LAGUNDI started out as a simple folk remedy for cough and other
illnesses. Filipino mothers would boil freshly-picked green leaves and
strain them to produce an herbal tea, which is then given to an ailing
member of the family. Through the years, its effectiveness was proven
through intensive studies in modern medicine led by the Department of
Science and Technology (DOST).
Recognizing the efficacy of lagundi as a natural remedy for cough and
asthma, Pascual Laboratories (PascualLab), in collaboration with the
National Integrated Research Program of Medicinal Plants (NIRPROMP)
introduced ASCOF Lagundi as the first herbal medicine in the country in
1996. Licensed by the Philippine Council for Health Research and
Development (PCHRD) and DOST, ASCOF is currently the most successful
phytomedicine (or plant-based therapeutic product) in the Philippines.
The initial production of ASCOF that began over a decade ago was done
through a technology transfer from the DOST and NIRPROMP. This made it
possible for PascualLab to manufacture quality medicine from organic
lagundi leaves.
Today, PascualLab takes quality care to the next level by developing
more advanced production technologies for ASCOF. Its Herbal R&D and
Product & Process Development team collaborates with independent medical
and research institutions and consultants both here and abroad, to
continuously improve its products. PascualLab is committed to intensify
its researches on lagundi, and is set to launch new product innovations
within the year.
PascualLab is the only local pharmaceutical company in the country today
with an advanced herbal research facility that is tasked to study and
develop technology for phytomedicines, thereby opening up a world of
possibilities in the future of healthcare. "With our second-generation
technology, our production process is more efficient and more
standardized, ensuring that ASCOF's phytoactive contents are consistent
in every batch that is produced.
