Can anyone find a list of them? 30 mins on Google and I can't find it. Heard rumours that it includes lots of common remedies, st john's wort etc.

The deadline of Apr 30th seems to have passed with a damp squib. There is a list on the MHRA site if you look around there. Plenty of herbs will still be available, but plenty of other 'remedies' will no longer be for sale. Things that generally fill up your spam box...

Plenty of information here: http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Howweregulate/Medicines/Her...

Here's a list of things that have the proper paperwork

Like I said, plenty of information here....

A lot of products have re-classified as food supplements to avoid the above, but have to have certain ingredients in them to qualify. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer who should be able to give you more information.
