The medicine comes as a roll-on bottle with 10ml as the quantity. The silver colloid based liquid that has can be used for both prophylaxis and treatment of Covid-19 and Black Fungus. According to the lab, the bottle can help protect from the virus for a minimum of 3 hours.

Management consultant Venu Sharma said, We have already made arrangements for production and in need of an investment partner for scaling up. We want this product series to be reaching the globe ASAP. Covid will stay with us for more time with different forms and maybe in new virus variants.

Developed by Nuthan Labs in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, the product has received a nod from the Ayush Department of Karnataka, while it is still awaiting a nod from the central department.

Speaking about the costing of the product, Venu Sharma said, "for a small minimum quantity, the costing becomes high, with an 18% GST and distribution model in hand the MRP will be near Rs.300-350/- as of now. But by mass production and better cost of a fund - CoviRaksha will be 20 to 30% cheaper."
