Lawyer Shasha Jain posted a copy of the legal notice she sent to Patanjali, urging the company to address the allegations of using non-vegetarian ingredients within a 15-day period. In a separate incident, the Ayurvedic and Unani Services authorities in Uttarakhand initially ordered Patanjali’s Divya Pharmacy to cease the production of five drugs in November of the previous year, but this decision was subsequently reversed.
Divya Pharmacy faced action after Dr. K.V. Babu, an ophthalmologist from Kerala, filed a complaint. Dr. Babu raised concerns about an advertisement by the company, which falsely claimed that their eye drops could treat conditions like glaucoma, cataract, and other eye ailments. He stressed the potential danger to human life posed by such misleading advertisements, as untreated eye problems can potentially result in blindness.
