Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Japan) announced today the launch of Efil 300 ml and 50 ml, a virus removal/antibacterial spray that removes bacteria and viruses and keeps them away with a 24-hour germ-isolating barrier*, in Singapore through its subsidiary Taiho Pharma Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.

Efil uses original technology to combine its primary ingredient of ethanol with silver and zinc ions into a spray. The fast-acting effect of ethanol removes bacteria and viruses, then the long-lasting effect of silver ions maintains the antiviral/antibacterial effect for 24 hours.
Taiho Pharmaceutical developed this product out of a desire to alleviate the concern of bacterial and viral infection in people with a weakened immune system, such as those with cancer or diabetes, the elderly, persons requiring caregiving and their families, and persons with small children. The product was launched in Japan in 2018, and this is the first time it is being made available outside Japan.
The name “Efil,” the word “life” in reverse, was given in the hope that the product can turn people’s lives around. By using Efil, people can live a life free from anxiety against viruses or bacteria. This is the hope that inspired the product’s key message: “Turn your life around with Efil.”
With public awareness of hygiene increasing in recent years, Taiho Pharmaceutical aims to support peace of mind in daily life, not only to the people in Japan but also to the people in Singapore.
*Note: Efil is based on the new concept of “germ isolation,” not only to remove bacteria and viruses but also to form a barrier that keeps them away. This concept offers a life away from bacteria.
Product Features
■ Contains ethanol, silver ions, and zinc ions, a combination made possible by original technology. It allows for excellent fast-acting and long-lasting effects against bacteria, viruses, and odor.
