Direction issued considering emergency need for COVID-19 treatment, says official
The Haryana government has issued directions for restricted sale and distribution of experimental drugs such as Remdesivir and Tocilizumab, used to treat patients with severe COVID-19 infection, so as to stop irrational use. An official spokesperson of State’s Food and Drug Administration said that keeping in view the emergency and unmet medical need for COVID-19 disease, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has approved restricted emergency use of Remdesivir injectable formulations for treatment of patients with severe COVID-19 infection.More Related News
