Rx3 Compounding Pharmacy is committed to keeping the community safe and informed as people navigate life during the coronavirus pandemic. As many return to work and possibly school in the near future, Rx3 has made it a mission to provide premier protective equipment to the community. As a result, Rx3 now carries the only reusable facemask that leverages the antimicrobial and odor-neutralizing technologies found in copper and hemp.
Leveraging the technology from their sister company Hemp Black, the Ananda Health introduces two innovative textile technologies into one product. The Fusion Face Mask combines the technologies of Cupron antimicrobial material and the odor neutralizing hemp black element yarn, both strategically integrated for maximum benefits. By using these specific technologies, this mask offers a solution to “mask fatigue” and slowing the spread of COVID-19.
Ananda Health’s Chief Science Officer and Medical Director, Dr. Alex Capano, stated: “With our patent pending Hemp Black Element Fibers on the inside of the mask and the golden oil, we are able to help the user have a more pleasant experience and also neutralize odor. The outside of the masks is infused with a material called Cupron, which won The Infection Control Product to Know Award just two years ago. It is registered with the EPA and the FDA as an infection control product. We know for certain that this is antimicrobial, and emerging research shows that Cupron is able to kill SARS-CoV-2 the virus that causes COVID-19.”
“Here at Rx3 Compounding Pharmacy,” Capano said. “We saw a need in the community for a sustainable and costeffective mask that could be used by everyone. While disposable and homemade masks help decrease the spread of COVID-19, they are not always practical, and the re-purchasing cost can add up depending on one’s lifestyle. Wearing a mask is very important to slowing the spread of the virus and we have noticed firsthand how much easier it is to wear a mask that fits properly and is breathable. We hope that by providing a mask that combats mask fatigue we encourage more people to wear masks and stay safe. We welcome anyone in the community – especially businesses who are curious about our hemp infused, antimicrobial, and odor neutralizing masks – to give them a call at (804) 717-5000.”
Chris Currin, he owner of the pharmacy said, “Our goal is to help those in our communities to live healthier, happier lives. That mission has not wavered with COVID-19, and we will strive to provide our customers with proper information and protection.”
