How Nixiper Cream works

Nixiper Cream is a synthetic pyrethroid that acts on the nerve cells of scabies mites, causing paralysis and death of the mites and their eggs. It works by disrupting the normal function of nerve cell membranes in scabies mites. This action helps eliminate the mites responsible for scabies and allows the skin to heal.

How to take Nixiper Cream

Apply a thin layer to the affected area as advised by a doctor. For external use only; avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin unless directed.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Nixiper Cream, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not apply extra to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Nixiper Cream

Most side effects of Nixiper are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • application site burning
  • irritation
  • redness
  • itching
  • dryness

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
