TETMOSOL SOAP

DESCRIPTION

Tetmosol is a well-known medicated soap primarily used for the treatment and prevention of skin infections caused by parasites and bacteria. It is a staple in many households for managing skin irritation and maintaining hygiene.

Core Purpose & Active Ingredient

The primary active ingredient in Tetmosol is Monosulfiram (usually at a concentration of 5% w/w).

• Scabicidal Action: It is highly effective against Sarcoptes scabiei, the mites responsible for causing Scabies.

• Antiseptic Properties: It helps clear up skin redness, rashes, and itching caused by various environmental factors or poor hygiene.

  How to Use It Effectively

  To get the best results, especially if treating a skin condition:

  1. Lather up: Wet the skin and rub the soap to create a rich lather.

  2. Wait: Apply the lather to the affected areas (or the whole body) and let it sit for 2–3 minutes before rinsing.

  3. Frequency: Use it daily until the irritation clears, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

  Important Precautions

  • Avoid Contact with Eyes: If it gets in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water immediately.

  • Not for Broken Skin: Avoid using it on severely raw or weeping skin unless a doctor says otherwise.

  • The “Antabuse” Effect: Monosulfiram can sometimes react with alcohol. It is generally advised to avoid consuming alcohol immediately after use to prevent skin flushing or nausea.
