EMUAID and EMUAIDMAX First Aid Ointments are registered homeopathic products with the FDA, with National Drug Code #'s of 55926-0024-2 and 55926-0025-2, respectively. Under this monograph, only homeopathic ingredients can be listed as actives. Emu oil is a key ingredient in the ointments, as it has transdermal carrier properties, but the active ingredient listed on the label is Argentum Metallicum in the homeopathic dilution. This ingredient has the topical analgesic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties that the other "inactive" ingredients contribute to.
