The US Food and Drug Administration is warning caregivers to stop using homeopathic teething tablets and gels. What are homeopathic teething tablets and gels? Hyland's tablets "make nights bearable, days livable, and truly make the teething years way more groovy," it says on its website. CVS voluntarily withdrew all of its homeopathic teething products from its online and retail stores on Monday, after the FDA issued its warning. The American Academy of Pediatrics' HealthyChildren.org has warned parents to stay away from teething tablets that contain belladonna and gels with benzocaine, citing the FDA warnings and the potential side effects.
