The AYUSH ministry on Tuesday asked yoga guru Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved to provide “at the earliest” details of composition and research undertaken prior to the launch of the medicines it claimed are for the treatment of COVID-19, and advised the firm to stop advertising them until the “issue” is examined.
Ramdev’s herbal medicine company Patanjali Ayurved has launched ‘Coronil tablet and Swasari vati’ medicines claiming they can cure the highly contagious disease within seven days.
It has also claimed that the two Ayurveda-based medicines have shown 100 per cent favourable results during clinical trials on COVID-19 infected patients except those on a life support system.
However, the AYUSH ministry said that the facts of the claim and details of the stated scientific study are not known to it.
