TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Minister of state for the Union AYUSH ministry Shripad Naik on Wednesday said that his ministry will clear its stance on Patanjali’s newly-launched ayurvedic drugs ‘Coronil and Swasari’ for the novel coronavirus after reviewing the report sent by it. However, the minister said that it is good that Baba Ramdev has given a new medicine to the country.
“It is a good thing that Baba Ramdev has given a new medicine to the country but as per rule, it has to come to AYUSH ministry first. They even said that they have sent a report. We will look into it and permission will be given after seeing the report,” Naik said.
The AYUSH ministry had said on Tuesday that it has taken cognizance of news in the media about Ayurvedic medicines developed for the treatment of COVID-19 by Patanjali Ayurved Ltd, Haridwar and said the company has been asked to “stop advertising/publicising such claims till the issue is duly examined”. In a release, the ministry said that facts of the claim and details of the stated scientific study are not known to it.
