Dr K Ramesh Reddy, who is the Director of Medical Education, today said that SD Eye Hospital will chip in with medical services if eyes are affected in a patient.

As with drugs like Remdesivir, Liposomal Amphotericin B is said to be in short supply to treat Black Fungus. Even alternative medicines are not in good supply.

Judicious use of steroids, antibiotics and antifungals, and use of clean humidifiers has been advised for covid-19 patients.
