Product Introduction
Permethrin Lotion is an antiparasitic medication used to treat scabies, a condition where tiny insects infest and irritate your skin. This lotion effectively kills the insects (mites) and their eggs.
Your doctor will instruct you on how to use Permethrin Lotion and the required dosage. Make sure to follow the instructions that accompany the medicine for proper usage. Before applying, ensure your skin is clean, dry, and cool. After using this lotion, thoroughly wash your entire body 8-14 hours later.
Most people need only one application to treat their condition, but if a second application is necessary, wait at least 7 days. Itching may persist for a few weeks after treating scabies, which is likely an allergic reaction to dead mites, not a sign of treatment failure.
The most common side effects include mild burning, stinging, or tingling at the application site. These side effects are usually mild, and not everyone experiences them.
Before using Permethrin Lotion, inform your doctor if you have any skin conditions, allergies to medicines, food, or other substances, or if you have asthma.
