Risk in taking 1M potencies
I am curious to know if an 1M potency can do any harm if taken once a week for two weeks or until symptoms clear up.Kind regards and thank you,

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
single dose "only" is enough to give inclination as what next step will be--at this point proper acessment is very important.....as far as harm?--yes at times aggravation-complications have occured..
to ask this question here implies lack of homoeopaqthic understanding on prescriber's part...which in that case should be dubious whether prescription is even correct---this should be main concern...

That is John's view.
In homeopathy, the ways of prescribing are different from doctor to doctor.
General rules cannot be made regarding danger in repeating meds.
Some meds require that the dose should be repeated frequently. In case of others it is not advisable to repeat frequently.
It has to be decided based upon the medicine and the case.

This is one area where no two doctors agree.
It is decided mostly on the training the doctor received and his clinical experience.
Whether 200 or 1M it is mandatory to take the case afresh after a week,and if amel.is continuing no interference is warranted.
If no improvement,worsening or standstill needs review of the whole case again.
I suggest one should read vithoulkus's "science of Homeopathy."
Lot many doubts are clarified there.

Whether to take 1M or higher or lower depends on the stage of the disease, personality, the type of treatment patients history etc. etc. many factors and also the experience of the practitioner prescribing. Truly its a question where no two doctors agree.
But a widely accepted fact is that potency from 200,onwards i.e 1M , 10M etc should not be repeated before a gap of one week. But repeating it on and on every week till symptoms clear up CAN SOMETIMES be harmful regards you risk yourself taking overdosage, as because some times the symptoms get clear up after 15 days or 30 days of stopping the medication.In that case if you continue taking 1M every week it may mask the curing process and show symptoms characteristic of the remedy itself i.e of over dosage...
Thanks. F.S

If a patient has fever and symptoms correspond to Aconite, then repeating 1M every hour for 3 or 4 doses is in order (until the degree of the fever begins to decline).
I am giving this just as an example.
Similarly, there are other such medicines and there can be similar situations.
So, hard and fast rules cannot be made with respect to 1M potency and/or higher potencies.
Another book that helps is "Dr. Clarke's Prescriber".
