A just-published German study evaluated the recurrence of acute upper respiratory tract infections (aURTIs) and the number of antibiotic prescriptions within a 12-month follow-up period in patients prescribed either homeopathic medicines or medicines from one of four conventional medication classes for aURTI therapy.
Their findings?
"The study demonstrated that follow-up recurrence and antibiotic prescriptions in patients with uncomplicated aURTI are at least comparable between patients treated with homeopathic and conventional medicines in real-world practice. Despite some methodological limitations inherent to the database used, the results of this study indicate that homeopathic medicines present a valuable therapeutic option for managing aURTI."
