Oh!

Perhaps NanoViricides EKC-Cide treatment would be better.

Someone should try it!!

Ref:
Phase II trials have begun for a novel compound called NVC-422 (Aganocide, NovaBay/Alcon) for the treatment of viral conjunctivitis. The drug is composed of proprietary analogs to the N-chlorinated molecules used by white blood cells to destroy viruses and bacteria.23 Additionally, a drug known as EkcCide (Nanoviricides) is currently in preclinical development and has shown efficacy in eliminating EKC symptoms in rabbits infected with adenovirus 5. EkcCide is part of a new class of drugs specifically designed to attack enveloped virus particles and dismantle them.24

Perhaps Alcon will be looking for a better treatment, then?

I note our present big pharma EKC deal is going to be finished shortly!
