Question

Are there interactions between lotions to treat scabies and ARVs?

Think this might be a silly question, but i have not long been on treatment and a bit paranoid. I have been diagnosed with scabies.

Is it safe to take the over the counter medication Derpac.

Will it effect my treatment (Sustiva and Kivexa)?

It is always a good idea to check for interactions but lotions and topical creams are all usually fine.

The lotion you refer to is called Derbac-M (melathion).
