10,000 doses of 2-DG by DRDO is Released today in the market !
Hopefully, Mass-scale production i.e ramping up will start soon at Hyderabad & likely at other centers!
For next set of production, they will tie-up with Dr. Reddy's labs to go for mass production.
The principle of operation is simple: "Cheat the Cheater"! You know that any virus, once inside the body, makes its own copies by cheating our human cells & takes their protein to multiply itself!
The brilliant thought process by Indian scientists was simple! For every doubling of virus cell, it needs energy (glucose!).
So, the medicine is simply a " Pseudo" Glucose which the multiplying virus intakes but actually, this glucose makes it neutral( unable to multiply!)
Thus 'Cheating the cheater' once the rapid multiplication of virus is halted, our own anti bodies can readily combat it and overpower within hours! Simply Genius!
Be proud of Indian scientists!
