I have been seeing many Ayurvedic medicines, such as BGR 34 and Right Sugar, that claim approval from government agencies. Are these medicines really proven and safe, and can the government give licenses to private manufacturers?
Ayurvedic medicines like BGR 34 and Right Sugar may claim government approval, but this usually means they are licensed under AYUSH and not proven in the same way as modern medicines. Their effectiveness is often based on limited studies, so results can vary from person to person. The government can give licences to private manufacturers, but the approval process is less strict than for allopathic drugs. It is better to be cautious and not depend on these medicines alone for serious conditions like diabetes, and consult a doctor before use.
