Nutriband receives Costa Rica MoH approval for Mosquito Repellent Patch

Nutriband has received approval from the Costa Rica Ministry of Health for the production and marketing of its Mosquito Repellent Patch, designed to reduce the risk of mosquito bites and associated health risks associated with exposure to mosquito bites. The Company intends to further expand distribution throughout South and Central America. The Nutriband Insect Repellent Patch contains simple natural ingredients which are used to mask human odors that are attractive to insects. Recommended wear sites include exposed areas of skin such as the neck, arms and legs. The active ingredient in the Nutriband Mosquito Repellent Patch is similar to what is used in mosquito patches that were approved in Africa based on extensive safety and efficacy testing with a goal to reduce the spread of malaria and HIV. Specific country approvals in Africa included Ghana, Nigeria and the Ivory Coast. Nutriband Inc.’s wholly owned contract manufacturing subsidiary, Pocono Pharmaceutical will act as exclusive manufacturer for the product.
