Permiforce Cream

Product Overview

Permiforce Cream is a topical medication containing Permethrin as its active ingredient. This synthetic pyrethroid is specifically formulated to combat parasitic skin infestations such as scabies and head lice. By targeting the nervous systems of mites and lice, Permethrin effectively paralyzes and eliminates these parasites. Permiforce Cream not only alleviates itching and discomfort but also aids in skin recovery, providing a comprehensive solution for parasitic infections.

Uses

Permiforce Cream is indicated for the treatment of scabies and head lice infestations. Scabies, caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, results in intense itching and a rash with small red bumps. Head lice (pediculosis) infest the scalp and hair, causing persistent itching and irritation. This cream effectively eradicates these parasites, relieving symptoms and preventing further transmission.

How to Use

1. **Application**: Apply a thin layer of Permiforce Cream to clean, dry skin, ensuring full coverage of affected areas.
2. **Massage**: Gently rub the cream into the skin until absorbed.
3. **Avoid Contact**: Keep the cream away from eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.
4. **Duration**:
– **Scabies**: Leave on for 8–12 hours before rinsing with lukewarm water.
– **Head Lice**: Apply to scalp and hair, leave for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
5. **Follow Instructions**: Adhere to your healthcare provider’s guidance for optimal results.

How It Works

Permethrin in Permiforce Cream acts as a neurotoxin, disrupting sodium channels in the parasites’ nerve cells. This leads to paralysis and eventual death of mites and lice. The cream’s localized action ensures minimal systemic absorption, making it safe for topical use while effectively eliminating infestations.
