And most people will agree to this. Be it fever, body ache or cold and cough, Indians rely on Dolo for all these flu-like symptoms. Even Doctors are seen prescribing this easily available medicine for COVID-positive patients.

With the third wave of the pandemic and even more people experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, sales of Dolo 650 shot up, suddenly. No, we are not claiming this, but Dunzo is.

Brands including Dabur, Zomato, Myntra, realme and Pharmeasy were seen advising social media users to stay away from self-prescribing Dolo and instead visit a doctor for any symptoms.
