Permethrin Cream is a topical medication used to treat scabies, a condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin. The cream contains the active ingredient permethrin, which belongs to a group of medicines called pyrethroids, used to kill parasites such as mites and lice.
Permethrin Cream is primarily used to treat scabies. Scabies is a contagious skin condition caused by a tiny mite. The cream works by killing the mites, thereby treating the infestation. In addition to scabies, Permethrin Cream can also be used to treat crab lice.
Permethrin, the active ingredient in the cream, works by paralysing and killing the mites that cause scabies. It interferes with the mites’ nervous system, which eventually leads to their death. The cream also helps to alleviate the itching and inflammation caused by the mite infestation.
Permethrin Cream is suitable for adults and children over the age of two months. However, it may not be suitable for people who are allergic to any of the ingredients in the cream. It’s also not recommended for use during pregnancy unless clearly necessary and advised by a doctor or pharmacist.
The cream should be applied once, and it’s usually left on for 8 to 14 hours before being washed off. In some cases, a second application may be necessary seven days after the first treatment.
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the infestation. However, most people find that their symptoms improve within two weeks of treatment.
You can buy Permethrin Cream online from our online scabies treatment clinic by completing a free consultation. Once reviewed by a licensed pharmacist, your prescription will be issued and your medication delivered in discrete packaging.
