BPOM Releases List of 50 Traditional Medicines and Supplements Containing BKO: Dangerous for the Liver, Kidneys, and Heart.

Dream - Not all types of drugs sold in the market and claimed to be beneficial for health are safe to consume. Some of them are known to have dangerous side effects.

Friend Dream needs to be careful when buying medicine or supplements. One easy way to know the safety of a medicine is by checking the BPOM number that must be stated on every product.

Not only those derived from chemical substances, but also drugs and supplements claimed to be made from herbal or traditional ingredients must be rechecked for their safety. The medicine or supplement may contain chemicals that are harmful to body health. The side effects are not to be taken lightly. They range from kidney disorders, hepatitis, heart attacks, to death.

BPOM has just released a list of 50 traditional medicines and health supplements suspected to contain Drug Chemical Ingredients (BKO) without safe dosage limits.

"Addition of chemical substances in traditional medicine products and health supplements in the above list is done without estimating the dosage or usage instructions, thus posing a danger to health, especially the liver, kidneys, and heart."

Type of BKO in Medication

BPOM found chemical substances in the form of Sildenafil citrate and Tadalafil in products claimed to enhance male stamina. Dexamethasone, Phenylbutazone, and Paracetamol, which are claimed to relieve muscle aches, were also found in these products. Another chemical substance found is Sibutramine, which is claimed to be a slimming ingredient.

"Dear Dream friends, you should also be careful if you find the content of Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, HCl, Ibuprofen, Sodium diclofenac, mefenamic acid, Prednisolone, Vardenafil HCl, or Yohimbine HCl as found in BPOM products discovered from September 2022 to October 2023."

"Why is its content prohibited?"

BKO is indeed prohibited from being added to traditional medicine. Drug or supplement manufacturers can be subject to violations and legal sanctions in accordance with Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health and Regulation of BPOM No. 19 of 2023 concerning Guidelines for Follow-up Actions on Traditional Medicines, Quasi Drugs, Health Supplements, and Cosmetics.

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags is: "Bad Impact of Consumption"

Consuming traditional medicine or supplements containing BKO can result in effects including loss of vision and hearing, dizziness, kidney disorders, chest pain, and hormonal disorders.

Avoid consuming drugs or supplements that contain BKO more carefully by looking at excessive advertising claims, be cautious of the 'cespleng' effects on traditional medicine, read information on product labels, and check packaging, labels, circulation permits, and expiration dates before purchasing.
