Indication:

PMETRIN Lotion is a clinically proven topical scabicide and pediculicide used for the treatment of:

• Scabies (Sarcoptes scabiei infestation)

• Pediculosis (Head lice infestation)

• Crusted/Norwegian scabies (under supervision)

• Body lice and pubic lice (off-label)

• Household contact prophylaxis for scabies

💡 How It Works:

Permethrin targets the sodium channels in the parasite’s nerve cells, leading to disruption of their normal function. This results in paralysis and eventual death of mites and lice. Despite its powerful parasitic action, Permethrin is minimally absorbed through human skin, making PMETRIN Lotion safe for use in children above 25 years, adults, and patients with sensitive skin.

Its low irritation profile, combined with its fast-acting, broad-spectrum efficacy, makes PMETRIN the treatment of choice for dermatologists across India

👨‍⚕️ Doctor’s Tip:

“Permethrin 5% remains the gold standard for first-line treatment of scabies. I recommend PMETRIN Lotion for its high efficacy, minimal resistance, and safe profile—even in pediatric and elderly patients.”
— Dr. Sanjay Kapoor, MD Dermatology
