Description

Sulfiram (also known as monosulfiram) is a sulfide derivative patented by L. Givaudan & Cie. S. A. as effective anti-parasitic medicine used for the treatment and prevention of scabies and other skin related problems like itching, skin irritation, and inflammation. Sulfiram is a very weak inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase. Sulfiram is usually sold as a solution or medicated soap, sometimes in combination with benzyl benzoate. Sulfiram is now rarely used, but, as of 2015, is still available in Brazil, India, and South Africa.
