Mankind Pharma, ranked as the fourth largest pharmaceutical company in the country, has responded to objections raised by a retail chemists association regarding its advertisement for the vitamin supplement, HealthOK. The All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD) had requested the withdrawal of the advertisement, alleging that it implies non-vegetarians are healthier due to its portrayal of actor Ranveer Singh. In a letter dated February 13th, Mankind Pharma addressed the concerns raised by the AIOCD.
