2017
Bouzabata, A.
The World Health Organization (WHO) encouraged developing countries to integrate into their health system, herbal remedies ensuring safety, efficiency and quality aspects are guaranteed. Algeria has a reserve of herbal drugs, knowledge and expertise in traditional medicine for human and veterinary use. The objective of this work is to present national drug regulation of herbal medicines and the introduction of measures for the alleviation of the marketing authorization procedure. For this, the document is divided into two parts: the first summarizes the regulatory environment for herbal medicinal products (HMP) in Algeria, as well as the most marketed HMP; the second presents the legislative criteria to improve the marketing authorization procedure for herbal drugs. These measures have been proposed on the basis of comparative law between the European and Algerian regulations. In addition, a list of herbal drugs with a serious risk for the health was specified as recommended by the European Medicine Agency (EMA).
