Relief for asthma, allergy sufferers

Chain Drug Review, Sept 25, 2006

WATERFORD, Ireland -- Drontek Ltd. has launched the Dust Mite controller.

Executives say the product is a breakthrough for asthma and allergy sufferers.

The product is available in drug stores throughout Ireland and will soon be introduced in the United States.

Dust mite allergens are a major factor in asthma. It is estimated that one in five people suffer in some way because of dust mites.

The Dust Mite Controller is an easy-to-use, plug-in device that makes the room a hostile environment for the dust mite, affecting its feeding and reproductive cycles.

The product has been clinically proven to work by the University of Milan of Italy, with their findings presented to the Asthma Society of Ireland.

For the past 20 years the focus has been on treating the symptoms of asthma instead of the cause, says Keith Anthony, Drontek's director of sales.

"We are honored to be the first in the world to develop such a breakthrough product with such positive results," comments Anthony.
