What kind of herbal medicines are approved by US.FDA?

Answer:
There is not herbal preparation recognized or accepted by the FDA. However, there are several studies going on with several herbs--like Ginkgo Biloba--that if accepted will be incorporated into the pharmaceutical industry for the creation of new drugs upon American territory. Once the pharmaceutical industry takes over any herb to extract one of its alkaloids for drug creation, it becomes patentized. But no herb can be patentized since it is of universal use.When the Codex Alimentarus gets approved there will be a swift reorganization about the use of herbs and foods as never before. I hope US abides by its codes.

None that I know of, since herbals are not under the scrutiny of the FDA. It's always good to talk to your local pharmacist if you have questions regarding the way an herbal medicine will work with your current prescription medication.

None.And God forbid they start regulating them,. they will be in such low concentrations that they will do nothing.

Hi nangtien, although a renaissance is occurring in herbal medicine in the United States, the US. FDA still classifies herbs as dietary supplements and forbids manufacturers to claim that their products are able to treat or prevent specific diseases as for adult patients so for kids.In some countries in Europe, however, herbs are classified as drugs and are regulated. The German Commission E, an expert medical panel, actively researches their safety and effectiveness.

There aren't any products, but the FDA does recognize that certain herbals are very potent.For example, the plant Foxglove gives us the drug digitalis which has saved the lives of many people with heart disease.I guess there's always Aspirin...that's technically an herbal...
