MHRA refreshes list of herbal medicines holding traditional herbal registrations

🇬🇧 MHRA · Mon 02 Nov 2026

The UK regulator updated its published list of herbal medicines with a traditional herbal registration on 2 November 2026, with the document now a 33-page PDF.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has updated its list of herbal medicines currently holding a traditional herbal registration (THR). The latest revision is dated 2 November 2026.

The list is published as a PDF of 33 pages and 244 KB. The MHRA moved it from an HTML attachment to a PDF in August 2024. The agency offers an accessible format on request via its web updates mailbox.

The page was first published on 31 December 2014 and has been revised regularly since. Previous updates include one on 28 October 2025, one on 25 March 2022, which added new items, and several between 2016 and 2019 that added or amended individual products. Examples from those entries include Rowiren cream, Silygalon Milk Thistle capsules, Ellura capsules and Kinetex Joint and muscle relief tablets.

The source text does not say which products were added, changed or removed in the November 2026 revision, and the change note says only that the list was updated. Readers will need to consult the PDF itself for product-level detail.

By way of context, the traditional herbal registration scheme allows herbal medicines to be registered in the UK. The MHRA's page describes the list as covering medicines that currently hold a THR.

What it means for your team

  • Regulatory teams should download the new PDF and compare it with the October 2025 version to identify any additions or changes, as the update note gives no specifics.
  • Companies with herbal products should check that their THR entries are listed and accurate.
  • Market-access and competitive-intelligence teams can use the list as a reference for the registered UK herbal products landscape.
  • The page offers email alerts for future updates, which may help teams track revisions.
