Permethrin (5% w/v)
Active composition
Permethrin disrupts the function of the insect's nervous system, leading to paralysis and death of the parasites.
Medical applications
Foemyte Lotion contains Permethrin 5% w/v, a synthetic pyrethroid used primarily as an effective topical treatment for scabies and lice infestations. Permethrin works by disrupting the nervous system of parasites, leading to paralysis and death, thereby eliminating the infestation. Foemyte Lotion is applied directly to the skin or scalp, depending on the condition being treated, and is typically left on for a specified duration before washing off, ensuring maximum efficacy. It is suitable for use in adults and children over two months of age, although care should be taken to avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin. Common side effects may include mild skin irritation, itching, or redness at the application site, which usually resolve without intervention. Patients are advised to follow the instructions carefully and complete the full course of treatment to prevent reinfestation. Foemyte Lotion is a valuable option in managing parasitic skin conditions, providing rapid relief and helping to restore comfort and hygiene. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before use, especially in pregnant or breastfeeding women, and to avoid excessive or repeated applications.
