New homeopathic medicines: use of modern drugs according to the  
principle of similitude
Marcus Zulian Teixeira

Background - The homeopathic method is based on the application of the  
principle of therapeutic similitude (similia similibus curentur),  
using medicines that cause effects similar to the symptoms of disease  
in order to stimulate the reaction of the organism against  
disturbances. Such vital, homeostatic or paradoxical reaction of the  
organism can be scientifically explained on the basis of the rebound  
effect of modern drugs.
Aims - This article presents the conclusion of a study aiming at a  
method to use modern drugs with homeopathic criteria.
Methods - Adverse effects as catalogued in United States Pharmacopoeia  
Dispensing Information Drug monographs were collected.
Results - A homeopathic materia medica and repertory comprising 1251  
modern drugs to be employed according to the principle of therapeutic  
similitude was developed.
Conclusion - Besides supplying a basis for homeopathy as a medical  
rationale related to scientific pharmacology, this study makes  
available a method that may broaden the scope of intervention of  
homeopathy in present day diseases.
