Pharmacoeconomic Assessment of Allopathic Versus Homeopathic Strategies: Implications for Prescription Recurrence

Paolo Bellavite

This is a pharmaeconomic study to assess the impact of different, cost-specific pharmacological strategies on the recurrence rate of prescriptions in the treatment of cold symptoms. The recurrence rate of prescriptions raise when allopathic strategies are preferred to homeopathic alternatives. No significant differences were observed between gender groups, while age was marginally significant. Inter-subjects heterogeneity was not significant. Costs of homeopathic and allopathic treatments were recorded within each prescription.
