History
[edit]Bytox Hangover Patch was first introduced in New York 2011 by Alex Fleyshmakher and Leonard Grossman.[3][4] Bytox word is a portmanteau of "bye" and "toxins".[1]
In 2012, Bytox was banned in the United Kingdom by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency due to no license.[5][6]
Bytox works in the same way as scopolamine does.[1] It is made using acai berries and extract of green tea.[7]
