Eom: Study on the Application of Established Korean Medical Classics in the Korean Pharmaceutical Affairs Act

Abstract

Purpose:

There is an issue in applying various principles introduced in established Korean medical classics to “Pharmaceuticals Approval, Notification and Review” of “herbal medicinal preparations” and “new drugs from natural products” that are used for western forms of medical treatment. Thus, an analysis of the origin, purpose, and application of established Korean medical classics in the Korean Pharmaceutical Affairs Act is essential.

Methods:

We collected data regarding the origin, purpose, and application of established Korean medical classics in the Korean Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, and classified them by periodical change and subjects.

Results:

Established Korean medical classics are applied as follows:
  1. as criteria for Korean medicine distributors’ sales of mixed herbal drugs (Pharmaceutical Affairs Act; since 1953),

  2. as official compendiums for pharmacists’ preparation of Korean medicine (Ministry of Health and Welfare’s authoritative interpretation; from early 1970s to 1993),

  3. as standards for oriental pharmacists’ quality measurement of preparations (notification of the Ministry of Health and Welfare; since 1995),

  4. as criteria for “Pharmaceuticals Approval, Notification and Review” of herbal medicinal preparations and crude drug preparations (notifications regarding drug approval process by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety; since 1978), and

  5. as standards for the quality of materials of health functional food (from 2004 to 2011).

Conclusion:

The application of Korean medical classics has been closely related with the change of the laws, regulations, and systems that are relevant to Korean medicine, and it seems to be more favorable for pharmacists than oriental pharmacists. Meanwhile, regulations that apply prescriptions that are recorded in Korean medical classics - dosage, indications, and preparation methods - as criteria for the approval of crude drug preparations for western medical treatment should be abolished.
