No they don't, but they must be prescribed by a well-trained practitioner who understands homeopathic philosophy and whatever changes take place. Homeopathic remedies are safe and non-addictive. Standards of preparation have been established by the British Homeopathic Pharmacopeia.

Everyone is unique and has different needs and goals. Follow-ups are absolutely necessary to maintain the momentum and assess your progress. For the majority of chronic health issues, people haven't fallen sick overnight, therefore achieving a higher level of health is a process that takes longer than just two days. We never become chronically sick overnight. The body has been giving little signs, little signals from very early on in the pathological process if you can see them. Ergo, the reversal of the pathological process will normally take time. This doesn't mean the person won't start noticing positive changes in their energy and health. So commitment is necessary.

Absolutely not. Homeopathy isn't dependent on belief. Animals, babies, and unconscious people aren't aware of what they're taking and experience the same results as everyone else. Interestingly, some of the most famous homeopaths were originally medical doctors, and skeptics, who completely changed their minds after witnessing life-changing cures. All that's required is openness to engage in the process.

Acute problems, like a stomach problem such as stomach flu, colds and flu respond very quickly. Chronic problems typically take longer to resolve because they have been present for a long time. People do not fall chronically ill overnight. As explained before, the body never becomes sick overnight. It has been giving little signs, little signals from very early on in the pathological process if you can see them. Ergo, the reversal of the pathological process will normally take time.  

You should keep taking your medication until there comes a point where you are feeling improved in such way that you want to stop or taper off. Then we would proceed with the approval and involvement of your GP.

Once you are taking a well-matching remedy, your chronic problems may recur from time to time when there are exciting factors, mentally or physically. Typically you'll experience the symptoms in a milder form and as time goes on this will happen less and less because your system will be stronger and more adaptable, allowing you to handle stress with greater ease.

Generally this is not recommended as it will make it difficult to assess which treatment you're responding to. If your symptoms are changing in response to different modalities you're using it could affect my ability to prescribe the right remedy for you. However there are certain adjunct therapies that shouldn't interfere with homeopathic treatment, such as chiropractic adjustment, osteopathy, reflexology, massage.
