The Senior Post Graduate Ayurvedic Doctors Association has stated that the so-called “cure for COVID19” developed by an individual named Dhammika Bandara was produced illegally and Ayurvedic doctors should not be held accountable if the drug causes adverse effects on the public.

The association has also stated that the producer of the medicine, a person who claims to be an indigenous doctor, is not registered with the Ayurveda Department.

The union questioned the process behind the manufacturing of the drug and its prescription for the public.

The Senior Postgraduate Ayurvedic Medical Officers' Association has stated that the concoction used for the so-called cure is not registered with the Yoga Code Committee at the Department of Ayurveda.

The President of the Ayuvedic Doctors’ Union, Dr. Chamal R. Mr. Kulathilake pointed out that such an unregistered drug couldn’t be accepted.

However, Dhammika Bandara, the person who produced the drug, continues to claim that this concoction has been used from the time of King Ravana — a king whose existence cannot be established with historical or archeological evidence.
