What is the difference between the new guidelines and old guidelines?

The main difference in the new GP is the insertion of examples to better explain the context of the GP. Besides, the new GP also consolidates infographic of decision tree, guideline to fill up the application form, application form for new application and amendment, format of celebrity endorsement and customer testimony and the appeal notice to Minister of Ministry of Health Malaysia. 

There are also changes in the provisions within the new guidelines, such as press release of NCE products is now allowed to be published more than one time; supplement products are allowed to be offered as gift for the purchase of the same product; and mandatory statement “This is a medicine/ supplement/ traditional product” has been removed from advertisement format has also been stated in the new guidelines.
