April 30, 2024: The Uttarakhand Government has suspended the manufacturing licenses of 14 products made by Patanjali's Divya Pharmacy for repeatedly publishing misleading advertisements about their efficacy.
Those products which have been suspended are: Swasari Gold, Swasari Vati, Bronchom, Swasari Pravahi, Swasari Avaleha, Mukta Vati Extra Power, Lipidom, BP Grit, Madhugrit and Madhunashini Vati Extra Power, 'Livamrit Advance', 'Livogrit', 'Eyegrit Gold' and 'Patanjali Drishti Eye Drop'.
As per sources, the action by the Uttarakhand Government comes days after Baba Ramdev and his associate Acharya Balkrishna issued an apology in newspapers after the Supreme Court's tongue-lashing.
The drug licensing authority suspended the licences of the products by the firm due to violations of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act and the Drugs and Cosmetic Act.
