The government urged people not to take drugs other than the one prepared by Anandaiah. Officials also put out guidelines while procuring the drug saying that Covid‌ positive patients must not flock in Krishnapatnam for Anandaiah`s medicine.

In a major development, the Andhra Pradesh government gave the green signal to the much-demanded herbal medicine prepared by Bonigi Anandaiah in Krishnapatnam village in Nellore district on Monday.

The government said it was okay to distribute P, L and F categorised medicines given by Anandaiah and explained that the move was taken based on the preliminary study report submitted by the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS).

However, the state government has said no to eye drops that comes under category K as the reports on it are yet to be arrived while instances of chemical conjunctivitis too are increasing. The CCRAS report concluded that there was no harm in using the medicine. However, it also states that there is no evidence that the medicine can reduce the effects of Covid.

The final report on the drug would be submitted by CCRAS in another two weeks time. The government urged people not to take drugs other than the one prepared by Anandaiah. Officials also put out guidelines while procuring the drug saying that Covid‌ positive patients must not flock in Krishnapatnam for Anandaiah`s medicine. Instead, their relatives can come to collect the drug in their stead.

The medicine became a hot topic earlier this month after thousands began to throng the village seeking his medicine. The government then temporarily stopped the distribution to do a retrospective study on his medicines.
