5I understand that Anvirzel is an aqueous extract of the plant Nerium oleander. Anvirzel is not licensed for use in Ireland or the EU. The Irish Medicines Board and my Department hold no information on its use in the treatment of cancer and are not in a position to provide information on the locations where the drug Anvirzel is available. Patients with concerns or questions about cancer treatment should discuss these with their medical practitioner.
