Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Strumeel, possibilities result for iodine therapy in cases of struma parenchymatosa et colloides (Strumeel forte N drops), goitre prophylaxis (Strumeel tablets); arteriosclerosis, coronary sclerosis; auxiliary remedy for aortic aneurysm (in addition to Kalmia-Injeel forte S, Barijodeel, Mercurius jodatus flavus-Injeel, etc.); hypertonia, adiposis, scrofulous glandular swellings and reticulosis (Galium-Heel, Lymphomyosot, Psorinoheel, Traumeel S,  etc.); croupal coughs (Husteel, Aconitum-Homaccord).

Based on the organic bonding of the iodine, toxic phenomena or hypersensitive reactions virtually do not occur, and in spite of intense application, including in massive initial-dose therapy, have not yet been observed in the widest variety of phases.

The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the symptoms and the stage of the illness: 1 tablet 2-5 times daily up to 2 tablets 3 times daily, or 5 drops twice daily (prophylactic dose), or 10-20 drops 3 times daily (therapeutic dose).
