Question 1

my teenage daughter is being treated with steroids for sjia. a homeopathic doctor prescribed her "pulsatilla" but i'd like to check if it's safe first?

Accepted Answer

EXTREMELY SAFE!!!: Pulsatilla, like almost all homeopathic remedies, is VERY safe. It's the extremely diluted essence of a wildflower; if there are any actual chemicals from the flower in the remedy it might be a few parts per trillion. A common critique of homeopathy is it's too dilute to have any effect,but it can help a lot.While steroids can be very helpful for many conditions they can have serious side effects.

Question 2

can homeopathy medicine cause side effects? can any docs explain?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathy: Truly homeopathic medicines DON'T cause side effects.By this I mean classical homeopathy remedies made in homeopathic medical pharmacies, and prescribed after a careful case-taking by a trained homeopath. If instead you mean a botanical or nutritional supplement mistakenly called "homeopathic," side effects ARE possible. Homeopathic remedies can temporarily increase symptoms on the way to healing.

Question 3

i take 10gm homeopathic weightgain supplement powder in each month since 4years. any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Not known: There are a great many "weight gain supplements" and "weight loss supplements" out there, being sold to people. It's a big industry. However, since they are not real medications and are not scientifically studied nor regulated by the fda, nobody really knows what the true effects and side effects are.

Question 4

do homeopathy medicines cause side effects?

Accepted Answer

Yesw: Sure. Although designed to be given in very small doses, many have not been tested for safety. And if taken in large quantities, serious side effects may occur. Belladonna, a common ingredient in some homeopathic colic medications for babies, can cause death in high quantities.

Question 5

is there any side effects with this homeopathic drugs  (1) baryta carb 30.  (2)  silicea 12x.  (3)  symphytum q?

Accepted Answer

No, but effects may:: With rare exceptions, homeopathic remedies are very safe and do not cause "side effects" but occasionally the effects of the medicines are an aggravation, which is a mild temporary worsening of pre-existing symptoms before you start feeling better. While this usually does not occur, when it does happen it is considered a sign that the remedy is having a positive effect on the patient.

Question 6

my mother has chronic urticaria.she was prescribed predmet.now she has severe side effects and wishes to discontinue.will homeopathy be a good option?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Predmet is Methylprednisolone which is a steroid and should be avoided if at all possible. There are many proven ways to treat chronic hives that don't involve steroids and are proven (unlike homeopathy).  An allergist or dermatologist comfortable with taking care of chronic hives can be a good resource.

Question 7

does homeopathic remedies have any side effects? my lo is 3 weeks old and i noticed that every time we give her a full dose or too for colic, she ends up having a and full of stool, spitting up and bad sleeping and feeding.

Accepted Answer

Homeopathy: In general they have no side effects.  And most have not been shown to have any good effects either.  But if you need to spend money for things that have not been proven to work it is up to you.

Question 8

what are the side effects of having thuja 1000 homeopatic medicine?

Accepted Answer

Not approved "drug": Truly homeopathic "medications" are made by repeated dilutions, so that the ingredient is not really in the medication anymore (just the "essence" of it remains). That means there is no active ingredient left to cause any benefit. However, that also implies that the homeopathic "medicine" should be pretty harmless, unless some other non-homeopathic ingredients were added.

Question 9

doctor prescribed pulsatilla for irregular periods. my heart had palpitations and missed beats as a side effect. how to make these side go away?

Accepted Answer

Toxic: It can be toxic with cardiac side effects (oh, you already noticed that?... Sorry.). Ask your doctor to change to a different medicine (or change doctors).

Question 10

is pulsatilla 1000 taken for abortion?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Pulsatilla can be highly toxic and dangerous to use for any reason without proper homeopathic supervision. I would strongly advise against attempting to use it as an abortifacent. There are medications (ie, Mifepristone - RU486, followed by Misoprostol) that are proven to be highly effective and safe for legally induced abortions.  If you have an unintended pregnancy seek options counseling asap
