JOIN USTamil Nadu Medicinal Plant Farms and Herbal Medicines Corporation Limited (TAMPCOL) has claimed to have developed a herbal Viagra called “Laboob Sageer” to increase libido in old age and treat impotency and premature ejaculation.
“Laboob Sageer” is billed as a substitute for the costly Viagra which is at present available in the market for Rs 150 for a 100 mg pack.
The drug, which has been developed using an ancient ‘Sastric’ Unani formulation, has “no side effects”, TAMPCOL Marketing Manager G Ramanathan said. “It (the drug) has already been tested on patients. We have received a drug licence from the Director of Drugs Control after the clearance by a technical committee,” Ramanathan said.
As it contains many medicines and dry fruits, the drug is named as “Laboob,” meaning dry fruits. While “Sageer” acts as an aphrodisiac, rejuvenator and a general tonic.
