Three pills to be given to students three times in gap of 21 days
The State government has begun distribution of Arsenicum Album 30C tablets among schoolchildren despite stiff opposition from practitioners of modern medicine, including the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and the Indian Academy of Paediatrics (IAP).
It was Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who opened the State-level launch of the three-day ‘Karuthalode Munnottu’ campaign on Monday. The tablets are being given between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Mr. Vijayan said that the effort would be to ensure immunity among children using the “effective immunity in homeo medicines”.
A helpline has also been launched to clear doubts and homeo medical officers can be approached to allay fears, the Chief Minister said. Three pills are proposed to be given to the children three times in a gap of 21 days.
