Targeted Parasite Eradication
This treatment is widely recognized as a first-line defense against skin parasites. Its key actions include:
-
Kills Mites and Eggs: Permethrin disrupts the nervous system of the parasites, leading to the rapid elimination of adult mites and preventing their eggs from hatching.
-
Effective for Scabies: Helps clear the burrows and rashes associated with scabies infestations across the body.
-
Treatment for Crab Lice: Provides targeted action to eliminate crab (pubic) lice.
-
Generic Value: This product is supplied as a generic medicine, meaning the brand you receive may vary. This ensures you receive effective treatment at the best possible value. If you require a specific brand, please contact us prior to ordering.
How to Apply
For scabies, the cream is typically applied to clean, dry skin over the entire body from the neck down. It should be left on for 8 to 12 hours (usually overnight) before washing off thoroughly. For crab lice, it is applied to the affected areas as directed. It is often recommended that all household members or close contacts are treated at the same time to prevent re-infestation.
