DRAP manufacturing licence
Laraib Herbal Pharma is licensed by the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan as a Unani manufacturer. The registration number is printed on every carton we produce.
Licensed, tested and accountable
DRAP E. No: 00803 — what that number actually means for the bottle in your hand, and the seven tests every batch clears before it can be filled.

Quality & certifications
A licence number is a promise you can check
Plenty of herbal syrup in Pakistan is excellent and completely unregulated. We chose the other road in 2004, and it constrains us in ways worth understanding before you buy.
What our DRAP registration means
- The premises were inspected — not just the paperwork A licence is granted to a physical facility. Our extraction hall, syrup kitchen, laboratory and stores were examined against the layout, hygiene and segregation requirements before the number was issued, and remain subject to inspection.
- Each formulation is registered by name Registration is product-by-product. The composition of every one of our formulations is on record with the authority, which is why we cannot quietly change a recipe or substitute a cheaper ingredient between batches.
- Labels must tell the truth Ingredients, net volume, batch number, manufacturing date and expiry date are all mandatory on the pack — and must match the record. If a label ever looks wrong to you, that is a question worth asking, and we want you to ask it.
- There is somewhere to complain A registered manufacturer is accountable to a regulator, not only to its customers. That is a meaningful difference from an unbranded syrup sold loose by the litre, however good it smells.
Laraib Herbal Pharma operates under Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan enterprise licence E. No: 00803. Each formulation carries its own product entry number, and every batch is released only after in-house quality control.
In-house laboratory
Seven tests, every single batch
No batch moves from the extraction hall to the filling line until our own QC team has released it in writing. These are the checks, what they measure, and why each one earns its place.
Released by a person, not a process
Every release is signed by the QC in-charge and filed against the batch number. If a result is borderline, the batch waits — production schedules do not overrule the laboratory.
Quality control tests
| Test | What it checks | Specification | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organoleptic | Appearance, clarity, colour, aroma and taste, judged against the approved reference sample for that formulation. | Matches reference | It is the oldest test we have and still the fastest way to catch a bad lot — a dull colour or a flat aroma means something went wrong upstream. |
| pH | Acidity of the finished syrup or distillate, measured at 25 °C on a calibrated meter. | 3.2 – 4.6 (per product) | A stable, mildly acidic syrup resists spoilage naturally. Drifting pH is the earliest warning that a batch will not keep. |
| Specific gravity | Density of the syrup against water, which tells us how far the pan was reduced. | 1.26 – 1.34 at 25 °C | Under-reduced syrup tastes thin and spoils early; over-reduced syrup crystallises in the bottle. This number keeps the pan honest. |
| Microbial limits | Total aerobic count, yeast and mould, plus specified pathogens on every batch before release. | Pathogens absent | This is the test that exists purely for your safety. A batch that fails it is destroyed — it is never re-worked or blended into another run. |
| Heavy metals | Lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury screened on incoming herb lots and on the finished product. | Within permitted limits | Herbs concentrate whatever is in the soil and water they grew in. Screening the raw material is the only way to be sure of the syrup. |
| Fill volume | Net content checked by weight at fixed intervals through every filling run. | Declared volume, never under | You paid for 800 ml. A drifting filler is a slow way of short-changing thousands of customers without anyone noticing. |
| Seal integrity | Induction seal adhesion and cap torque, with a vacuum hold check on samples from each run. | Zero leak, 100% sealed | The foil under the cap is your proof the bottle has not been opened. If it is broken on arrival, do not accept the parcel. |
Specifications are product-specific and set in the registered formulation record; the ranges shown are typical for our sharbat range. Arqiyat, oils, capsules and powders each carry their own panel.
Credentials
What we can actually prove
Six things a buyer, a stockist or an export partner can verify — not marketing language, but documents, premises and records that exist.
Certifications and credentials
In-house quality laboratory
Physical, chemical and microbial testing all happen in our own laboratory in Multan, staffed by our own QC team, so no batch waits on a third party to be released.
GMP working discipline
Written batch records, cleaning logs, equipment line-clearance between products and controlled material issue — the everyday paperwork that makes a result repeatable.
No animal-derived inputs
Our syrups, distillates and powders are made from plant material, fruit, sugar and water. No gelatin, no alcohol as a carrier, and no animal-derived processing aids anywhere on site.
Batch traceability
A batch number on the pack opens a file naming every raw material, its supplier and intake date, the extraction log and the signed release. Retained samples are held past expiry.
Packaging you can trust
Amber and flint glass wherever the formulation allows it, food-grade PET where glass is impractical, and an induction seal under every cap as tamper evidence.

Safety, plainly
The questions we would want asked
Herbal products invite fair scepticism. Here is where we are careful, where we are confident, and where we will tell you to see a doctor instead.
Safety questions
Unani and herbal manufacturers are licensed and their products registered by the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan. The distinction that matters to you as a buyer is between a registered manufacturer, whose premises and formulations are on record, and loose syrup sold by the litre with no label, no batch number and no expiry date. Ours carries all three.
Please ask your doctor or a qualified hakeem first, and take the bottle with you so they can read the ingredient list. We deliberately do not publish advice about combining our preparations with prescribed medicines, because that judgement depends on the medicine, the dose and the person — none of which we can see from here.
Classical sharbat recipes use sugar as both sweetener and preservative, so they are not suitable for anyone managing blood sugar; our arqiyat contain no added sugar and are the better route. For children we suggest a well-diluted glass rather than neat syrup, and for anyone under five, pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to a doctor before starting anything herbal at all.
Every bottle has a foil induction seal under the cap that you must break to open, plus a tamper-evident cap ring. The carton carries a printed batch number, manufacturing date and expiry date that should match the label on the bottle inside. If the seal is broken, the ring is loose, or the two dates disagree, do not use it — photograph it and contact us.
No. We describe traditional use, taste, aroma and the comfort people have long sought from these preparations. We do not claim that any Laraib product treats, prevents or cures a disease, and you should be cautious of any herbal brand that does. If you need treatment, you need a clinician — not a syrup.
It is quarantined immediately and does not move to filling. Depending on what failed, the batch is either destroyed or, for a purely physical deviation such as an under-reduced syrup, corrected and re-tested in full from the beginning. A batch that fails a microbial or heavy-metal test is never re-worked, never blended into another run, and never sold.
