03/06/2015 FCMA submission for Review of Medicines and Medical Devices Regulation Chapter Nine: Regulation of Complementary Medicines
After reviewing Chapter Nine: Regulation of Complementary Medicines, the FCMA would like to make the following recommendations: Due to the fact that Chinese medicine profession is nationally regulated via statutory regulation, the FCMA recommends that: 1. A separate committee be established solely for Chinese herbal medicines; 2. A different set of criteria be established for the importation of Chinese herbal products; 3. A different set of criteria be established for the evaluation of the level of risk and toxicity of the Chinese herbal medicines.
