Bhubaneswar, June 2 -- A private hospital in the Capital City has started antibody cocktail therapy which is believed to provide the much needed succor to high risk Covid-19 patients.

According to sources, a 82-yer old man from Bhubaneswar with comorbidities was administered the antibody cocktail for the first time in the State.

The Central Drugs Standards Control Organisation (CDSCO) has approved the emergency use of the Covid monoclonal antibody cocktail last month. The treatment hit headlines after it was administered to former US President Donald Trump who was infected with Covid-19 last year.
