| Permet |
| Permethrin Cream is used for pubic |
| pediculosis and as acaricide in the |
| treatment of scabies |
| |
| Permethrin is the most effective treatment |
| for scabies, and remains the treatment of |
| choice. It is applied from the neck down, |
| usually before bedtime, and left on for |
| about eight to 14 hours, then washed off in |
| the morning. Care should be taken to coat |
| the entire skin surface, not just symptomatic |
| areas; any patch of skin left untreated can |
| provide a "safe haven" for one or more |
| mites to survive. One application is |
| normally sufficient, as permethrin kills eggs |
| and hatchlings as well as adult mites, |
| though many physicians recommend a |
| second application three to seven days |
| later as a precaution.
