Hi, thank you for your question. Many patients will look up other threatment alternatives when they fall sick. As with most traditional medications, we do
not know the contents of this juice and what substances have been added to them.

Some of these people who produce or sell this product may have added other substances into the juice in order to produce instant results. Therefore, patients have to be extra careful especially if you feel that it gives you immediate improvement in your condition. Most of the time, it improves your condition initially and cause side effects later on. Some of the ingredients in these products were not registered under The Drug Control Authority (DCA).

This means that they have not passed the relevant tests which determine their safety, quality and efficacy. Some of them contain high levels of heavy metals like mercury, cadmium, lead and arsenic. Exposure to these ingredients may lead to serious complications, such as chronic kidney disease.

Some tips for usage of traditional medicine are as follows:

1. Make sure that the juice is a registered product under DCA. Registration number of traditional medications begins with “MAL”, followed by 8 digits, and end with a letter “T”. You can checked whether it is registered under DCA via the Registered Products Search Service on the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) website.

2. Confirm the authenticity of Meditag hologram label on the medication with your pharmacists or doctor.

3. Get medications from reliable sources, for example, clinics, hospitals and pharmacies.
   Even if you are taking this juice, you should not stop the medication prescribed by your doctor unless if you are told to do so. Besides, you should let your doctor know that you are taking this juice, to prevent unwanted drug-drug interactions.
