Malaysia Poisons List: The Group A/B/C/D Classification Lines
The First Schedule of the Poisons Act 1952 divides ingredients into Groups A, B, C and D, deciding whether a product needs a prescription, where it can be sold, and whether it is a prescription medicine or OTC. This line is the starting point for brands and importers judging the registration category.

The very same pack of herbal tea may be regulated by the Ministry of Health's Food Safety and Quality Division (FSQD) as a food, or treated by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) as a finished herbal product requiring registration and a MAL number. The dividing line lies in ingredient ratios, dosage instructions and therapeutic claims — not in what the product is called.
Supplement vs. Traditional Medicine vs. Food: How the Three-Way Classification Works (Malaysia)
