Boiron Camilia for Teething Relief 30 Doses

What is Boiron Camilia used for?

Per Boiron's US label, Camilia is a homeopathic medicine that temporarily relieves symptoms of teething such as painful gums, irritability and minor digestive upsets associated with teething. Boiron states that these claims are based on traditional homeopathic practice, not accepted medical evidence.

From what age can I use it, and how do I give a dose?

Camilia is labelled for children from 1 month old. Tear open the foil pouch, snap off one vial, twist it open and, holding your baby upright, squeeze the whole 1ml into their mouth at the start of symptoms.

How many doses can I give in a day?

Give 1 dose, wait 15 minutes, then repeat if needed, up to a total of 9 doses in 24 hours. At that maximum, a box of 30 lasts just over 3 days.

What is in each vial?

Each 1ml vial contains Chamomilla 9C, Phytolacca decandra 5C and Rheum 5C (HPUS) in purified water, with less than 0.0015% alcohol. Boiron describes Camilia as free from benzocaine, sugar, flavours and preservatives.

When should I stop and see a doctor?

Stop and ask a doctor if symptoms last more than 3 days or get worse, or if swelling, fever or rash develops. Do not use Camilia if your child has a known allergy to any of its ingredients.

How should I store opened vials?

Keep unused vials in their foil pouch inside the box and use them within 3 months of opening the pouch. Once a vial is opened, use it straight away and throw it away; do not refrigerate or freeze the doses.

How is Camilia different from Camilia Bedtime and Camilia Tummy?

Classic Camilia is Boiron's original teething formula for use at any time of day, Camilia Bedtime is the version made for night-time teething, and Camilia Tummy is a separate formula for tummy troubles. All three come as 30 single liquid doses from 1 month, so check each label before combining them.
