摘要
中医药在美国只是相对西药独立存在的多种传统医药的一种。为与西医进行区分,美国人将这些不同的医学统一称为补充与替代医学。迄今为止,美国尚无对中药管理的专门法律法规,对中药的要求分散在不同的法律法规中。2004年,美国颁发了《植物药物产品指南》,为以植物药为主的中药进入美国主流医药市场开启了一扇大门。我国中医药企业应充分利用《植物药物产品指南》,选择能够在较短时间内满足FDA相关要求并具有显著疗效的中药产品,完成中药在美国的新药申请并尽快上市。

The Chinese medicine enterprises should make full use of the guide, selecting some traditional Chinese medicine products that have remarkable curative effects and meet the FDA requirements, to complete their new drug applications in the United States and push them to the American pharmaceutical market as soon as possible. This article mainly studied the laws, regulations and policies regarding CHM published by US federal government and the Food and Drug Administration, analyzed their influence on CHM development and investigated the developing trend of CHM in the U.S..
