controversy in the Netherlands. For 8 € you can buy a “Virus Inhibitor” from Kruidvat, by which this means a “virus inhibitor”. If the product is not sold in the Belgian stores of the brand, there is a lot of talk about it. Marc Van Ranst also expressed himself on this topic on social media.
For the virologist, “smart people don’t buy this stuff”. He grumbles on Twitter: “It doesn’t work. Too bad that something like this can remain on the market “.
Marc Van Ranst adds that “in Belgium, a ‘STOP VIRUS’ nasal spray is sold through Kruidvat, but also through various pharmaceutical sites. This spray would eliminate 99.99% of viruses. This too is total nonsense. I would never recommend using it ”.
For their part, Kruidvat indicates that it is a “class III medical device”. “This is a legally approved product by independent bodies. For the moment, we see no reason to withdraw the product from the market, “said a spokesperson for the brand.
