Sulfiram (INN) or monosulfiram, trade name Tetmosol, is an ectoparasiticide used in the treatment and prevention of scabies.[1] It is usually sold as a solution or medicated soap, sometimes in combination with benzyl benzoate.
Sulfiram is now rarely used, but,, is still available in Brazil, India, and South Africa (as monotherapy).[1]
Dizziness, headache, fatigue and erythematous rash may occur.[2] A single case of toxic epidermal necrolysis was reported in 1968.[3]
Sulfiram is structurally related to disulfiram (Antabuse), and readily converts to disulfiram when exposed to light. Like disulfiram, it can produce an unpleasant reaction when consumed with alcohol.[1] [4]
