Viola Vitalis, a Bangladeshi company, has developed Arsenicure, an ointment for treatment of external symptoms, and Ars-detox, a capsule formulation to neutralise the accumulated arsenic inside the body, reports UNB.

The founder of Viola Vitalis, young Scientist Dr Abdul Kader made the announcement at a press conference held at the National Press Club Friday.

Bangladesh Academy of Sciences and Viola Vitalis jointly organised the press conference.

Addressing the press conference, Dr Abdul Kader said there were certain specific problems, which have been only encountered in developing countries but not experienced in the developed countries. In the developing countries, marginal people were mostly the victims of Arsenocosis.

Dr Kader said Viola Vitalis and Allium Vitals had developed an innovative system, which had been found to be effective in addressing the arsenicosis problems.
