Are there side effects from homeopathic medicines?
Homeopathic medicines are safe and gentle yet can produce powerful changes in people. There are no lists of side effects from particular homeopathic substances such as those from conventional medicines listed in the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR). There are certain symptoms that a person may experience as part of his or her healing process. These include an aggravation (brief flare-up of already existing symptoms within the first week of taking a homeopathic medicine) and a return of old symptoms (brief re-experiencing of symptoms that you have had in the past). Both an aggravation and a return of old symptoms are usually an indication that the medicine is a good match for you and will be generally followed by a significant improvement in your chief complaint and overall state of health. On rare occasions an individual may experience a new symptom after taking a homeopathic medicine. If this happens, call your homeopath.

Can I begin homeopathic treatment while I am still taking conventional medication?
The answer is generally yes, but this should be discussed with both your homeopathic practitioner and your prescribing physician.

How long do I need to avoid the substances and influences that interfere with homeopathic treatment?
It is important to avoid these influences as long as you are being treated homeopathically. There have been reports of symptoms returning after exposure to such influences up to two years after taking the homeopathic medicine. If you have been helped significantly by homeopathy, it is probably best to play it safe and continue to avoid such exposure.
