The pill, which is made by Swedish company De Faire Medical, does not yet have a date to hit store shelves in the country. But it will soon be a solution for those who want to get rid of the next day’s ailments caused by the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Since launching global marketing two months ago, Myrkl is now available for shipping to 18 countries via the official website. Consumers from countries like Australia, New Zealand, Germany and France can already guarantee the pill, a list that will count on Brazil until the end of November.
The box of 30 units was sold for £30 in the UK, which is around R$180 at this Tuesday’s retail price, not counting postage. Myrkl assures that the pill works for up to 12 hours but needs at least two hours before the first glass be drunk with alcoholic beverages.
In a clinical study, blood alcohol levels were reduced by up to 50% after 30 minutes and by up to 70% after 60 minutes in subjects who took the pill, compared to those who did not. The findings were summarized in a study published in the journal Nutrition and Metabolic Insights.

Myrkl promises to break down alcohol in the gut before it reaches the liver, thereby reducing the substance’s metabolism and the amount in the bloodstream. It would also reduce the effects of drinking on the brain characteristic of intoxication, so it is not suitable for those who want to drink in search of the sensations caused by alcohol.
It is worth noting that the pill is not a medicine but a dietary supplement as it has not been approved by the UK Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Agency (Mhra).
The pill was even tested in a study published in June in the journal Nutrition and Metabolic Insights, which included 24 participants. They took two pills between one and 12 hours before consuming two shots of distillate. A 70% reduction in blood alcohol levels was observed one hour after drinking, compared to another group that did not receive the supplement.
