DCGI approves DRDO-developed anti-Covid oral drug, could reduce supplemental oxygen dependence
With the 35 years old Rs 400 crore medical syringes brand Dispovan and the Defence Research Development Organisation's (DRDO) Dipcovan - coronavirus antibody detection kit - sounding similar, Hindustan Syringes & Medical Devices Ltd will request the defence lab to have a different brand name, said a top company official.
"We will politely request DRDO to go in for a different name for the coronavirus antibody detection kit as the brand name Dipcovan sounds very similar to that of our 35 years old medical syringe brand Dispovan," Rajiv Nath, Managing Director, Hindustan Syringes, told IANS.
