Health effects / Other evidence
The FTC stated that for 'the vast majority of OTC homeopathic drugs' there are 'no valid studies using current scientific methods showing the product's efficacy,' so therapeutic claims for them 'lack a reasonable basis and are likely misleading.'
Moderate evidence: A regulator's characterization of the evidence; no trials are cited or reviewed in the statement itself.
