Аннотация
Although homeopathic and other alternative products are very popular and are supposed to be safe and harmless they are not free of risks. We present the case of a 29-year-old woman who had to be treated for a state of extreme agitation after using speed, alcohol and homeopathic slimming droplets (LOCO X112). Toxicological analysis of these droplets revealed the presence of thyroid extract and diethylpropione, an amphetamine-like noradrenergic anorectic agent banned in Belgium. This case among other reports in the literature proves that homeopathic products are not as safe and harmless as they seem. Medical professionals as well as the public should be aware of this.
