Patanjali asked to remove misleading advertisements on Ayurvedic products - Video

A series of five advertisements made by the Patanjali Ayurveda claiming to treat blood pressure, diabetes, goitre, high lipid levels, and glaucoma have come under scrutiny by the State Licensing Authority (SLA), Ayurveda, and Unani Services, Uttarakhand, as well as the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA).

On September 7, the SLA asked Divya Pharmacy, the marketing arm of Patanjali Ayurveda, to remove the misleading advertisements from the media and was directed to submit an explanation within one week.

The CCPA, on September 22, observed that the issue affects public health and the advertisements are in violation of Sections 3 (d) and 106 (1) of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954, and Schedule J of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945. The complaint has also been submitted to the Union Ministry of AYUSH for further action.
