Mahmoud pointed out that the material is sold to the public and private sectors, hospitals and the General Organization for Foreign Trade, with multiple volumes and capacities ranging from 1 liter to 10 liters, in addition to 250 ml and 100 ml bottles at a concentration of 95 percent.

He affirmed that during the period when the factory stopped, the medical alcohol was still available in the local market as there have been considerable amounts of the materials which had been produced previously.
