About Permethrin
Drug Details
Permethrin is a medication designed to treat scabies and head lice. It comes in different formulations: a 5% cream that requires a prescription for scabies treatment, and a 1% lotion or shampoo available over the counter for head lice. Belonging to the pyrethroid class of drugs, Permethrin acts as a topical antiparasitic. It works by damaging the nerves and muscles of mites and lice, effectively paralyzing and killing them, although it does not kill lice eggs. While generally safe when used as directed, Permethrin may cause temporary side effects such as mild burning or itching. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment options.
