Permethrin 5% w/w is a topical insecticidal lotion formulated to treat scabies and lice infestations. It acts by disrupting the nervous system of parasites, effectively eliminating them upon contact. The addition of a mild perfume base ensures the lotion is pleasant to use, reducing the medicinal odor commonly associated with anti-parasitic products. This lotion is intended for external use only and should be applied to affected areas as directed by a healthcare professional. Permethrin is widely recommended due to its high efficacy, low toxicity to humans, and rapid action against mites and lice. Its formulation in a perfume base makes it suitable for both adults and children above the age of two months (under medical supervision).
