The research work on human placental extract for its evaluation as a drug for wound healing had already been established globally. The extensive 12 yrs research work at Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Kolkata (a unit of CSIR India) produced many a number of scientific publications which glorified India at global scientific community. Human Placental extract is a very effective drug. It contains several bioactive therapeutic molecules e.g. fibronectin type III like peptide, NADPH, PDRNs, peptides with protease regulatory property etc (ref. www. Pubmed.com). So far we have not found any adverse effect of the drug. DCGI recently put a ban on the drug without giving any explanation except the fact that this kind of drug is banned in US. It is ridiculous that thousands of drugs which are really toxic and banned in US and other countries are still exists in the Indian market. Regarding Placental extract, India is the forerunner in proper scientific and thorough clinical research. Placenta is a treasure house of all bioactive molecules can never be synthetically generated. Without knowing the rationality, efficacy and safety ‘Banning this highly reputed product of India’ is very much unethical and must be reconsidered.

Research findings on indigenous human placental extract which is available at pubmed(www.pubmed.com)is very rational, based on extremely scientific foundation. Efficacy of the drug is unquestionable and it has been accepted by the global scientific community through several high rated international and National scientific journals. Banning of such a successful Indian formulation is a shame for the country itself. Through the research on this placental extract our country has been glorified several times. Without knowing the actual fact, banning the drug is a shameful as per my opinion.

Many successful reseach on human placental extract have been done in veterinary and medical feild and it is quite understood about its effectiveness. it is rediculous that without any explanation about its side effects it is banned.That should be rethink.
