Permethrin Cream By Permin is a topical medication containing permethrin, a synthetic chemical that belongs to the pyrethroid family of insecticides. It is primarily used to treat scabies and lice infestations.
Uses
Permethrin Cream By Permin is used for the treatment of scabies infestation, elimination of head lice and their eggs, and management of other types of body lice infestations. It is an effective topical treatment that helps eradicate these parasitic infestations and provides relief from associated symptoms. This medication is particularly useful in cases where over-the-counter treatments have been ineffective or in more severe infestations.
Benefits
- Effectively eliminates scabies mites and lice
- Provides relief from itching and discomfort associated with infestations
- Generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects
- Usually requires only one or two applications for complete treatment
- Can be used in individuals 2 months of age and older
How It Works
Permethrin works by paralyzing and killing scabies mites, lice, and their eggs. It disrupts the nervous system of these parasites, leading to their death and eliminating the infestation.
Dosage
For scabies: Apply the cream from head to toe and leave on for 8-14 hours before washing off. A second application may be needed after 7 days.
For lice: Apply to hair and scalp, leave for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Repeat after 7 days if necessary.
Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or on the product label.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include mild skin irritation, itching, or burning sensation. Serious side effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions or persistent irritation.
Warning
Do not use Permethrin Cream By Permin near the eyes or on mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Consult a healthcare provider before using on children under 2 months of age or if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
While permethrin is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before use to weigh potential risks and benefits.
Interaction
- May interact with other topical medications if applied simultaneously
- No significant drug interactions when used as directed on intact skin
Important Information
Use the entire tube of cream for each application to ensure complete coverage. Wash all recently worn clothing, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent reinfestation. Treat all affected household members simultaneously to prevent spread. If symptoms persist after treatment, consult your healthcare provider. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use for prevention; only use when an active infestation is present.
