I have sida acuta, stopped taking it as had a strong reaction/herx, now want to introduce it again. Got it from my Dr in August and it is to be used by Aug 2018 so should still be fine but just looked at it now and it has separated, looks like mud/sand at bottom and water above that !!! Can't have 'gone off' can it ?? Tried to call my Dr but he is not around today.
Suppose could just wait till Monday but really want to start it as I have it here, have given it a good shake and it is really thick mixture now not like a tincture more of a watery paste - it wasn't like that when I first got it.
Anybody else had a separation problem with Sida ??? Random question I know.
Suzee, if it is alcohol based and you kept it out of heat and direct light, it should be ok. Our tinctures come with instructions to shake well probably because they do tend to separate out in the suspension.
That being said I'm not familiar with Sida Acuta and so if you'd feel better waiting to hear back from your Dr., or someone more experienced with that here, I would wait and avoid any possible anxiety or worry.
