- 3 years ago
Nepal on Monday stopped the distribution of Coronil kits, gifted by yoga guru Ramdev’s Patanjali Group, citing lack of proof of being effective in dealing with the Covid-19 virus.
According to reports, Nepal’s Department of Ayurveda and Alternative Medicines in an order said the proper procedure was not followed while procuring the 1,500 kits of Coronil that Patanjali claims are useful in dealing with Covid-19 infection.
The latest order of the Government of Nepal reads, “Tablets and nasal oil that are part of the Coronil kit are not equivalent to medicines to defeat Covid-19 virus.” However, the health ministry clarified that there is no formal ban on Patanjali products.
