Adverse effects and homeopathy: may remedies yet contain noxious or toxic molecules?
Br J Clin Pharmacol, 2014, 78 (1), 184-185
A recent article published in the latest issue of PLoS ONE by Csupor et al. assessed that, at least for a very special subgroup of homeopathic medicines, a big concern about their reliability and safety still currently exists [1]. As highlighted by these authors' work, homeopathic products may contain ingredients in allopathic doses. Low dilutions and mother tinctures still play a role in homeopathic prescribing, and are particularly prominent in certain systems of homeopathy focusing on the organotropic effects of homeopathic medicinal products [2].
