body-mass dependent, so there’s no need to give more or less medicine depending on body weight due to the active ingredient. Therefore, there is no risk of overdosing. However, Chestal brand cough syrups do instruct users to give different amounts to different aged children. This is because it takes less honey to coat the throat of a child as opposed to an adult. Frequency of the dose is what is important when using Chestal brand cough syrups.
