We Have Not Approved Paxherbal For Coronavirus Cure – NAFDAC

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has made it clear that it has not approved a Paxherbal product or any herbal mixture for the treatment of coronavirus.

The Director General of NAFDAC, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, today, July 11 described as inaccurate, the reports that the agency NAFDAC has approved a Paxherbal product “specifically for treating symptoms associated with Coronavirus.”

Adeyeye explained that no clinical study has been done on any of the products to prove claims of efficacy and that until a clinical study is done in a scientific manner, no herbal medicine manufacturer can claim effectiveness to treat coronavirus associated symptoms.

“Once the product is able to meet all requirements, a listing status is granted with a clear DISCLAIMER that states clearly that claims have not been evaluated by NAFDAC.

“The applicant can arrange for clinical trials that will involve the use of human subjects in order to prove efficacy or claim for treatment following laid down procedures and with the approval of NAFDAC.

“Most of the applicants that submitted herbal medicines that are currently undergoing processing have been issued compliance directives to provide additional information or/and evidence of Good Manufacturing Practice or environment fit for the production of the medicines.

“Paxherbal applied for Listing of Pax Herbal Cugzin capsule 290mg which was approved by NAFDAC and Listed as “Safe to use.

“The applicant claimed that it is an immune booster and an anti-infective. However, as part of the labelling of the product, and in line with global practice, a Disclaimer is on the product label which clearly states that the claims have not been evaluated by NAFDAC.”
