Safety and Adverse Effects of Homeopathic Medicines: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract
The homeopathic system of medicine is widely practiced as an alternative healthcare system and is often perceived as safe due to its highly diluted substances. However, the safety profile and potential adverse effects of homeopathic remedies remain under-researched. This paper provides a comprehensive review of existing literature on the safety and adverse effects associated with homeopathic medicines. Through an analysis of clinical studies, case reports, and pharmacovigilance data, this study addresses possible interactions, side effects, and quality control issues in homeopathy. Findings suggest that while homeopathy generally has a low risk of severe side effects, issues such as contamination, incorrect dosing, and lack of regulatory oversight can pose risks to patients.
