Natural Health Products Update
Last April, representatives of the Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD)
met in Ottawa with Carin Roessler (representing the CSH Political Action
committee) and, in the Vancouver-area, with Jo
Twiss (President) and Christopher Gehry (Vice-President).
At both meetings we expressed concerns about restrictions on
importing homeopathic medicines in both liquid and dry form for use by
professional homeopaths. We
also offered suggestions regarding the raw materials and compounding
policy interpretations that could alleviate these immediate problems.
We
are pleased to report that NHPD has announced that the policy has been
revised to allow the importation of both liquid medicating potencies and
dry medicated pellets by professional homeopaths for use in their
practice.
Should any of our professional or student members encounter any difficulty
with the importation of homeopathic products (other than those for
re-sale), please get in touch with the CSH office at homeopathy@csoh.ca
or 604-803-9242 and we will inform NHPD immediately.
For details of the NHPD decision, please refer to the Compounding Policy
and Raw Material Policy at their website: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/prodnatur/legislation/pol/index_e.html.
Quote
from NHPD: Natural Health
Products (NHP) Raw Material Policy has been revised to clarify that a
medicating potency or medicated pellet, when not manufactured, sold or
represented for NHP use, is considered a raw material under the Natural
Health Products Regulations, as these products do not meet the function
component of an NHP, as defined in Schedule 1 of the NHP definition.
Therefore, importation or sale of medicating potencies or medicated
pellets, when not manufactured, sold or represented for NHP use, does not
require a site or product licence, as site and product licensing
requirements do not apply.
