Tetmakem 5 %W/W Description

Tetmakem soap is a medicated soap that contains the active ingredient monosulfiram. It is commonly used to treat scabies, a skin infestation caused by a tiny mite called sarcoptes scabiei. This soap works by killing the mites that cause scabies. The soap is used to cleanse the affected areas of the skin and is typically applied in the shower or bath. It is important to use the soap as directed and to follow the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve or disappear. While Tetmakem soap is generally safe and effective for treating scabies, it may cause skin irritation or other side effects in some individuals. If you experience any unusual symptoms while using the soap, it is important to contact your doctor for advice.
