1WARNING LETTER

6 paragraphs

November 17, 2025

RE: 716013

Hiren Gaglani:

This letter is to advise you that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed your website at https://navafresh.com/ in September 2025. The FDA has observed that your website offers “Dr. Patels Measles Tablets,” “Mans-Pachak Vati,” “Adel-54 Heart Care Drops,” “Ayuvardhak Sutta Yog,” “Parkikyor Tablets,” “Tri-Origin Ayurveda Diabetic Tablets,” “Ayuvision Herbal Eye Drop,” “Adel-17 Eye Care Drops,” “Haslab Mamira Eye Drops,” and “Rheumacare Capsules” (hereinafter Navafresh products) for sale in the United States. In addition, FDA has obtained a sample of your “Rheumacare Capsules” product. Based on our review, these products are unapproved new drugs under section 505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 355(a). As explained further below, introducing or delivering these products for introduction into interstate commerce violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a). Furthermore, your “Rheumacare Capsules” product is a misbranded drug under section 502 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352, and introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce in violation of section 301(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(a).

The results of the FDA laboratory testing of two lots of “Rheumacare Capsules” demonstrate that this drug product is adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B), because the presence of lead in the amounts identified by FDA raises significant safety concerns and demonstrates that the product has not been manufactured and processed in a manner that conforms to CGMP requirements.

Your Navafresh products are especially concerning from a public health perspective. As described below, the labeling of your unapproved “Dr. Patels Measles Tablets,” “Mans-Pachak Vati,” “Adel-54 Heart Care Drops,” “Ayuvardhak Sutta Yog,” “Parkikyor Tablets,” and “Tri-Origin Ayurveda Diabetic Tablets” drug products includes claims to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent serious and/or life-threatening conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and measles, and may cause consumers to forgo, delay, or discontinue medical treatments that have been found safe and effective for such conditions through the FDA review process. In addition, your unapproved “Ayuvision Herbal Eye Drop,” “Adel-17 Eye Care Drops,” and “Haslab Mamira Eye Drops” products are concerning because ophthalmic drug products, which are intended for administration into the eyes, in general pose a greater risk of harm to users because the route of administration for these products bypasses some of the body’s natural defenses.

2Unapproved New Drug and Misbranding Violations

1 paragraph

Based on a review of your website, your Navafresh products are drugs under section 201(g)(1) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1), because they are intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and/or intended to affect the structure or any function of the body. Examples from your product labeling, including on your website, that provide evidence of the intended use (as defined in 21 CFR 201.128) of these products as drugs include, but may not be limited to, the following:

From the product label:

“Rheumacare is the Combination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, analgesic and disease modifying drugs. Rheumacare is very effective to treat all type [sic] of arthritic conditions.”

So, Rheumacare is the drug of choice for Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis to reduce pain and swelling. Rheumacare is [sic] disease modifying agent, mainly for Rheumatoid arthritis. It is [sic] tonic for [sic] musculoskeletal system, improves [sic] joint movement and stability. Long term use of Rheumacare is safe and can prevent the bony deformities.”

Indication: Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Sciatica, Synovitis, Frozen shoulder, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Gout, Painfull [sic] nervine [sic] disorder etc.”

Your Navafresh products are “new drugs” under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(p), because they are not generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) for use under the above-described conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in their labeling. With certain exceptions not applicable here, a new drug may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved application from FDA in effect, as described in section 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(a). No approved applications pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, are in effect for these products. Accordingly, these products are unapproved new drugs. The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of these unapproved new drug products violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).

We recognize that your “Dr. Patels Measles Tablets,” “Adel-54 Heart Care Drops,” “Adel-17 Eye Care Drops,” and “Haslab Mamira Eye Drops” are labeled as homeopathic drugs. Under section 201(g)(1) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1), the term “drug” includes articles recognized in the official Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS), or any supplement to it. Homeopathic drug products are subject to the same statutory requirements as other drugs; nothing in the FD&C Act exempts homeopathic drugs from any of the requirements related to adulteration, misbranding, or FDA approval.

Furthermore, your “Rheumacare Capsules” product is misbranded under section 502(j) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(j), because it is dangerous to health when used in the dosage or manner recommended in the labeling. As described below, FDA testing found that the “Rheumacare Capsules” contain approximately 7,000 times the amount of lead otherwise indicative of harmful exposure. Lead is toxic to humans, and there is no known safe level of exposure to lead. Even low levels of lead exposure can cause serious health problems, as described below, particularly in children and fetuses.1

“Rheumacare Capsules” is also misbranded under section 502(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(a). Under section 502(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(a), a drug is misbranded if its labeling is false or misleading in any particular. Section 201(n) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(n), provides that, in determining whether an article’s labeling or advertising “is misleading there shall be taken into account . . . not only representations made or suggested . . . but also the extent to which the labeling or advertising fails to reveal facts material in light of such representations.” The labeling for your “Rheumacare Capsules” product does not declare that the product contains lead, which is a material fact with respect to consequences that may result from the use of this product. As discussed below, lead may pose health risks to consumers which are only compounded by the fact that the ingredient is not declared on the label. The failure to disclose this ingredient in the product labeling renders your “Rheumacare Capsules” product misbranded under section 502(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(a). The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of this misbranded drug product is a prohibited act under section 301(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(a).

13Adulteration Violations

3 paragraphs

FDA laboratory testing of “Rheumacare Capsules” lot CAM040 and lot CAL079-N found unsafe levels of lead contamination. The individual sample results varied between 9,588ppm and 11,124ppm. Based on a Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) of 5 μg/day, “Rheumacare Capsules” contain approximately 7,000 times the amount otherwise indicative of harmful exposure.2 Furthermore, preliminary results indicate concerning levels of other poisonous materials (e.g., mercury, strychnine, brucine, and arsenic). As a result of excessive lead content, your “Rheumacare Capsules” are adulterated under section 501(a)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B) because the presence of such substances in the amounts identified by FDA demonstrates that the product has not been manufactured and processed in a manner that conforms to CGMP requirements.

Because certain elemental impurities pose toxicological concerns and do not provide any therapeutic benefit to the patient, their levels in drug products should be controlled within acceptable limits. In general, FDA recommends that the manufacturer of any U.S. marketed drug product follow FDA’s Guidance for Industry Q3D(R2) Elemental Impurities3 recommendations to establish appropriate procedures for identifying and controlling elemental impurities in the drug product based on risk assessment and product-specific considerations.

Lead has no known biological function in humans, and exposure to lead may cause neurological, reproductive, developmental, immune, cardiovascular, and renal health effects. In general, sensitivity to lead toxicity is greater when there is exposure in utero and in children compared to adults.
