Regulatory Aspects of Herbal Drug Products in India
The national policy on TM/CAM was introduced in 1940 with the publication of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and updated in 1964, 1970 and 1982 . Herbal medicines are regulated as prescription and over the counter medicines and dietary supplements.
AYUSH, Herbal Products and Drugs of Natural Origin
Under 3(h) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act uses the term “Patent or Proprietary (P&P) Medicine” ASU drugs. Schedule ‘T’ of the act: GMP requirements for herbal drugs. The conditions for licensing should be amended to demand rationale for the P or P medicine either on ISM basis or on the basis of the data that are generated by adopting a current scientific methodology.For promoting excellent recipes of AYUSH in both domestic and international markets, a new category, which could be defined as Ayurvedic Cosmetics, should be introduced Adoption of herbs in the ISM system could be permitted if herbs from outside India are adequately researched using research methodology of ISM and their characteristics are evaluated on ISM guidelines (like Rasa, Guna, Veerya, Vipaka, Prabhava, etc)
Standard monographs of important and most commonly used medicinal plants and their standardized extracts be prepared and published.
Recommendations/follow-up:
1. Establish regulatory guidelines / legislation for Herbal Drugs and Formulations in Guyana.2. Train staff on GMP checklist of Herbal Drugs and Formulations for manufacturers.3. Acquire the relevant equipement, standards and training for laboratory staff to analyze Herbal Drugs and Formulations.
