Regulation of Natural Products – a Global Challenge
Part C
Scientific eSeminar
Online | December 2nd, 2022, 3.00 PM – 5.30 PM (CET)
The regulation of natural products is a global challenge, given the multitude of regulatory pathways and different approaches globally. Therefore, GA, the Society for Medicinal Plants and Natural Product research, steps in a series of lectures on Regulatory Affairs for (traditional) herbal medicinal products, herbal food supplements (so called botanicals), and substance-based medical devices, with leading experts from industry, authorities and academia worldwide as lecturers. The aim is to help in differentiating the different market niches for herbal products in the countries of this world and to reveal pros and cons of the categories. Part A of the eSeminar, started in autumn 2021, gave an overview of the regulation of mainly supply and quality of the products from different regulatory pathways.
Part B of the eSeminar series in spring 2022, with four issues, gave insights to the regulation of the different types of natural products in different regions worldwide, again presented by renowned experts in the field.
Now Part C is starting on 2nd December with a kick-off on Regulatory Concepts in the EU, Switzerland and an alternative pathway through substance-based medical devices.

eSymposium: Phytotherapeutics in Children
Rationalizing optimal Dosing for use in Children:
Current Situation – Potential Solutions – Activities needed
Science for Children at the border between paediatrics, regulatory affairs, toxicology and epidemiology
“Children are no small adults with respect to the treatment with medicinal products” – as stated by WHO. This understanding has been the basis for the initiative of the European Commission to build the Paediatric Committee (PDCO) as scientific board in the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
A Paediatric Regulation came into force in the European Union (EU) on 26 January 2007. Its objective was and still is to improve the health of children in Europe by facilitating the development and availability of medicines for children aged 0 to 17 years. 15 years later we have to realize, that the results are moderate.
This eSymposium will give opportunity to analyse the reasons and to present prospects for alternatives to establish proof of safe and efficacious herbal medicines for children’s use. The eSymposium should be the starting point to discuss actions to be initiated as soon as possible to find suitable ways for establishing rationalized dosage regimes for phytotherapeutics for the use in children.
This eSymposium is a joint initiative of the Society of Medicinal Plants and Natural Products Research (GA), the Gesellschaft für Phytotherapie (GPT) and the Foundation Plants for Health (PfH) with the aim facilitating research in this neglected area of healthcare, including future funding opportunities of research for phytotherapeutics in children.
The Seminar will take place via Zoom on May 17, 2022, 10.00 am – 5.00 pm (CEST). No fee will be charged; a registration link will soon be published.
