Illegality has become a concern again after the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency discovered 32 natural medicines (OBA) that were secretly mixed with medicinal chemicals (BKO).
These findings throughout October 2025 show how many products claim to be ‘natural’, but actually contain hard drugs and are sold without a permit.The majority come from products for aches and pains, followed by male stamina enhancers and slimming products.
Head of BPOM Taruna Ikrar emphasized that this practice is very dangerous to public health and is often carried out by including fake or fictitious distribution permit numbers.

Test results on 1,373 samples showed the use of ingredients such as paracetamol, diclofenac sodium, mefenamic acid, phenylbutazone, steroids, and indomethacin in products for rheumatic pain.All of these ingredients should not be present in herbal medicines.
In the male stamina category, sildenafil and tadalafil were found.Meanwhile, in slimming products, BPOM found sibutramine, furosemide, and bisacodyl, ingredients that have serious risks to the heart, kidneys and the body’s metabolic system.
In the midst of increasing BPOM cases of illegal herbal products, the public is asked to be more wary of products that promise instant benefits.
