Altamira Therapeutics Secures Marketing & Distribution Agreements To Expand Sales Channels of Bentrio into Egypt and Pakistan

Two Additional Distributors Further Expand Company's Growing Global Footprint To Offer Its Bentrio Nasal Spray for Protection Against Airborne Allergens and Viruses

HAMILTON, BERMUDA / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2022 / Altamira Therapeutics Ltd. ("the Company") (NASDAQ:CYTO), a company dedicated to developing therapeutics that address important unmet medical needs, today announced that it has entered into marketing and distribution agreements in Pakistan and Egypt (the "Agreements") for Bentrio™, its nasal spray for protection against airborne viruses and allergens.

In Pakistan, Altamira has appointed Lahore-based deKhon Global (Pvt) Limited ("deKhon") to market and distribute Bentrio. Pakistan provides access to the world's fifth largest population of 242 million people with the second highest gross domestic product in South Asia.

In Egypt, the Company has appointed Cairo-based Vie Pharma to market and distribute Bentrio to the Egyptian market, which has over 106 million people, and is the third most populous country in Africa, being the Continent's second-largest GDP.

Together, the two distributors further expand Bentrio's global footprint by adding two large and growing countries to a distribution network that currently consists of major markets in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

"Unlike prescription medicines, the marketing and distribution of an over-the-counter medical product requires deep insight into the consumer culture of the target country as well as its regulatory landscape," said Thomas Meyer, Altamira Therapeutics' founder, Chairman and CEO. "Both deKhon and Vie Pharma know their domestic marketplace intimately and have successful track records. Both countries are large, experiencing outsized economic growth, and are outstanding complements to our Bentrio distribution market portfolio."

About Bentrio

Bentrio is a drug-free nasal spray for personal protection against airborne viruses and allergens. Upon application into the nose, Bentrio forms a protective gel layer on the nasal mucosa. This thin film is designed to prevent the contact of viruses or allergens with cells; in addition, the composition serves to bind such particles and help with their discharge and to humidify the nasal mucosa. Together, this is designed to reduce the risk of upper respiratory tract viral infections and promote alleviation of allergic symptoms.
