Scientists from a pharmaceutical laboratory in Cuba have demonstrated a new and highly-effective medical product made from banana peel, Cuba's Prensa Latina news agency reported.

The medical products "stirred up interest and admiration among Vietnamese scientists and researchers", the report said.
After a meticulous process comprising laboratory study, tests of medicinal properties and health registration strictly according to international regulations, the products have been launched in the market, Rodriguez said.
A medicine named "Asmacan" is a bronchodilator and expectorant, and is very effective for asthma patients. This has been seen among patients in Cuba, the scientists said.
Another medicine "Nutrisol" is a nutritional, restorative supplement used in the treatment of anemia, anorexia and convalescence.
Other medicines to treat specific types of anemia are "Ferrical" and "Acitan". They provide a missing dietetic-fiber supplement, encourage more healthy processes, and are effective protectors of the gastric mucus.
