Items which should not routinely be prescribed in primary care - homeopathy by all Sub-ICB Locations
Why it matters:
Homeopathy seeks to treat patients with highly diluted substances that are administered orally.
During the consultation we received a range of submissions pertaining to homeopathy and it was deemed necessary to have a further review to include the up to date evidence; this was conducted by the Specialist Pharmacy Service. This review found no clear or robust evidence to support the use of homeopathy on the NHS.
NHS England recommend that GPs:
- Do not initiate.
- Deprescribe in patients currently prescribed this medicine.
