Medicines that reduce inflammation or immune activity
Corticosteroids (such as prednisone) may quickly reduce inflammation during flares, but long-term use is usually limited because of side effects.
Immunosuppressants (such as methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate, or cyclophosphamide) reduce immune system activity.
Biologic therapies target specific immune pathways (for example, TNF inhibitors or other targeted antibodies) and are used in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and some others.
The head lice treatment market includes products and services used to diagnose, eliminate, and prevent infestations of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis). The market covers over-the-counter (OTC) treatments, prescription medications, combing solutions, preventive products, and professional lice-removal services.
Demand is driven by recurring outbreaks among school-aged children, increasing consumer awareness, resistance to traditional treatments, and development of newer non-insecticide treatment options.
