Adverse reactions

Adverse Drug Reaction Overview

In a clinical study, 145 subjects were treated with either NYDA or with a permethrin-based product. The number of subjects experiencing any adverse events was similar in both groups.

In the NYDA group, 29 adverse events were reported in 25 participants; all but two of them were classified as being unrelated to the treatment (e.g., superficial wound after a fall, otitis externa following swimming in a pool). Two subjects in the NYDA group experienced ocular irritation after treatment when the product entered the eyes. The irritation resolved spontaneously in both cases after washing the eyes with clean water.

In a large Postmarketing Surveillance Study in Germany, (833 patients) a total of six adverse events were reported; these included four occurrences of a bothersome hair odour and one occurrence each of a headache and a burning sensation in the eyes.

Drug interactions

No drug interaction studies have been conducted for NYDA.
