I tend to medicate my dog with things that are based in repeatable study that have facts in writing and by researchers that can repeat the study not by hear say and nothing repeatable or proven.
Drugs like Bio Calm. composure or Prozac. Things like Through a Dogs Ears music to calm would be a choice that is less documented not drug based thing that can calm dogs and not cause side effects with additives a dog should not have.
Also thing like T Touch or anxiety wraps work. What about a calming cap.

I have used Rescue Remedy and it works and I being a calm person don't think this is the case of why it works
I also believe that if a person has a pet that has serious anxiety issues that are prolonged they need to be seeing a special vet because there may be some other concerns that are causing the problem.
There are probably people who give too much of a dose to their pets at a given time and I believe that could cause an upset stomach. To much of ANY thing can do this to a small Yorkie, so it's up to the parent/owner to use caution.
Some people have rubbed it on their pets ears and it worked fine for them this way.
