Lotrix Permethrin 5% Lotion 60ml
Lotrix Permethrin 5% Lotion is a prescription-strength topical treatment used for the management of scabies, a contagious skin condition caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin. Scabies can cause intense itching, rashes, and discomfort, especially at night.
Permethrin 5% works by targeting and killing the mites and their eggs, helping to clear the infestation and relieve associated symptoms. With proper use, it is highly effective in treating scabies.
What Lotrix Permethrin 5% Is Used For
- Treatment of scabies infestation
- Relief from itching and skin irritation caused by mites
How It Works
Permethrin affects the nervous system of the scabies mites, leading to their paralysis and death. This helps eliminate the infestation and allows the skin to gradually heal.
How to Use
Apply the lotion to clean, dry skin. Cover the entire body from the neck down, including between fingers and toes, under nails, and skin folds. In infants and elderly patients, application to the scalp and face may be required as directed by a healthcare professional.
Leave the lotion on the skin for the recommended number of hours (usually 8–14 hours), then wash off thoroughly. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. A second application may be recommended after one week if necessary.
Important Precautions
- For external use only.
- Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin.
- All close contacts and household members may need treatment.
- Wash clothing, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent reinfestation.
- Consult a healthcare professional before use in children under 2 months.
Possible Side Effects
Mild burning, redness, or itching may occur temporarily after application. Itching can continue for a short time even after successful treatment. If severe irritation or allergic reaction occurs, seek medical advice.
Storage
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
Scabies can spread easily through close contact, but with prompt and proper treatment using Lotrix Permethrin 5% Lotion, effective relief and recovery can be achieved.
