Permethrin 5% Cream is a topical treatment for scabies, containing permethrin as the active ingredient. It works by paralyzing and killing the mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) that cause the infection, which leads to symptoms like intense itching and a pimple-like rash. Apply the cream as directed on clean, dry skin, avoiding broken skin and contact with the eyes. Wash hands before and after use. It is for external use only.
Permin 5% Cream belongs to the pyrethroid class of antiparasitic drugs. It is primarily used to treat infections caused by lice, mites, and their eggs, including conditions like pediculosis and scabies. Pediculosis is a lice infestation that typically affects the hairy parts of the body, especially the scalp, and is most common in children over the age of five. It spreads through head-to-head contact. Scabies is a skin infection caused by mites, which is contagious and spreads through physical contact. Both conditions result in rashes and persistent itching, particularly at night.
