Wiesenauer M, Heidl R.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a homoeopathic drug combination in the treatment of pollenosis under condition of daily practice. DESIGN: Care review. SETTING: A general practice in Germany. PATIENTS: 35 patients with pollenosis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Objective and subjective symptoms of acute pollenosis. RESULTS: During an average treatment period of 61 days it was found that 28 of 35 patients experienced an improvement in pollenosis symptoms. The medication was well tolerated thought patients preserved oral to subcutaneous administration. CONCLUSION: Patients receiving the homoeopathic drug combination experienced improvements without side effects. Whether this improvement is due to the medicine or some other factor would need to be determined in a controlled trial.
