Ashok Kumar Panda

Ayush 82 is formulated and clinically proven by Central Council Research in Ayurveda Sciences, M/o of AYUSH, GOI for diabetic care. Recently Right Sugar (Chaturbhuj Pharmaceutical), IME-9 (Kudos Ayurveda) and BGR-34 (AIMIL Pharmaceutical) have drawn the attention of many diabetic consumers as these products are developed from scientific organizations of government and highlighted in electronic and print media. IME-9 (Kudos Ayurveda) developed from Ayush 82 of Central Council Research in Ayurveda Sciences, M/o of AYUSH, GOI. Most of the patients consuming IME-9 attend Ayurvedic hospitals and clinics for evaluation of their blood sugar level to know the efficacy of the drug and for consultation. Therefore, an initiative was taken to analyze the safety and efficacy of IME-9 in newly diagnosed diabetic patients taking an IME-9 tablet or have a primary prescription of the same. IME-9 was able to reduce (96%) the blood glucose of all newly diagnosed cases, whereas glycosylated haemoglobin level was reduced in all newly diagnosed cases except in one. Total 12 (48%) patients have shown the improvement of blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (up to 7). It is also observed that in three cases blood glucose level was increased after 2 weeks of treatment and significant reduction of blood glucose was found after the 8th week. So IME-9 may be the first line choice of herbal treatment of newly diagnosed cases along with a change in lifestyle.
