Nepal has stopped the distribution of Patanjali’s Ayurveda-based Coronil tablets for treating Covid-19, The Hindu reported.
An order by the Department of Ayurveda and Alternative Medicines of Nepal said that “proper procedures were not followed” while procuring the 1,500 kits of Coronil.
It stated that the nasal kits and tablets are 'not equivalent to medicines to defeat Covid-19 virus', and went on to highlight the Indian Medical Association’s remarks questioning the efficacy of the drug.
Last month, Ramdev’s remarks against allopathy had triggered outrage amongst the doctors, who demanded action against Patanjali founder for a 'misinformation campaign'.
