Abstract:
In this paper, we reviewed the history of the registration and classification changes of traditional Chinese medicines(TCM) since the establishment of China's drug regulatory agency, and put forward relevant suggestions. Although China's drug regulatory agency has gone through 22 years, the whole regulatory system was gradually built on the basis of the generic pharmaceutical industry at that time and through continuous exploration and summary of simply experience from foreign regulatory agencies. To a certain extent, the supervision of TCM drugs was also affected by some immature supervision ideas during this period. Based on the newly issued Drug Administration Law and Provisions for Drug Registration, the author puts forward some personal thoughts on the classifications of TCM drug registration. It is hoped that experts in the industry and regulatory agencies will work together to explore and improve the relevant system of TCM registration administration.
