How are homeopathic medicines controlled in Malaysia?
Homeopathic medicine means any drug in a pharmaceutical dosage form that is used in the homeopathic therapeutic system in which diseases are treated by the use of minute amounts of such substance which is capable of producing in healthy persons symptoms similar to those of the disease being treated. Homeopathic medicines in finished dosage forms have to be registered with the Drug Control Authority before they can be imported and sold in the country. A foreign company wishing to bring such products into Malaysia has to appoint a local agent to be the holder of the registration certificate. The appointed agent will be responsible for all matters pertaining to the registration of the products.
