Challenges during “Phasing-in” and im plem enting ACQUI S ( 1 / 2 )

Challenges during “Phasing-in” and im plem enting ACQUI S ( 2 / 2 )

  • Too long time for MA procedures and sometimes

just minimal quality in performances

  • Too big turnover of experts makes additional

burdens to keep constant national competence

  • Need for competence development for active

participation in EU regulatory framework

After 5 years w e finally confirm ed a status of food supplem ent for popular MP

Validolis – ne vaistas, o m aisto papildas

2009-07-21 Valstybinė visuomenės sveikatos priežiūros tarnyba prie Sveikatos apsaugos ministerijos (VVSPT) informuoja, kad nuo š. m. liepos 1 dienos validoliu prekiaujama kaip maisto papildu. VVSPT atkreipia dėmesį į tai, kad maisto papildas yra ne vaistas, o maisto produktas, neturintis gydomojo poveikio ir nevartotinas jokioms ligoms gydyti. Lietuvoje validolis nebepriskiriamas vaistams nuo 2003 m. Valstybinė vaistų kontrolės tarnyba atsisakė jį registruoti kaip vaistą, nes nėra įrodyta, kad jis padėtų sergant kokia nors liga. 2004-aisiais validolis buvo įtrauktas į medicininės paskirties produktų sąrašą, kuris š. m. liepos 1 dieną panaikintas. Ilgą laiką validolis vartotas esant širdies veiklos sutrikimams.

As a consequence, medicines availability is not always sufficient with the absence of essential ones, such as:
