Active Ingredient: Permethrin
Permethrin is indicated for the treatment of scabies in adults and children >2 months of age, and crab lice in adults.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Cutaneous
30 g
30 g once every day
Adults should apply the cream uniformly to the whole body including the neck, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The head and face can be spared unless scabies efflorescences are present in this region. On application, the areas between the fingers and toes (also under the finger- and toe-nails), the wrists, elbows, armpits, external genitalia and the buttocks should be especially carefully treated.
Sufficient cream should be applied to cover the pubic region, peri-anal (around the anus), inner thighs down to the knees and any hair that grows up from the pubic area to the chest/stomach. For treatment of crab lice in adults, the cream should be left on the skin for 24 hours, after which the treatment areas should be washed thoroughly. Any facial hair (beards, moustaches) and eyelashes should be checked for the presence of live lice and eggs. Cream should be applied to any facial hair, carefully avoiding eyes. If live lice or eggs are found on the eyelashes they should be removed carefully using tweezers. Cream should not be applied to the eyelashes because the cream can cause moderate eye irritation.
