What Is Permethrin + Cetrimide Lotion?
Permethrin + Cetrimide is a combination topical lotion widely used in India to treat scabies (a contagious skin infestation caused by mites) and head lice. Permethrin is a potent antiparasitic that kills scabies mites and lice by interfering with their nervous system, while Cetrimide is an antiseptic that helps prevent or reduce secondary bacterial infection—common after intense itching and scratching.
How it works:
Permethrin (usually 5%) eliminates the parasites causing scabies or lice.
Cetrimide (around 0.1%) cleans the skin and reduces infection risk.
These lotions are prescription-only and meant for external use; always follow a dermatologist’s guidance for proper application and duration.
