He said that, in this regard, he filed a complaint on July 12 with the Uttarakhand State Licensing Authority (SLA). “Based on my complaint, the SLA directed the Drug Inspector of Haridwar on July 15 to initiate action. While some of the earlier advertisements on Twitter were deleted, a few more are still in the public domain in direct violation of the assurance given to SC,” Babu said.
Babu said he had again complained to the SLA on July 18. However, the offending advertisement on Drishti Eye Drop, which claims to be safe to use ayurvedic medicine that is effective for any eye problem, along with Ramdev’s video promoting the medicine, is still on X.
The claim made by Patanjali Ayurved’s official handle further says that the medicine is “helping in treating glaucoma or cataract, double vision, colour vision, retinitis pigmentosa and night blindness.”
Babu, who is an ophthalmologist, said that not giving proper eye drops for treatable conditions can lead to blindness, and many doctors have advised against using Patanjali’s eye drops on several occasions.
