Free Distribution of AYUSH-64 at 7 Delhi locations from Monday

It may be noted AYUSH-64 is a polyherbal formulation that has been found useful in the treatment of asymptomatic, mild, and moderate COVID-19 infection

As a token of its commitment to serve the out-of-hospital COVID patients, the Ministry of Ayush has started free distribution of AYUSH-64 at many locations in Delhi since last Saturday. From Monday onwards, many more centers will become operational. Those COVID-19 patients who are in home isolation or are staying at some government/NGO arranged isolation centers can benefit from this initiative of the Ministry of Ayush.

Patients or their representatives can visit these centers with the hard or soft copies of the patient’s RT PCR positive report and Aadhar Card to get a free pack of AYUSH-64 tablets. Replenishment, if and when required, will also be provided free of cost.

It may be noted AYUSH 64 is a polyherbal formulation that has been found useful in the treatment of asymptomatic, mild, and moderate COVID-19 infection. AYUSH-64 is recommended in National Clinical Management Protocol based on Ayurveda and Yoga which is vetted by the National Task Force on COVID Management of ICMR and Guidelines for Ayurveda Practitioners for COVID-19 Patients in Home Isolation. It has been repurposed as an add-on to standard care for COVID-19 patients after a robust multi-center clinical trial which was monitored by the Ministry of AYUSH-CSIR Joint Monitoring Committee for clinical trial under the chairmanship of Dr. V M Katoch, former DG, ICMR.
