About the Product

Full Description

Benefits of Permethrin Lotion:

  • Effective Treatment:Kills head lice and their eggs (nits), with a single application often being effective.
  • Targeted Action:Works directly on the nervous system of arthropods (lice and mites), which causes respiratory paralysis and death.
  • Low Systemic Absorption:Minimal amounts are absorbed into the human bloodstream, which contributes to a low risk of systemic toxicity when used as directed.
  • Easy to Use:Applied topically to the hair and scalp, with clear instructions for use at home.

The primary active ingredient is permethrin (1% concentration for the lotion used for head lice).

Usage Instructions of Permethrin Lotion:

Follow the directions on the product label or your doctor's advice carefully: 

  • Wash hair with a regular shampoo (do not use a conditioner or a shampoo/conditioner combination product immediately before use) and rinse thoroughly.
  • Towel dry the hair until it is only damp.
  • Shake the permethrin lotion well to mix the medication evenly.
  • Applythe lotion to the hair and scalp, making sure to cover the areas behind the ears and at the back of the neck.
  • Leave the lotion on the hair and scalp for 10 minutes.
  • Rinsethe hair and scalp with warm water over a sink (avoid using a shower/bathtub to limit body exposure).
  • Towel dry hair and use a fine-toothed comb to remove any dead lice and nits.
  • Wash hands carefully after the application and rinsing steps.
  • A second treatment may be necessary if live lice are seen 7 days or more after the initial treatment. 

Side Effects of Permethrin Lotion:

Most side effects are generally mild and temporary: 

  • Burning, stinging, or tingling sensation on the skin or scalp.
  • Itching or rash of the skin/scalp area (this may persist for a few weeks due to an allergic reaction to dead mites/lice and is not necessarily a sign of treatment failure).
  • Redness of skin or scalp.
  • Numbness or mild skin irritation.
  • Dryness or peeling of the skin (in some combination products).
