Lufenuron is used to fight fungal infections, since fungus cell walls are about one third chitin. Lufenuron is the active ingredient in the veterinary flea control medication Program. FDA approved this drug for use in dogs and cats. Available by prescription. Once the female flea ingests blood from a pet treated with lufenuron, 96% of egg development from fleas on cats and 99% of egg development from fleas on dogs is stopped. This helps prevent a continual flea problem. Lufenuron does not kill the adult flea and does not stop the flea from biting and causing flea allergy dermatitis. The drug is stored in the body fat and released into the bloodstream over the course of a month. Flea eggs laid prior to treating the pet may take several months to hatch; Program will not be effective until these fleas start to lay eggs. Therefore it may take several months to see the product's effectiveness. If quicker results are needed, use a product which will kill adult fleas; these will provide quicker relief for the pet. Cats require a higher dose per pound than dogs. After the cat injectable form is administered, 2-3 weeks are needed to reach therapeutic levels in the blood. The injectable form for cats is effective for 6 months.

MYRISTYL LACTATE is an inactive component of EIGHT HOUR CREAM LIP PROTECTANT (petrolatum stick), which is used to protect lips from the drying effects of wind and cold weather. Sunscreen ingredients (SPF 15) guard against the damaging effects of sun exposure.

Imidocarb is a carbanilide derivative with antiprotozoal activity. It is usually administered as the dipropionate salt. Imidocarb is a drug sold under the brand name Imizol and is used to treat canine ehrlichiosis. wo mechanisms of action have been proposed: As the effect of imidocarb on Trypanosoma brucei is antagonized by excess polyamines, it is has been suggested that imidocarb interferes with their production and/or use. Imidocarb blocks the entry of inositol into erythrocytes containing Babesia, resulting in starvation of the parasite. It is generally accepted in that imidocarb has anticholinesterase activity.

Orbifloxacin (brand name Orbax) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic which is approved for use in dogs and cats, abd marketed by Schering-Plough Animal Health. Orbifloxacin is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agent from the class of fluoroquinolone carboxylic acid derivatives. Orbifloxacin is the international nonproprietary name for 1-cyclopropyl-5,6,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydro-7-(cis-3,5-dimethyl-1-piperazinyl)-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid. ORBAX® Oral Suspension is a malt flavored antibiotic suspension containing 30 mg/mL of orbifloxacin and sorbic acid as a preservative. ORBAX® Oral Suspension is indicated for the treatment of urinary tract infections (cystitis) and also for skin and soft tissue infections (wounds and abscesses).

Myristyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol used as an emollient in cosmetics and skin care products also serve as a basic component and solubility aid in metalworking fluids. Contact sensitization to myristyl alcohol has been reported, mostly in case reports or small test series, in patients with contact dermatitis due to cosmetics or medical ointments. 1-Tetradecanol may be prepared by the hydrogenation of myristic acid (or its esters); myristic acid itself can be found in nutmeg (from where it gains its name) but is also present in palm kernel oil and coconut oil and it is from these that the majority of Myristyl Alcohol is produced. Myristyl Alcohol may also be produced from petrochemical feedstocks via either the Ziegler process or hydroformylation.

Propylene carbonate is a cyclic carbonate that reacts with amines to form carbamates, undergoes hydroxy alkylation and transesterification. It can be used as an isocyanate and unsaturated polyester resin cleanup solvent, viscosity reducer in coatings, CO2 extraction solvent, electrolyte in lithium batteries, polar additive for clay gellants, foundry binder catalyst, and textile dye carrier and cleaner. In cosmetics and personal care products, Propylene Carbonate is used in the formulation of makeup, primarily lipstick, eye shadow, and mascara, as well as in skin cleansing products.
