NEW DELHI: Yoga guru Ramdev‘s Patanjali on Tuesday launched what he claimed was the “first ayurvedic medicine” to cure coronavirus disease even as the scientific community the world over struggles to develop an effective cure for the highly contagious disease.
However, the Centre has asked Patanjali to stop advertising the anti-Covid drug and has sought details about it from the company to verify the claims.
Here is what Patanjali has claimed about the medicine:
Patanjali claimed ‘Coronil‘ and ‘Swasari’ had shown 100 per cent favourable results during clinical trials on affected patients, at Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar.
Launching the medicines in Haridwar, Ramdev claimed “100 per cent recovery rate in 7 days”. This is not an immunity booster but a coronavirus cure, Ramdev said.
The Corona kit will be made available at Rs 545, said Acharya Balkrishna, the MD of Patanjali Ayurved. The corona kit will have medicines for 30 days.
