COVID patients when given at the appropriate time
Monoclonal antibodies, a single-shot drug cocktail given to former US President Donald Trump against COVID, is gaining popularity in Pune city as doctors and patients vouch for its effectiveness in preventing coronavirus deaths.
Several private hospitals and even government hospitals in the city who have administered this drug to their patients claim to have shown remarkable recovery. However, doctors informed that not all patients are fit for the therapy.
