New Delhi: In a bid to tackle mis-information on social media regarding the Covid therapy drug ‘2DG’, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Tuesday tweeted the usage of the drug and again advised people on who all can be its users. “Doctors can prescribe the drug as early as possible for moderate to severe Covid patients for maximum duration of 10 days. The impact of the drug on patients with uncontrolled diabetes, severe cardiac problem, severe hepatic and renal impairment has not been studied yet, hence caution should be exercised,” the DRDO said in tweet.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
