Consultation

Call for scientific data for the periodic review of the monograph on Urticae radix - Revision 1

Draft: consultation closed Consultation dates: 01/04/2021 to 30/06/2021 Reference Number: EMA/HMPC/146382/2021 Summary:

The HMPC invites all interested parties such as pharmaceutical industry associations, health care professional groups, learned societies, consumers and patients’ associations, governmental institutions as well as EU and EEA-EFTA Member States to submit any scientific data that the HMPC should consider at the periodic review of the monograph on Urtica dioica L.; Urtica urens L., radix towards a possible revision of the monograph and supporting documents. The publication of this call is the first step in the procedure established by the committee so that adopted monographs remain up-to-date (scientific state of the art).

To avoid submission of data which were already evaluated during the initial assessment work, interested parties are invited to carefully check the published ‘List of references supporting the assessment’ and ‘Overview of comments received during the public consultation’.

The HMPC is looking to receive scientific literature published since the end date of the public consultation on the monograph and supporting documents.
