Medicine overview
Description
Composition
Per a Bangladesh pharmacy source (the only source where a composition for this specific capsule SKU could be found), each capsule of Antiligo (Unani formulation category: Antiligo) contains Psoralea corylifolia (Bakuchi) 218.75mg, Chebulic Myrobalan (Terminalia chebula) 250mg, and Ginger (Zingiber officinale) 31.25mg. This composition is single-source information, as Hamdard Laboratories' own dedicated product page for this item could not be located.
Hamdard's India operations also sell a product called "Antiligo," but that is a distinctly different product - a 60g powder (not a capsule) combined with honey and sugar, per Indian retail sources. While both products share Psoralea corylifolia (Bakuchi) as a core ingredient traditionally used for vitiligo, the Bangladesh Antiligo capsule and the India Antiligo powder are not the same formulation, dosage form, or dosing schedule. This description is based on the Bangladesh capsule product only, and the India powder-form composition should not be assumed to apply here.
Uses & Indications
Vitiligo (leucoderma) - a single, specific indication, per a Bangladesh pharmacy source, rather than the broader multi-indication pattern seen in some other Hamdard products. As with all traditional/Unani medicine indications, this reflects the manufacturer's and directory's stated traditional use rather than a claim backed by disclosed clinical trial data, and should not be treated as a substitute for dermatological medical care for this condition.
Dosage & Administration
1-2 capsules twice daily, or as prescribed by a physician, per a Bangladesh pharmacy source. Follow the instructions on your specific product packaging, or consult a pharmacist or physician.
Precautions & Side Effects
A Bangladesh pharmacy source reports no known contraindications and no significant side effects at the recommended therapeutic dosage. As with any herbal product intended for a visible skin condition, individuals should have realistic expectations about outcomes and should consult a dermatologist or physician, both to confirm the diagnosis and to discuss this product alongside any other prescribed treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a physician before use.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and out of reach of children. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack. This product is sold in a 50-capsule (5x10) box, matching the packaging pattern used across Hamdard's other capsule products in this catalog.
