Newly Licensed Herbal Medicines

The table below includes useful information about all the different traditional herbal medicines which have been licensed by the MHRA since the start of the transition to registered products in 2004.

The MHRA approved Summary of Product Characteristics is available to view which is part of the Public Assessment Report (UKPAR) the MHRA routinely publishes following licence approval. This can be particularly useful in that the approved carton label and Patient Information Leaflet for the licensed medicine are included at the end of the document.
