VIROGONE™ even if it has a sensative skin?
Virogone™ is a mild formulation that is gentle on the skin. However,
if any irritation/rashes develops, stop application immediately
and rinse off with water.

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.

12. Can I use VIROGONE™
when my pet is having an internal injury?
Virogone™ will not penetrate the skin, thus it will not have an
effect on the internal injury. If in doubt, please consult
your Vet.

13. What is the triclosan
ingredient labeled on the VIROGONE™ bottle for?
Triclosan is a broad-spectrum anti-microbial agent that acts against
a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, moulds
and yeasts. Thus it can be used as an antiseptic or disinfectant.
As a result of this microcidal activity, it has found increasing
and recent popular use in personal care products such as toothpaste,
deodorant soaps, deodorants, antiperspirants and body washes, detergents,
dish washing liquids, cosmetics and anti-microbial creams, lotions
and hand soaps.

14. What is the amino acid ingredient
for?
Amino acids are the basic building blocks for proteins. The amino
acid in Virogone™ has a skin moisturizing
action and belongs to the natural moisturizing factors of the skin.
It is also required for the synthesis of skin collagen, supports
wound healing and the conditioning of hair.

or essential oil?

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.

help to prevent hair loss or minimise shedding of fur?
Virogone™ moisturizes the skin and conditions

stain or discolour the fur coat of my pet or the furniture at home?

accumulate on pet’s fur or furniture. Therefore it does not
stain or discolour the fur coat of your pet or the furniture at
home.
back to top
20. Can VIROGONE™
eliminate non-enveloped virus?
Non-enveloped viruses can only be eliminated by harsher chemicals
such as formaldehyde. This chemical, used in embalming of bodies,
causes skin irritation and is a health hazard to your pets. Please
consult a vet if your pet is infected by a non-enveloped virus.
back to top
21. Can VIROGONE™
help to solve skin or dermatitis problem on my pet?
Skin problems in pets are caused by attacks by fleas and ticks.

and anti-inflammatory skin repair properties. However, if your pet
