Top 10 Permethrin Creams in India– Permethrin is an antiparasitic medicine used to treat infections caused by scabies(tiny mites) and head lice in humans. It works by paralyzing and killing the mites, lice, and their eggs. It works by disturbing nerve signals in lice and mites, causing paralysis and death to them. This makes it an effective treatment for parasitic skin conditions. Mostly it shows its effect after one application, but if a second application is needed, wait for at least 7 days.
Permethrin has minimal absorption (less than 2%), which makes it primarily work on the skin where it is applied. The limited absorption makes it safe for children and pregnant women. Unlike Lindane, which is a second-line therapy, it affects the central nervous system, causing headache, dizziness, and seizures.
