This product is a 30g tube of cream containing 5% Permethrin, a synthetic chemical widely used as an insecticide and insect repellent. The cream is white to off-white in color and has a smooth texture that is easy to apply. It is designed to be used topically, meaning it is applied directly to the skin.
The primary active ingredient in this cream is Permethrin, which makes up 5% of the total weight of the product. Permethrin is a member of the pyrethroid family, a class of synthetic insecticides that mimic the natural insecticidal properties of the chrysanthemum flower. It works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, causing muscle spasms, paralysis and death.
Despite its potency against insects, Permethrin is safe for human use. It is poorly absorbed through the skin and is rapidly metabolized by the liver. Any traces of the chemical that do enter the body are quickly excreted, primarily through urine.
This cream is primarily used for the treatment of scabies, a skin condition caused by a tiny mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. These mites burrow into the skin, causing intense itching and a pimple-like rash. The cream works by killing the mites and their eggs, effectively eliminating the infestation.
To use, the cream should be applied to clean, dry skin. It should be rubbed in thoroughly, covering the entire body from the neck down. Special attention should be paid to hard-to-reach areas, such as between the fingers and toes, under the fingernails and toenails, and on the soles of the feet. The cream should be left on for 8 to 14 hours, usually overnight, before being washed off.
In addition to treating scabies, this cream can also be used to treat infestations of lice. It is effective against both head lice and pubic lice, as well as their eggs. The application process is similar to that for scabies, but the cream should be applied to the scalp or affected area rather than the entire body.
While this cream is generally well-tolerated, it can cause side effects in some people. These may include itching, redness, numbness, tingling, or rash. If these symptoms persist or worsen, medical advice should be sought.
This product should not be used by anyone who is allergic to Permethrin or any other ingredients in the cream. It is also not recommended for use in children under two months of age, unless directed by a doctor.
The cream should be stored at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight. It should be kept out of reach of children and pets.
This 30g tube of cream is a convenient size for treating a single case of scabies or lice. It is easy to use and provides effective relief from these uncomfortable and distressing conditions.
