"We didn't approve 'Dhammika syrup: I'd rather not talk about it" - Dr. Sudarshanie Fernandopulle

The State Minister of Primary Health Care, Epidemics, and COVID Disease Control said that she would rather not talk about the covid cure more commonly known as the 'Dhammika syrup'.

She said that any vaccine or cure introduced to combat COVID-19 must be properly tested by clinical trials and pointed out that failing to do so could create adverse effects.

While noting that this syrup was approved by the Department of Ayurveda, she insisted that the media refrain from asking questions about various Ayurvedic concoctions from her.

"We did not approve. It's too late to talk about this syrup now,”she said.

She added that it was due to cultural beliefs that people thought 'Kali Amma' could cure diseases and that although she did not want to discredit such claims, she would rather provide information based on medical science.
