MFDS drug class 02650

This is a classification of drugs used to treat skin diseases caused by parasites.

Commonly used for

What kind of medicines are these?

These medications are used to remove or kill parasites such as mites, lice, and fleas that infest the skin. They are primarily used to alleviate symptoms caused by parasitic infections, such as itching, rashes, and dermatitis.

Drugs in this category work by disrupting the nervous system or metabolic processes of parasites to kill or eliminate them. Some act by destroying the cell membranes of parasites or blocking neurotransmission.

Good to know

Parasitic skin disease agents are medications that directly target parasites, unlike other skin disease treatments. Therefore, they differ in mechanism of action and intended use from anti-inflammatory agents or antibiotics.
