Scabies is a skin infection caused by a mite known as Sarcoptes scabiei. Permethrin, the active ingredient in Permisol cream, is a topical pyrethroid with scabicidal properties, effective against Sarcoptes scabiei (scabies). It disrupts the sodium channels on nerve cell membranes of pests, leading to delayed repolarization, paralysis, and ultimately, their death.
Permisol cream is used to treat scabies and crab lice (Pediculosis) infestations. Since scabies can spread to all family members, it is important to treat everyone in the household simultaneously.
Use this medication as directed by a registered physician.
Permethrin is approved only for topical use. Limited human data exist on its systemic absorption or kinetics after skin application. Approximately 0.5% of the applied amount is absorbed within 48 hours. Any absorbed permethrin undergoes rapid metabolism, primarily by ester hydrolysis in the liver, with metabolites excreted via urine.
