The central government has banned the promotion of Patanjali's drug 'Coronil', launched with the claim to treat coronavirus patients. The government has decided to investigate the claims being made for this drug. The AYUSH Ministry has warned Patanjali that if it continues to advertise its drug with the claim of treatment of corona without solid scientific evidence, it would be considered a cognizable offense under the Drug and Remedies (Offensive Advertising) Act.
As soon as Baba Ramdev launched the medicine on Tuesday with the claim of treating corona patients in seven days, the Ayush ministry swung into action. After this, the Ministry immediately asked Patanjali to stop advertisements promoting the drug. The ministry made it clear that if the drug advertisement continues after this, legal action will be taken against it. A senior AYUSH ministry official said that Patanjali has not given any information about the development and trial of any such drug to the ministry.
He said that with the permission of the ministry, many Ayurvedic medicines are being tried for the treatment of corona, but they do not include the medicine of Patanjali. The senior official said that when the whole world is struggling to find a cure for corona and there is no way out. In such a situation, the claim of treatment with any medicine without scientific evidence can prove to be dangerous and crores of people can get caught in the trap of this misleading propaganda. That is why, with an immediate ban on advertisements promoting this drug, Patanjali has been asked to give details of the components used in coronil medicine as soon as possible.
After the launch of the medicine, Baba Ramdev's difficulty increased on Tuesday. Meanwhile, in Jaipur, a complaint has been registered against him at Gandhi Nagar police station. The complaint has been filed by Dr. Sanjeev Gupta of Jaipur. He says that Baba Ramdev is misleading people by claiming to make Corona's medicine.
