Dehradun: Production of five medicines of Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev's company Divya Pharmacy has been banned in Uttarakhand. This action has been taken after the company was accused of issuing 'misleading advertisement'.
The Uttarakhand Authorities of Ayurvedic and Unani Services has asked Divya Pharmacy, which makes Patanjali products, to stop production of five medicines. Along with this, the company has also been asked to withdraw the advertisements of these five products from the media.

These drugs are used to control diabetes, eye infections, thyroid, blood pressure and cholesterol.
The official said that in future also Divya Pharmacy will have to take approval from the Ayurveda and Unani Licensing Authority for issuing advertisements. If the advertisements continue without approval, the pharmacy will be booked under the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisement) Act and Rule 170 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act.
