Brief summary: Single dose bioequivalence study of Ivermectin 1% cream and Soolantra (Ivermectin) 10 mg/g cream in healthy adult human subjects.

Detailed description: An open label, randomized, four-period, two treatment, two-sequence, fully replicate, crossover, balanced, single dose bioequivalence study.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age: 18 to 45 years old, both inclusive.
* Gender: Male and/or non-pregnant, non-lactating female. A. Female of childbearing potential had a negative serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) pregnancy test performed within 28 days prior to first cream application day. They has used an acceptable form of contraception.

B. For female of childbearing potential, acceptable forms of contraception included the following:

i. Non hormonal intrauterine device in place for at least 3 months prior to the start of the study and remaining in place during the study period, or ii. Barrier methods containing or used in conjunction with a spermicidal agent, or iii. Surgical sterilization or iv. Practicing sexual abstinence throughout the course of the study.

C. Female was not considered of childbearing potential if one of the following was reported and documented on the medical history:
