CVS ditches useless cold meds—but not bogus homeopathic products
Bogus homeopathic products based on pseudoscience will remain on shelves.

@arstechnica I see old school pharmacist stock copper bracelets to treat arthritis or is it to ward off the evil eye? Probably just as effective against both I guess.
@arstechnica Mentioned homeopathic products to my local organic food store. The clerk laughed. No way they'll be removed. The profit margin is so high on those products that they just can't justify their removal.
@arstechnica Homeopathic products aren't the only ones that are straight up conning people, just one of the absolute worst. The entire "dietary supplement" loophole needs to be closed. Everything should be evaluated to provide what it says it does and prove it does what it claims to do. The problem is, CVS is among those who most profit from them. They took down the Sudafed products not because they don't work but because they didn't want to risk lawsuits or fines.
@arstechnica Make tons of profit with our🍃⛽️- https://t.me/bows4daloww
@arstechnica no active ingredients - less potential for harm.
@arstechnica "But I used a homeopathic remedy for 5-7 days and my cold went away." /s okay? /s
@arstechnica the best retort to alt medicine came from Tim Minchin. “Do you know what they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine.”
@arstechnica CVS drops some useless cold meds but still stocks up on homeopathic fairy tales? Priorities seem a tad misplaced. How about we champion science over snake oil next time? 🧪🐍 #RealMedsNotMyths
