In 2008 an opinion of the European Medicines Agency established that Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr. et Maxim) Maxim complied with the requirements set out in Directive 2001/83/EC as a herbal substance, a herbal preparation or a combination thereof within the meaning of that Directive and it was therefore included in the list of herbal substances, preparations and combinations thereof for use in traditional herbal medicinal products established by Commission Decision 2008/911/EC (2). |
(2) |
As part of its review of monographs and list entries to keep them relevant, the Committee for Herbal Medicinal Products has reviewed the list entry Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr. et Maxim) Maxim and adopted an opinion to change the list entry with regard to the name of the herbal substance in certain EU official languages, the phrasing of the herbal preparations, update of the reference to the European Pharmacopoeia and update of some information necessary for the safe use, e.g. revision of the contraindications. Some of those changes are the result of an update of the template for list entries. |
(3) |
Decision 2008/911/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Medicinal Products for Human Use, |
