With Christmas season in full swing, there is an Irish company that we think you should know about.
NeutraPharma is a medical devices distributor, based in Cork, and it's one of the most significant pharmaceutical manufacturing hubs in Europe.
One of our lovely followers on Instagram brought a product of theirs to our attention, and so we’re passing on this important information; it’s called CYD (Check Your Drink).
It offers an easy-to-use, highly effective solution to detect the presence of widely used drink-spiking drugs in seconds.
CYD is a simple drink spike test that can quickly detect common drugs used in drink spiking.
These include:
Using CYD is easy, according to their website, and requires just a few seconds to determine if a drink is safe.
CYD’s reliability has been rigorously tested. Both the GHB and Ketamine tests were developed and verified by:
Further validation testing was recently carried out in June 2024 by Lucideon, UK, confirming the accuracy and effectiveness of CYD.
A 2018 report from the EMCDDA exposed the global rise in this crime, while more recent Irish studies underline its concerning impact, according to NeutraPharma:
The scale of the problem is also seen in figures showing a 9-fold increase in drink spiking incidents in Ireland between 2020 and 2022, according to data from the Minister for Justice.
CYD empowers people with a simple and effective way to protect themselves from the dangers of drink spiking.
It’s available in packs of 5 test strips, is compact, portable, and can easily fit into a pocket, purse, or bag.
CYD is available both online and in pharmacies across Europe, ensuring everyone can access this essential tool to safeguard their drinks.
