India Seizes Imported Malaysian Herbal Drugs	\| Print \|

CHENNAI, 30 JULY, 2010: Tonnes of smuggled Malaysian herbal drugs, which reportedly improved sexual potency and cured Alzheimer's disease, have been seized by the Kerala drug enforcement agency in India.

Officers from the Cochin Drug Control office seized the drugs from a warehouse in Cochin last Wednesday.

A local company which distributed the drugs was found to have flouted import laws and published advertisements which could possibly mislead the public.
The Chennai-based distributor was found to have links with a renowned company headquartered in Selangor, Malaysia.

Cochin Assistant Drugs Controller Ravi S. Menon told Bernama in a telephone interview Friday: "They did not have valid drug manufacturing or import licences and they advertised that these drugs, sold at exorbitant prices, contained miracle cures."

He said the company, involved in multi-level marketing businesses, largely sold herbal healthcare and beauty products in India.

He said two types of drug imported from Malaysia claimed to cure Alzheimer's disease.
