11. How different is VIROGONE™ compared to neem oil and essential oils that also claim to repel ticks and fleas?
Neem oil has been showed to be up to 90% effective in fighting insects. However, the main ingredient, azadirachitin, degrades rapidly in light, excessive heat or alkalinity (Online Journal of Veterinary Research Vol. 4(3), 133 –138, 2000)

Essential Oils have to be used with caution as they can burn the skin and harm the eyes. These oils can be detrimental to cats when applied topically because the cat has very thin and sensitive skin, thus absorbing the essential oils very quickly. Essential oils repel ticks and fleas effectively only for a short period of time, usually less than 30 mins.

Virogone contains 3-N Butylacetoamine Propionate that has a long-lasting repellent action for at least 4 hours, and it has high chemical stability i.e. no tendency to hydrolyse, oxidize, photo-oxidise and high thermal stability.

17. How does VIROGONE kill microorganisms?
Virogone contains Antibac 2K® and Triclosan, which have anti-microbial properties and work synergistically.

Antibac 2K® eliminates more than 99.999% of the following bacteria and fungi in 5 mins:
• Legionella pneumophila
• Escherichia coli
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Salmonella typhimurium
• Shingella flexineri
• Aspergillus niger
• Candida albicans

Antibac 2K® also eliminates enveloped viruses e.g. Herpes simplex virus, corona virus.

Antibac 2K® kills these microorganisms by surrounding the membrane of the bacterial cell or enveloped virus, interrupting their food supply chain and thus starving the microorganism.

Triclosan, besides eliminating the above-mentioned bacteria and fungi, also acts on other gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (including various antibiotic resistant strains), yeast and mould species.

Triclosan kills these microorganisms by causing the disorganization of the cytoplasmic membrane and the leakage of low molecular weight cellular components.
