Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Viralys (L-Lysine) Oral Gel For Cats, 5 oz
Customer Review: Not as effective as human-grade lysine
Summary: 1 Stars
I have two cats that carry the herpes virus and have been giving them 500 mg lysine (human-grade) for years. I give 250 mg twice a day which adds up to 500 mg per day. It is critical that my boy get the full dose or his symptoms will emerge. After several days on this product (I tried both gel and powder form), his symptoms emerged. I had been giving him either 1/4 of a heaping teaspoon of the gel and/or a generous scoop of the powder twice a day. These amounts should have added up to just over 500 mg/day. --I suspect they weren't. I think the distribution of the drug in the carrying substance may be uneven or inadequate. When the herpes symptoms emerged, I put him back on human-grade lysine and his symptoms abated.
I will not use this product, and cannot recommend it. I think it is better to buy human-grade lysine and mix it in food or pop it in the cat's mouth (just before eating so the pill does not stay in the esophagus and irritate it). If one is not feeding the cat, one might flush with 4 to 6 ml water to prevent throat irritation and ensure the pill is washed into the stomach.
The seller agreed to allow me to return it, but said I would have to pay for shipping. I didn't like that. Amazon gave me a $10 credit toward a future purchase because of my dissatisfaction. I also contacted the manufacturer to let them know that there may be an issue with the amount of drug in their product. I did that today and have yet to hear back. I will update this when I do hear from them.
