Customer forum question:
Are homeopathic medicines safe? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Homeopathic medicines are generally safe, and the risk of severe unwanted side effects from taking these medicines is said to be low. However, some homeopathic medicines may contain substances that are not safe or even interfere with the action of other medicines, so a consultation with a doctor is necessary.
Homeopathic medicines are prepared according to the guidelines of international pharmacopeia and are considered safe and without serious side effects. Homeopathic medicines are well tolerated, although users have reported allergic reactions like rashes. Some people's symptoms worsen even at the start of treatment. Interactions with other medicines are not well studied, although they are unlikely given the high dilution of homeopathic medicines.
Unlike conventional medicines, homeopathy cannot cause toxic or dangerous side effects. This is mainly because homeopathy is an "energetic medicine" that works on the subtle energy of the human body and thus promotes healing. Since no chemicals are included in the medicine, we can avoid toxic side effects and poisoning.
