Hi doctor. What is your opinion of Patanjali medicines? A doctor at the Patanjali clinic prescribed Medha and Medha Vati twice daily for migraines for 6 weeks and shadbindu oil drops for nasal use.
I am unsure if I should take the medicines since there was some controversy about Patanjali a few years back . Also, the pricing is low compared to that makes me sceptical. I have never have had the need to take Ayurvedic medicines so am a bit confused about which doctor to visit and the reputed brands.
Some of the Patanjali products, including Medha Vati are very good. Do not believe in propaganda.
All pharma companies have some products that work very good and some products that do not work well.
It is usegul for mirgi…??thaking to breathe problem
Yes, useful.
