Which option indicates you should not re-prescribe?

• A. DON’T Re-prescribe
• B. Re-prescribe
• C. Remedy has No effect
• D. Old symptoms appear

Answer: (A)

Not re-prescribing is the action to take when the initial remedy hasn’t produced a noticeable effect. In homeopathic practice you assess the patient after a remedy and, if there’s no improvement or if the state returns to an earlier pattern, you don’t simply repeat the same remedy. The explicit directive to not re-prescribe communicates the correct course of action most clearly. Re-prescribing would imply repeating the same remedy despite no change, which isn’t appropriate here. Describing that the remedy has no effect is a statement of outcome, not the recommended action, and the appearance of old symptoms signals a need to reassess and possibly choose a different remedy rather than simply re-prescribing.
