Dehradun (Uttarakhand): Under flak over the launch of a drug it claims to be a cure for COVID-19, yoga guru Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved on Thursday insisted that it broke no law.
"There is no room for confusion," the herbal products company said in a tweet. The licence for the drug was obtained on the basis of the traditional knowledge and experience related to the medicinal virtues of Ashwagandha, Giloy and Tulsi," Patanjali spokesperson S K Tijarawala said.
He further added that the positive results of the clinical trials conducted legally on corona patients were shared.
In another tweet, the company said no illegal claim has been made on the label of the medicine.
"Manufacture and sale of medicine is carried out as per the rules laid down by the government and not in accordance with someone's personal belief or ideology," it said.
"Patanjali has complied with all legalities," it said asking people to refrain from unnecessary commentary on the issue.
The Haridwar-based company on Tuesday launched Coronil, claiming it can cure COVID-19.
The company said that the drug, when taken with another Patanjali product, had cured all coronavirus positive patients who took part in a trial within seven days.
