Blaming the pharmacy is a little
disingenuous. Consumers should be able to buy medication without the same shelf being sprinkled with fraudulent placebos. This is something that needs to be regulated with warning labels or similar.
- smsm42 4y agoI think the pharmacy has part of the blame. They know which of the products are homeopathic. To mix them with other medicine or to put them separately is their choice. They can do better, they just don't care enough to invest the minimal effort.
- jupp0r 4y agoTo some degree yes. On the other hand, they'll optimize profit within the bounds of regulation, that's kind of their job. I wouldn't be surprised if margins on homeopathics were higher than margins on effective meds.
- mikkergp 4y agoI mean, most if not all homeopathic remedies label themselves as homeopathic.
- treis 4y agoYes, but they don't include that homeopathic remedies are fake medicine and not everyone will necessarily know that.

- mikkergp 4y agoSadly, I don't think that will change any opinions, particularly of people suspicious of "the man". May ironically make it worse.
- LorenPechtel 4y agoBut usually not obviously so. If the consumers want it I have no problem with a section of homoeopathic stuff. I do have a problem with it being mixed in.
- mikkergp 4y agoI'm not a supporter of homeopathic medicine, but I'd be curious to know the research on half the other stuff in the medical aisle. OTC pain medicines have famously little power vs placebo for instance.
