Purpose

Greetings,

The Malaysian Herbal Monograph (MHM) Committee is currently developing a new pharmacopoeia document titled "Ficus deltoidea subsp. deltoidea (Mas Cotek) Leaf". This document serve as the definitive reference for the quality control, regulatory compliance, and registration of natural products both in Malaysia and for international trade.

Our goal is to ensure that local herbal standards are scientifically rigorous, commercially feasible, and harmonized with international quality requirements. Therefore, feedback from industry stakeholders is crucial. Your input ensures that the specifications (from identification tests to limits for heavy metals and marker compounds) are practical for industry adoption while maintaining high safety and efficacy standards.

Therefore, you are cordially invited to participate in the review of the pharmacopoeial document which is accessible at the Unified Public Consultation (UPC) Portal as per the steps and the link described below:

Forum: Draft document of the Malaysian Herbal Pharmacopoeia for "Ficus deltoidea subsp. deltoidea (Mas Cotek) Leaf".
