side effects

On the basis of that specified in Directive 2001/83/EC, a homeopathic medicinal product authorised on the basis of the simplified registration procedure in Article 14 is guaranteed harmless. Side effects are thus not expected, but the homeopathic approach suggests that an initial deterioration might develop.

Other homeopathic medicinal products, including OTC products, must also be guaranteed harmless. The MEB operates on the principle that there should be a positive balance between efficacy and safety. As the efficacy of homeopathic OTC products is supported on the basis of homeopathic literature, products with possible aide effects are simply not accepted. A warning about possible hypersensitivity to an excipient is only included in exceptional cases.

However, you can report to Lareb if you are nonetheless convinced that you have experienced a side effect as a result of using a certain homeopathic medicinal product (http://www.lareb.nl/).
