Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream is a topical medication used to treat scabies and other parasitic skin infections. It contains the active ingredient permethrin, which belongs to a class of medicines known as pyrethroids. These are synthetic chemicals that mimic the natural insecticidal properties of pyrethrins, which are derived from chrysanthemum flowers. Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream is available in various sizes and is applied directly to the skin to eliminate parasites.
Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream is primarily used to treat scabies, a skin condition caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin, causing intense itching and a rash. The cream works by killing the mites and their eggs, providing relief from the symptoms and preventing the spread of the infection.
In addition to scabies, Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream can also be used to treat other parasitic skin infections, such as:
Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream works by disrupting the nervous system of the parasites. Permethrin, the active ingredient, interferes with the sodium channels in the nerve cells of the mites and lice. This disruption leads to paralysis and eventually the death of the parasites. By killing both the adult mites and their eggs, the cream effectively treats the infection and prevents it from spreading to others.
Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream is suitable for most adults and children over the age of two months. It is an effective treatment for those suffering from scabies or other parasitic skin infections.
However, Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream may not be suitable for everyone. You should not use this cream if you:
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any other medical conditions.
Follow these steps to apply Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream:
Apply Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream once to treat scabies. In some cases, a second application may be necessary after 7 days if live mites are still present or new lesions appear.
To effectively treat scabies, apply Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream for the recommended duration of 8 to 14 hours. This ensures that the cream has enough time to kill the mites and their eggs.
Like all medications, Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream can cause side effects. Below are some common, uncommon, and serious side effects you may experience.
For a full list of side effects, please refer to the Lyclear 5% Dermal Cream Patient Information Leaflet.
