Prescribe but don’t advertise immunity boosters: SC to Ayush docs

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asserted that qualified Ayush doctors and homeopaths can prescribe Government-approved tablets or mixtures as immunity boosters for treatment of Covid-19, however the Apex Court held that they cannot advertise anything as a cure for the pandemic.
Apex Court bench comprising Justices Ashok Bhushan, Subhash Reddy and MR Shah was hearing an appeal preferred by the Dr AKB Sadbhavana Mission School of Homeo Pharmacy against an order passed by the Kerala High Court on August 21 prohibiting AYUSH doctors from advertising or prescribing medicines as cure for COVID-19, except those specifically mentioned in the Centre`s advisory on March 6, 2020.
