Virucide

A virucide (pronounced /ˈvī-rə-ˌsīd/ and alternatively spelled viricide and viruscide[1]) is any physical or chemical agent that deactivates or destroys viruses.[2][3] This differs from an antiviral drug, which inhibits the proliferation of the virus. When using a virucide follow instructions on the label for safe, effective use. Virucides are intended for use on surfaces, not in or on the body.[4]
