Use 'Covid management' in place of 'Covid treatment': Union ministry to Ramdev's drug

New Delhi: Yoga guru Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved on Wednesday said there are no AYUSH Ministry restrictions on selling Coronil, a drug the company recently launched as a medicine for Covid-19 but is now calling it a product to “manage” the disease.

The Union ministry confirmed that Patanjali can sell the product but not as a cure for Covid-19.

“I want to tell people who want to try these medicines that there is no restriction on their sale now and they will be available in a kit everywhere in the country from today," he added, referring to Coronil.

It said the AYUSH Ministry has agreed that Patanjali had appropriately worked on Covid-19 management.
