The Maharashtra government on Tuesday, 23 February, said it will not allow the sale of Coronil, an "anti-COVID" medicine manufactured by Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurveda.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi government has pointed out that the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has questioned the trials of Coronil, while the World Health Organisation (WHO) has refuted Patanajali Ayurveda's claims.
Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said that doubts have been raised on the ‘clinical trials’ of Coronil and also regarding false claims on its efficacy for COVID-19 treatment.
