"Company's target is to primarily facilitate co-development of Nasal sprays and Pocket Inhaler that are safe and effective ancillaries for both COVID-19 prophylaxis and therapy," Dr Gaurav Raj Chhabra, Founder, LaBelforte, India.

"Our immediate attention is on host-directed therapeutic options, that safely and efficiently optimize mucosal and barrier immunity by potentiating body's own immune system through Immunogenic gene expression," says, Chhabra, who has been scrutinizing the international developments in the category for over 18 months now.
