GUWAHATI: The Covid drug DRDO 2-DG will not be used in Assam on a mass scale but only on an experimental basis. The state is awaiting the first consignment of 1,000 packets of the medicine for emergency use.
“The new drug would be given with the written consent of the patients. They will be informed that it is an experimental medicine, a senior health official said.
Even as the state health department officials told TOI that the process to procure the consignment from Dr Reddy s Laboratories is on, they said the drug would be confined to medical college hospitals initially to measure its efficacy. Only based on the opinion of the practising doctors, the state health department will go for large scale procurement.
