Homeopathy
Homeopathy as the pharmacopeia writes it.
Dynamization scales and methods keyed by abbreviation, with no equivalence between scales and with the dilution ratio recorded only where the Brazilian Homeopathic Pharmacopeia (FHB) defines it.
Illustrative values.
The module agent
Otávio records it in the pharmacopeia’s notation.
Otávio Reis maintains the registry of methods and scales and records the homeopathic lot with method, potency and starting lot. He does not convert scales or calculate dilutions.
Maintains the registry of dynamization methods and scales
Records the homeopathic lot with method, potency and starting lot
Explains why the registry has no equivalence between scales
Record the lot at FC 200 from starting lot HO-2026-0012.
Lot HO-2026-0032 prepared: method FC, potency 200 and starting lot HO-2026-0012. The dilution ratio is left blank, because the pharmacopeia does not define it for FC. After your confirmation, release follows the category’s policy.
Illustrative example.
The master data
Seven abbreviations, each in its place.
Each method states whether it is pharmacopeial and whether it requires a starting lot. The abbreviation is the record key and is never translated, in any language.
The rules
What the system does not do on its own.
No equivalence between scales
A CH does not become a DH. There is no conversion and no equivalence column between scales.
Ratio only where it exists
The dilution ratio is left blank where the pharmacopeia does not define it, as with FC, K and SD.
Declared starting lot
In the master data, SD, K and FC are flagged as methods that require a starting lot. The flag is declared on each method, never inferred from the abbreviation, and in inventory this link appears as the parent lot.
Potency without a closed list
Potency is a whole number on a continuous scale, not a list of options.
In inventory
The homeopathic lot records method and potency.
Each lot stores the dynamization method and the potency. Release follows the policy the pharmacy declared for the product category, under the responsibility of the responsible pharmacist.
