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.

Side Effects - Yes!: Anything that can bring about an intended change in body chemistry or tissue function can also cause unintended, or side, effects. This is true for prescription meds, OTC meds, herbal supplements, naturopathic treatments, and, yes, homeopathic prescriptions.
