A Criminal case was filed against Kunnath Pharmaceuticals on charges of advertising in newspapers about its drugs which is a prohibited activity in India. Drugs & Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954 controls the advertisements of drugs in certain cases and prohibits the advertisements for certain purposes of remedies alleged to possess magic qualities.
The accused Kerala-based pharmaceutical company advertised in newspapers that its product Musli Power Extra improves the capacity of human beings for sexual pleasure. Vijayawada-based Consumers' Guidance Society wrote a letter to the pharma company to stop advertising its products since it is illegal. Instead of stopping the advertisements, the accused pharma company defended its products stating it is a fine product without any side effects. It also added that its products proved to be efficacious up to 80 to 85 per cent success rate. In other words, whoever complains that the drug is not working, the pharma company says that the unfortunate user falls in the 20 per cent failed cases. That is the trick of this cheating company.
After asking the pharma company in vain to re-issue the advertisement after including the 80 per cent success rate, the Consumers Guidance Society filed a criminal case against company for cheating and misleading the public with its advertisements which is a banned activity.
Drugs & Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954 states in its schedule 54 diseases or disorders or conditions for which there should be no advertisements which includes among others - form and structure of the female bust, obesity, sterility in women, stature of persons, sexual impotence.

Govt. of kerala banned the production and sales of drug w.e.f 01.04.2011. the company is now waging a legal battle with the tacit support of the Drugs control department in kerala.
the supreme court confirmed the ban of advertisement but the company is advertising through internet and selling the product online in violation of D& C Act
is it really not good for sexual health.
One must note that Kunnath Pharma claims that its success rate is 74 per cent. If anybody complains that it did not work, they say that the complainant unfortunately falls in the 26 per cent of failures.
Generally, nobody lodges a complaint fearing humiliation. The subject itself is delicate to discuss openly. That it is why there are minimum number of complaints.
The Andhra Pradesh State Food Laboratory tested the products and stated that there were traces of allopathic medicine used in viagra in the Musli Power Xtra. So Kunnath Pharma is cheating people with the claims that it is ayurvedic.
i send a cheque rs 1200.00 to kunnayhpharma dated 28.02.2011 for musli power extra butcompany did not supply m.s.p till date so i said to all please do not belive such false n lie company
