He warns that this product "may have major indirect harms - not only in individual patients who may not get benefit from the other effective remedies but also in a general sense by undermining the rational basis for medicine."
Nicholas Moore, a clinical pharmacologist at the University of Bordeaux, is of the opnion that "giving homoeopathy credit for any kind of demonstrable efficacy is ludicrous."
He, however, feels that homoeopathy might be useful as "a truly inactive placebo" for over-treated illnesses, such as the common cold and insomnia.
"(This) will not alter the course of the disease. But the patient will feel better, which is one of the aims of medicine's art, if not its science," he writes.
