India's DCGI approves anti-COVID drug 2-DG developed by DRDO

[Suriya]

DRDO with Dr Reddy Labs has developed Anti-COVID medicine which can reduce dependence on Oxygen.

DCGI approves anti-COVID drug 2-DG developed by DRDO for emergency use. The drug comes in powder form in sachet, which is taken orally by dissolving it in water. It accumulates in virus infected cells and prevents virus growth by stopping viral synthesis and energy production.

DCGI has granted permission for emergency use of therapeutic application of drug 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) as adjunct therapy in moderate to severe COVID-19 patients...Being a generic molecule & analogue of glucose, it can be easily produced & made available in plenty

Did they have clinical trials or is it one of these DRDO self promotion scams?

Kudos to DRDO, although one can avoid contracting this seasonal flu by taking good diet, staying hydrated and doing some aerobic exercises. Let the people with other co morbid conditions become the victims of this scam.

PSU's are good, at least those run by independent directors. Take ONGC for example.

We have some of the largest pharma R & D centers in the world...

What do you think ?

If one can develop vaccines one can develop viruses as well.

It was decided ,when we went nuclear that we won't need biological or chemical weapons.

Good going DRDO, India will emerge stronger from this.
