The fine print on the box advises to consult doctor before using this medicine. No Allopathic doctor is prepared to advise on this medicine. I suggest, if someone has benefitted from its use, may please share your experiences. more

Nowadays there is another medicine called IME-9 stated to be made by scientists associated with Min of AYUSH. It is being marketed by a TV marketing company called KUDOS and is broadcasted on many TV channels which sell different things. I checked with my Ayurveda vaidya. He cautioned me. I have also written to the Min. of AYUSH but they have yet not responded. (Online request made on 17th August - AYUSH/E/2016/00277) Would anybody be able to help about IME-9 and also about BGR-34 and whether they are the same? more

Quite promising news. Can anyone guide me where can I get this drug in Delhi. I am a diabetic since 2009 and am spending a whopping sum of Rs. 100 per day on my medicine bill. It will definitely reduce my burden by Rs. 2500 per month. It is a big saving for a retired person like me who has only pension as his income source. more

Good News. But, the doctors, who have been hand in glove with big multi-national companies, will do their best to resist sale of this wonderful cheap drug. Who will sponsor their foreign visits and gifts? more
