Question
Are there interactions between lotions to treat scabies and ARVs?
7 January 2009. Related: All topics, Drug interactions.
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)?
Answer
It is always a good idea to check for interactions but lotions and topical creams are all usually fine.
You might find this information on the NHS website useful.
The lotion you refer to is called Derbac-M (melathion).
