Abstract

Homeopathy is one of the most frequently used systems of complementary and alternative medicine. The patients who seek homeopathic treatment are primarily those suffering from long"‘standing, chronic diseases. These medicines may have considerable risk of severe side effects. Some homeopathic medicinal preparations use alcohol as a base and are frequently prescribed for common conditions. We hereby report an unusual case of refractory metabolic acidosis after homeopathic medicinal treatment.
