The UK’s Medicines and
Healthcare Products Regulatory
Agency (MHRA) has clamped
down on homeopathic medicine
advertising online to ensure that
items are promoted within the
terms of their authorisation or
registration.
Similarly the MHRA has
forced companies to amend
their advertising to ensure that
prescription only medicines are not
promoted to the public.
The MHRA has also decided that
effective from 01 May 2014, all
herbal medicinal products sold
in the UK will require either a full
marketing authorisation (MA) or a
traditional herbal registration (THR)
in order to remain on the market.
The ruling follows a public
consultation on proposals to
end the current transitional
arrangements which permitted the
‘sell through’ of unlicensed herbal
remedies which were legally on the
market in April 2011.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 22 Nov 13 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 22 Nov 13
