"Withdrawal of batches of Gingko biloba and Equisetum arvense


AFSSAPS has been informed by Laboratoires Boiron of an inversion of the labelling of two homeopathic medicaments, The bottles labelled “mother tincture of Gingko biloba” contain mother tincture of Equisetum arvense and vice versa

;. . .

“AFSSAPS has said that this mix-up does not pose any particular risk . . .”
. . .
“Laboratoires Boiron has asked pharmacists who stock these homeopathic medicaments to report, as far as possible, the inversion of labelling to any doctors in their neighbourhood who may have prescribed these items between May and October 2007.”

And according to homoeopaths, a remedy given to someone not already exhibiting its characteristic symptoms should cause 'proving symptoms': i.e. the same symptoms it is used to treat. People given the wrong one of these will most likely be trying desperately to remember where the toilet is.

I've had to go to the toilet twenty-six times today but I can remember every detail of every visit :D.
