About Skabi-Rid

Skabi-Rid is made by TomarMed (Pty) Ltd in George, the company that brought the first permethrin-only scabicide to South Africa.

Our contribution

As a South African company with a conscience, we are proud to contribute to general health on the continent. Scabies treatment in the western world has made progress over the last fifteen years, but not in Africa, where treatment remained the same for more than 50 years. Skabi-Rid puts Africa on par with the preferred treatments in the USA and Europe.

TomarMed (Pty) Ltd

TomarMed (Pty) Ltd, a private company, commissioned a clinical trial on the treatment of scabies with permethrin as the active ingredient. As the first of its kind in South Africa, the trial was designed and conducted to compare existing treatments with the more recently developed permethrin-based applications. The successful trial led to the marketing of Skabi-Rid in Africa: the first permethrin-only scabicide in South Africa.
