DRDO issues directions for use of 2-DG for Covid patients

The DRDO has said that its anti-Covid drug 2-deoxy-D-Gluclose or 2 DG can be given to patients under the care and prescription of doctors as it issued directions for its use. "Ideally, 2DG should be prescribed as early as possible by doctors for moderate to severe COVID patients for a maximum duration of up to 10 days," DRDO said on Tuesday. Patients of uncontrolled diabetes, severe cardiac problem, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), severe hepatic and renal impairment have not been studied yet with 2-DG, and hence caution should be exercised, DRDO said. It added that 2-DG should not be given to pregnant and lactating women and patients below 18 years. "Patients and attendants are advised to request the hospital to contact Dr Reddy's lab Hyderabad for medicine supply at email: 2DG@drreddys.com," the organisation said in a tweet.
