What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Nix 5% Dermal Cream (permethrin) treats lice and scabies. Permethrin, a 1% lotion, effectively treats head lice infections as it targets and eliminates both the lice and their eggs. On the other hand, the 5% cream is explicitly used to treat scabies infections by eradicating the mites responsible for causing scabies.

Before you plan to buy NIX dermal cream to treat lice and scabies, it is crucial to consider factors such as effectiveness, potential side effects, and the NIX dermal cream price.

What is Scabies?

Scabies is an infectious skin condition that results from the infestation of small mites known as Sarcoptes scabiei. These mites burrow into the skin, lay eggs, and trigger itching and a rash. Scabies spread through close contact or sharing infested items. Common symptoms include intense itching, a rash with red bumps or blisters, and potential secondary infections from scratching.
