Ayush Ministry Strongly Condemns the Tirade Against AYUSH-64 by a Section of Media
‘It is Misinterpreting the Facts, Lacking the Understanding of the Matter’
A malicious campaign is being carried out by a section of media against Ayurveda in general and the ministry of Ayush in particular for the last couple of days, citing a small study which is in pre-print stage (not peer reviewed yet). The one-sided tirade is focused on AYUSH-64, a herbal formulation found effective in the management and treatment of COVID-19 based on many larger studies and a robust multi centered clinical trial.
The results of the said study clearly show that Ayush 64 is a safe drug with an equivalence in safety with the standard of care. Also, the pre-publication cites a larger study (Chopra A, Tillu G, Chuadhary K, Reddy G, Srivastava A, Lakdawala M, et al. Coadministration of AYUSH 64 as an adjunct to Standard of Care in mild and moderate COVID-19: A randomized, controlled, multicentric clinical trial.medRxiv2021.06.12.21258345.https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.06.12.21258345) which takes care of the lacunae of the pre-publication.
