The Sathya Unani, under the expert supervision of Dr. S.G.V. Sathya, operates its own state-of-the-art GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) Certified Pharmacy. This facility serves as the backbone of the institution’s clinical success, ensuring that every herbal formulation prescribed to patients is pure, potent, and prepared according to both ancient Unani protocols and modern safety standards.
By maintaining an in-house pharmacy, we eliminates the risks associated with adulterated or low-quality commercial herbs, providing a “Farm-to-Patient” healing experience.
What is GMP Certification in Unani?
GMP certification is a quality assurance system that ensures medicinal products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. At Sathya Unani, this means:
Raw Material Testing: Every herb, mineral, and oil is screened for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial counts.
Standardized Processing: Traditional methods like Kushtasazi (calcination) and Tadhkiya (purification) are done in controlled environments to ensure safety.
Hygienic Environment: The facility maintains strict sanitation to prevent cross-contamination.
Specialized Manufacturing Categories
The pharmacy produces a vast range of classical and proprietary Unani medicines, categorized by their form and function:
A. Internal Medicines (Ilaj-bil-Dawa)
Khamira & Majun: Specialized jams and fermented pastes for heart, brain, and digestive health.
Qurs & Haboob: Precisely measured tablets and pills for Diabetes (Ziabetus), Hypertension, and Kidney Stones.
Sufof (Powders): Fine herbal powders for metabolic and gastric disorders.
Arq (Distillates): High-purity herbal waters used for liver and blood purification.
B. Topical Applications
Roghan (Medicated Oils): Oils for Vitiligo, Psoriasis, and Hair Fall, extracted using traditional cold-press and infusion methods.
Zimad (Ointments): Thick herbal pastes used for joint pain and skin repigmentation.
The "Sathya" Quality Advantage
What sets the Sathya Unani Pharmacy apart from commercial brands is the clinical integration:
Freshness: Medicines are produced in smaller, frequent batches to ensure the volatile oils and active herbal compounds do not degrade.
Proprietary Research: Dr. Sathya has developed specific formulations for Thyroid Reversal, PCOS, and Vitiligo that are exclusive to the institution’s pharmacy.
Purification of Minerals: Traditional Unani minerals (Ma’daniat) undergo hundreds of hours of grinding and processing to ensure they are “bio-available” and non-toxic to the kidneys.
Serving Global and Local Patients
The pharmacy is not just for walk-in patients at the Amberpet, Jubilee Hills, and Malakpet branches.
Courier Services: Because the medicines are produced under GMP standards, they are safely packaged and shipped to patients across India and internationally.
Customized Prescriptions: Since every patient has a different Mizaj (temperament), the pharmacy often prepares customized dosages as per the Hakeem’s specific instructions.
