The Ministry of Ayush has recognized Coronil Tablet as medicine for "supporting the measure in COVID-19."
Earlier on June 23, 2020, Ramdev's Patanjali had launched the coronal tablet with the joint efforts of Professor Balbir Singh Tomar and Acharya Balkrishna.
At the time Acharya Balkrishna said the company would share the results of clinical trials soon, and that the patients treated by the said medicine had tested negative.
Later, the Ayush Ministry had indicated it as "Immuno-booster" only.
Patanjali faced a lot of criticism and later gave clarification on the medicine claiming cure to Covid-19 saying that it never said to have made any such medicine.
Giving clarification on the notice issued by the Uttarakhand Drug department, Patanjali also denied making any medicine called 'Corona kit'.
Coronil is developed by Patanjali Research Institute. It had started work for an Ayurvedic remedy for COVID-19 in January 2020.
