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/).
