First Home-Made Edible Herbal Nanodrug Presented to Pharmacies across Iran
Tehran, Iran | Posted on December 17th, 2014"SinaCurcumin edible herbal nanodrug contains curcumin as API, which is extracted from turmeric and it has many useful effects such as prevention of the proliferation of malignant cells in the body, anti-oxidant properties, reducing inflammation in joints, and protective effects on liver in cases like fatty liver," Dr. Mahnaz Qomi, the producer of the drug and Managing Director of Exir Nano Sina Company, stated.
Turmeric has been used in traditional and modern medicine and it is consumed as additives in cooking different meals. Curcumin existing in turmeric has very low sorption by the digestive system. However, its sorption has significantly increased by using nanotechnology and by encapsulating it in nano-missiles.
The drug is presented to consumers in the form of soft gelatin capsules in packages containing 50 capsules without the need for prescription. According to the recommendation of the producing company, the consumption of one capsule per day is appropriate for the adults. No toxic effect has been yet reported for this drug in the tests.
The production of the drug is the result of cooperation between the Knowledge-Based Exir Nano Sina Company and Minoo Pharmaceutics Company.
