Globuli are uniformly formed white spheres made of saccharose alone or in combination with lactose, used in the preparation of homoeopathic drug products.
Globules are produced according to the monographs of the homoeopathic pharmacopoeias. To produce pharmaceutical drug products, the globules are coated in a 1:100 ratio with the ethanol dilution of the desired homoeopathic potency. After air-drying, the final drug product is obtained. Usually, 5 globules are administered as a single dose unit.
