GK Pharma Unani Product List in Bangladesh

GK Pharma (Unani) Ltd. BD makes Unani medicines, and its range on Arogga is syrups in half-litre and quarter-litre bottles, capsules at a single strength, and a tablet. Every item is taken by mouth.

The grid above carries what is in stock and what each pack holds. Because several of these names repeat their own volume, read the bottle size once and then check it against the figure in brackets. The broader shelf is Arogga’s Herbal & Nutraceuticals collection.

The Word That Is Missing From the Name

The company signs itself GK Pharma (Unani) Ltd. BD, and that parenthetical is the whole identity. Most people looking for it type the word Unani somewhere in the phrase; the shortest form, GK Pharma, is the minority way of asking.

It matters because GK Pharma on its own reads like any other pharmaceutical company. With Unani attached it reads like what it is: a maker working in a separate tradition, with a separate pharmacopoeia and a separate licence. Spellings vary too — G K Pharma spaced, gkpharma closed up, জিকে ফার্মা in Bangla script, and the occasional farma. They are all the same company.

How a Unani Product Is Identified

Conventional medicines carry a generic name, which is the molecule. Unani products carry a classical formulation name instead, and on this range that name sits in the same field.

Habb-e and Qurs

Those two words are dosage forms in Unani pharmacy. Habb-e is a pill and Qurs is a flat tablet, and a classical preparation is named by its form followed by its formula. So Habb-e Musaffi and Qurs Imsaki are full identifiers in that system, in the way a molecule name is in another.

Where the registered record carries one

A minority of the listings here have a classical name recorded against them, and all of them are capsules or tablets:

• Arecona capsule 500mg — registered against Habb-e Hamal
• Omacure capsule — registered against Qurs Penitab
• Toxnil capsule 500mg — registered against Habb-e Musaffi

Where it does not

The rest carry a brand name and nothing behind it, so the invented word is the only identifier a shopper gets:

• Herbocal-D capsule 250mg
• Piledex 500 capsule 500mg
• Sativex capsule

If you were handed a classical name by a hakim, the first group is searchable and the second is not. That is worth knowing before you go looking.

The split runs along form rather than along anything else. Every syrup on the range is brand-named only, while the classical names sit entirely among the capsules and the tablet. Whether that reflects how the preparations were registered or simply who filled the field in, the catalogue does not say.

The Syrups

The liquid side of the range runs to four bottles in a pair of sizes:

• Alkengi 450ml syrup 450ml
• Toxnil 450ml syrup 450ml
• Holy Ushba 200ml syrup 200ml
• Joysun 200ml syrup 200ml

Read those titles again and the oddity is plain: each one states its volume twice, once inside the brand name and once after the word syrup. There is only one bottle. A shopper scanning quickly could easily read the pair as a multipack.

The doubling is not harmless either, because it is inside the brand word. Search for the bottle by name and the volume comes along with it, so the shorter name that a dispenser would say out loud does not match the title the catalogue holds.

One Name on Two Different Things

Toxnil appears twice in the list — as a capsule at a stated strength and as a 450ml syrup. They share a brand name and nothing else that the record shows.

Only the capsule carries a classical formulation name behind it. The syrup carries none, so there is no way from the catalogue to tell whether the two are the same preparation in different forms or simply the same word reused. Ask at the counter before you substitute one for the other.

What the Numbers in Brackets Mean

A few titles here put a figure in round brackets after the brand name, and it is a count of units in the pack rather than a strength:

The pair of Pinnacle Dicare (10) capsule 500mg and Pinnacle Dicare (60) capsule 500mg are the same capsule at the same strength in a small pack and a large one.

The third is Melodex (30) tablet, the only tablet on the range, where the bracket again holds a pack count and no strength is stated at all. The same convention is not applied anywhere else in the list, so an unbracketed capsule tells you nothing about how many are in it.

A Claim Inside a Registered Name

One tablet on this range is registered with a word in its title that promises an outcome for a named respiratory condition. That wording is the manufacturer’s, printed on the pack and reproduced in the catalogue because a registered name has to be reproduced exactly.

Arogga does not repeat it and does not link that listing from here. It is still in the grid above, where the title is generated rather than written, and it has been raised for review. Treat the promise in it as marketing language rather than as a statement about what the product does.

Taking a Unani Product Alongside a Prescription

What to say, and when

Unani preparations are plant and mineral based, and plant actives interact with conventional drugs the way any other active does. Nothing about a traditional label makes that less true.

So tell your doctor what you are taking, by name, including anything bought without a prescription. Take the pack with you if you can; a classical formulation name means more to a pharmacist than a brand word does, and most of these packs carry only the brand word.

Why nothing here prompts the question

None of these listings carries a prescription flag, so nothing in the buying process stops to ask. The risk is highest for anyone on blood thinners, diabetes medication or blood pressure tablets, anyone with liver or kidney trouble, and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

A traditional preparation is still a preparation. If a new symptom starts after you begin one, stop and ask rather than waiting to see.

What Changes the Price

Across a list like this the figure moves with:

• Pack count — the bracket figure, where there is one
• Bottle size — 200ml against 450ml on the syrups
• Form — bottling a liquid and filling a shell are different operations
• Ingredient supply — a herbal preparation follows crop and import cycles

The bracketed capsules show the first of those on their own: one preparation, one strength, two pack counts, two figures. Nothing else on the range gives you that comparison, so the number beside a bottle is not telling you the same thing as the number beside a strip.

About GK Pharma

GK Pharma (Unani) Ltd. BD is a Bangladeshi manufacturer of Unani medicines. Unani is a Graeco-Arabic medical tradition that reached South Asia centuries ago and is still practised across Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, with its own classical texts, its own formulation names and its own practitioners, who are called hakims.

Bangladesh licenses Unani and Ayurvedic manufacture separately from conventional pharmaceutical manufacture, under its own register. Companies working in it generally produce classical formulations alongside branded preparations of their own, which is what this range is: syrups, capsules and a tablet, some registered against a classical name and some only under an invented one.

Its products reach customers through pharmacies and Unani dispensaries rather than through general retail.

Buying GK Pharma Products Online in Bangladesh

The grid above is the live list and the fastest way to check a name you were given. Match the brand word first, then the form, then the bracket figure, because a capsule and a syrup here can share everything except what is in them.

For comparable preparations from other makers, the neighbouring shelves are Arogga’s Natural Care & Wellness and Health & Immunity Boosters collections, and the catch-all Miscellaneous shelf where this whole range is filed.

Confirm the full title before you order. A pair of these names differ only by a figure in brackets.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is GK Pharma the same as GK Pharma (Unani) Ltd. BD?

Yes. The short form is how the brand record is written and the long form is how the company signs itself. G K Pharma, gkpharma and জিকে ফার্মা all point at the same maker.

2. What do Habb-e and Qurs mean on a pack?

They are Unani dosage forms — a pill and a flat tablet. A classical preparation is named by its form and then its formula, so Habb-e Musaffi identifies a specific traditional recipe.

3. How is Unani different from Ayurvedic and homeopathic medicine?

They are three separate traditions with different origins, different texts and different preparation methods. Unani came through the Greek and Arabic world, Ayurveda from the Indian subcontinent, homeopathy from Germany. They are not interchangeable.

4. What does the number in brackets mean?

A pack count, not a strength. The paired Pinnacle Dicare listings are the same capsule at the same milligram figure, in a small pack and a large one.

5. Can I take these alongside my regular medicine?

Ask your doctor first and name every item. Herbal actives interact with conventional drugs, and none of these listings carries a prescription flag to prompt the question for you.

6. জিকে ফার্মার পুরো product list কোথায় দেখব?

উপরের তালিকাটাই পুরো list — syrup, capsule আর tablet সব একসাথে। নাম মিলিয়ে নিতে চাইলে brand word আর form দুটোই দেখুন, শুধু নাম দেখে নয়।

7. ইউনানি ওষুধ কি ডাক্তারের ওষুধের সাথে খাওয়া যায়?

আগে ডাক্তারকে জানান, কী কী খাচ্ছেন নাম ধরে বলুন। ভেষজ উপাদানও শরীরে কাজ করে, তাই নিজে থেকে মিলিয়ে খাওয়ার সিদ্ধান্ত না নেওয়াই ভালো।
