Standardizing the Market for Traditional Chinese Medicine Herbal Medicines and Decoction Pieces
2025-08-25
Regulating the market for traditional Chinese medicinal materials and processed herbal slices is a crucial step in safeguarding public health and ensuring medication safety. In recent years, relevant authorities have continuously strengthened oversight of this market to guarantee the quality and safety of these products.
On one hand, market regulators are strictly overseeing the procurement channels for traditional Chinese medicinal materials and processed herbal products, requiring companies to source these materials only from enterprises holding proper pharmaceutical production and distribution licenses—and firmly prohibiting purchases from illegal or unapproved suppliers. At the same time, companies are being urged to rigorously enforce their incoming inspection and acceptance procedures, ensuring that every batch of medicinal herbs and processed herbal products comes with valid certificates and clear labeling, while also maintaining accurate and comprehensive records of all inspections and acceptances.
On the other hand, market regulators have stepped up oversight of the sales practices involving Chinese medicinal materials and processed herbal products. Companies are required to comply with the national classification system for prescription and over-the-counter drugs, selling prescription medications only with a valid prescription. Additionally, they are strictly prohibited from engaging in illegal promotional activities, such as offering free drugs with purchases. Furthermore, there are specific guidelines for the display and storage of herbal products, mandating that they be displayed in a centralized manner with clearly visible signage to prevent issues like insect infestation or mold growth.
In terms of advertising, market regulators have also stepped up their oversight efforts. Advertisements for traditional Chinese medicinal materials and processed herbal products must not include claims or guarantees about efficacy or safety, nor should they mention cure rates or effectiveness percentages—this is to prevent misleading consumers. Additionally, advertisements are required to clearly highlight important information such as contraindications and potential adverse reactions, ensuring that consumers have a comprehensive understanding of the product details.
Through the implementation of these measures, the market for traditional Chinese medicinal materials and processed herbal products has been further standardized, providing the public with safer and more effective Chinese medicine products and services.
