Open letter on the proposed amendment to the Law no. 95/2006 concerning the homeopathic medicines
A proposed amendment to Act 95/2006 on the reform of the health system, initiated by USR (the party called the “Save Romania” Union), states that the packaging and leaflet of homeopathic medicines should include the text “This product does not have any effects on health”. Also, the amendment requires that, in the case of advertising these products, apart from the invitation to read the instructions on the leaflet and packaging, a new warning should be added (both in writing and voiced), “This is a homeopathic medicine that is not medically certified and has no proven effects on health”.
The proposed amendment to Act 95/2006 on the reform of the health system was initiated by 4 USR MPs.
In their exposition, the initiators quote a 2010 report of the Commission for Science and Technology with the UK’s Chamber of Communes concluding that homeopathic products do not have any medical effect.
Moreover, the exposition cites a meta-analysis of over 1800 studies, published in 2015 by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, which concludes that “no study of an acceptable design and with a sufficient enrollment demonstrates that homeopathy has better effects than placebo or that it might induce improvements in the health status similar to other treatments”.
