Mumbai: Days after Yoga guru and Patanjali founder Baba Ramdev released a scientific research paper prepared by the Patanjali Research Institute on the “first evidence-based ayurvedic medicine” against coronavirus named Coronil, which was endorsed by several Union Ministers, Maharashtra government on Tuesday said that it will not allow the sale of Coronavirus vaccine in the state.

Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) 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.
Speaking about the same, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said that the doubts have been raised on the ‘clinical trials’ of Coronil and also regarding false claims on its efficacy for Covid-19 treatment.
“Launching such a drug hurriedly and being endorsed by two senior Central ministers is highly deplorable. Sale of Coronil without proper certification from competent health organisations like WHO, IMA and others will not be permitted in Maharashtra,” news agency IANS quoted the minister as saying.

Patanjali Ayurveda had launched what it claimed to be India’s first Ayurvedic medicines ‘Coronil’ and ‘Swasari’ to treat coronavirus in June 2020.
Patanjali followed it up with the launch of Coronil and a scientific research paper in the presence of Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan and Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on February 19.
