Beware, BPOM Investigates 22 Dangerous Natural Ingredients from March 2026 Surveillance
BPOM found 22 brands of Natural Drug (OBA) which were proven to contain Drug Chemical Substances (BKO) in the supervision period of March 2026, 13 of which were male stamina products, and followed up with further research.
Head of BPOM Taruna Ikrar said in Jakarta, Friday, as many as 6 brands are products for linu pain, one brand is a product for body fat, and 2 brands are itching relief products containing BKO. The substances found in the 22 products include sildenafil, tadalafil, nortadalafil, paracetamol, methyl testosterone, dexamethasone, and antifungal agents.
"As many as 10 of them are products that have an Edar Permit Number (NIE). Meanwhile, the other 12 OBA products do not have NIE or list fictitious NIE on the packaging," said Taruna, quoted by Antara.
He reminded the dangers of adding BKO to OBA products, because the amount added is not known for sure so that the dose is not appropriate for treatment. In fact, some of the drugs are hard drugs and their use must be under the supervision of health workers.
"These illegal products are produced by parties who are not officially identified or use a fictitious producer identity to deceive consumers. The absence of this distribution permit means that these products have never passed the safety, efficacy, and quality evaluation process by BPOM, so that the content in them is very dangerous for consumers." he said.
The list of products is as follows:

"Meanwhile, the uncontrolled use of dexamethasone, prednisolone, sodium diclofenac, and mefenamic acid in products for linu pain can trigger kidney damage, stomach bleeding, to the effect of moon face due to hormonal disorders," he said.
Exposure to substances such as siproheptadin and chlorpheniramin maleate in the long term without proper doses risks causing severe drowsiness, metabolic disorders, and liver function damage.
In addition to the results of supervision in Indonesia, BPOM also received information on health supplement products containing BKO based on reports from other countries' authorities through the Post-Marketing Alert System (PMAS) in the period March 2026. A total of 2 foreign product brands that do not have NIE in BPOM, namely CHU-U and Imthip, were detected circulating in Tailan and containing BKO.
"The product is a male stamina product containing sildenafil and tadalafil, as well as a slimming product that was detected to contain furosemide," he said.
Based on BPOM's investigation, both products are not circulating in Indonesia. However, it is not impossible that there is illegal cross-border circulation of products. The public is asked not to buy or consume these products to avoid serious health risks.
His party is committed to taking firm action against business actors who deliberately add BKO to natural medicine products, and provide sanctions in accordance with applicable regulations and laws.
He appealed that this finding could be public attention regarding the health risks lurking behind natural medicine products that promise instant results. As a preventive measure, the public is urged to always be vigilant and not easily tempted by claims of natural medicine products that promise instant results or have very fast effects.
Taruna also asked the public to only buy products through trusted pharmacy services or drug stores. He also encouraged the public to report through HALOBPOM 1500533, BPOM's official social media, and the BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/BPOM Headquarters/
