Hi...never mix drugs from allopathic and other alternative medicines...we don't know how the cocktail of drugs interact!!
So to be safe....use either one...never both together!

Hi, we dont know whats the contents used in homeopathy, when there are any side effects, we cannot pin point to a drug, cross reactions may happen between different class of medicines. So better to avoid either allopathy or homepathy.

Myself being an allopath, cannot and shouldn’t comment of efficacy of other branch of medicine. Allergic rhinitis and nasal polyposis do respond to allopathy, that’s all I know.
