    Nux vomica should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to risk of ingestion of toxic levels of strychnine. No safe internal dosage or maximum duration of homeopathic nux vomica during pregnancy or breastfeeding has been clinically established.

    You should read product labels, and discuss all therapies with a qualified healthcare provider. Natural Standard information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
