Tetmosol Medicated Soap 75g
Tetmosol Medicated Soap is a highly effective therapeutic soap and a household name in Nigeria for the treatment and prevention of skin infections. Formulated with Monosulfiram (5% w/w), it is specifically designed to combat the scabies mite (Sarcoptes scabiei) and body lice, providing fast relief from intense itching and skin inflammation.
Why Use Tetmosol Soap?
Whether you are dealing with a persistent skin rash, "toilet infection" concerns, or looking for a daily antiseptic soap to protect your family, Tetmosol offers a proven solution. It is a staple in many Nigerian households, especially for children in boarding schools or communal environments, to prevent the spread of skin parasites.
Key Benefits
- Scabies & Lice Treatment: The active Monosulfiram effectively eliminates parasites that cause skin irritation and "craw-craw."
- Deep Cleansing: Removes impurities and bacteria that lead to heat rashes and other skin conditions.
- Prophylactic Use: Can be used regularly to maintain skin hygiene and prevent re-infection in tropical climates.
- Citronella Fragrance: Features a distinct, pleasant scent that also provides mild insect-repelling properties.
How to Use Tetmosol Soap for Scabies
For best results in treating scabies:
- Wet the skin with lukewarm water.
- Lather the soap thoroughly over the affected areas.
- Allow the lather to remain on the skin for a few minutes before rinsing.
- Use daily until the condition clears, or as advised by your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist.
Important Safety Note: While using Tetmosol soap, it is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption, as a rare "disulfiram-like reaction" (nausea or redness) can occur due to the chemical similarity of the active ingredient to alcohol-sensitivity medications.
