BENGALURU: Ever since the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) released its guidelines for Covid-19 treatment in June, the protocol followed by both private and government hospitals has become simplified.
“For out-patients, monoclonal antibody therapy is used for the right kind of people. A good deal of doctors have walked away from most of the drugs. Remdesivir is given only when the patient has less oxygen and within nine days of the illness. Steroids are given only seven days after the onset of illness if oxygen levels drop below 93%.
