According to this system the choice of the medicine is fundamentally based on the principle that the medicine must have the capability of producing most similar symptoms of the disease to be cured in healthy persons. Material And Methods: The present study was carried at Sri Guru Nanak Dev Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana. Study among 30 patients based on clinical history including subjective and objective signs and symptoms, would aim to draw the conclusion of therapeutic efficiency and managing the case by second prescription.

Conclusion: The Study was conducted with the objective of assessing the "Principles for selection of Simillimum and Importance of Second Prescription in case Management."
