The Phytomedicine (PM) and Food supplements (FS) Market is considerably growing in Morocco a review of state is necessarily to structure and improve it.
Information was collected directly from the pharmacist through a questionnaire-based survey who was conducted in 284 pharmacies in the region of Fez-Meknes in Morocco. Data were analyzed and classified using relative frequency of citations (RFC).
More than 98% of the pharmacies commercialized the PM and FS, 80% of the pharmacists deny the existence of a real area dedicated to them, the majority (94%) of them prefer phytomedicine rather than classic drugs. This study reported about 64 products as the most used by the population of the region of Fez-Meknes among them 48 FS (75%) and 16 PM (25%) and the most marketed products are used for Transit Disorders (28.34%), then Anxiety (22.17%) and ENT Disease (20.18%).
Despite the fact that Morocco is a country where people use medicinal plants daily, the commercialization of the PM and FS is still unstructured. Due to legal problem the PM Sold in the market are mainly exported. To assure development and also valorization of this sector the regulation of this market is highly required.
摩洛哥的草药（PM）和食品补充剂（FS）市场正在迅速增长，对其进行审查对于结构调整和改进是必要的。
通过在摩洛哥非斯-梅克内斯地区的 284 家药店进行问卷调查，直接从药剂师那里收集信息。使用相对引文频率（RFC）对数据进行分析和分类。
超过 98%的药店销售 PM 和 FS，80%的药剂师否认存在专门的区域，其中大多数（94%）更喜欢草药而不是传统药物。本研究报告了该地区最常用的约 64 种产品，其中 48 种 FS（75%）和 16 种 PM（25%），最畅销的产品用于治疗交通障碍（28.34%），其次是焦虑（22.17%）和耳鼻喉疾病（20.18%）。
尽管摩洛哥是一个人们每天都使用药用植物的国家，但 PM 和 FS 的销售仍然没有结构。由于法律问题，市场上销售的 PM 主要是出口产品。为了确保该行业的发展和增值，非常需要对该市场进行监管。
