How PERMESOL SOAP Works
Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that paralyzes and kills mites/lice by disrupting their nerve cell sodium channels. This leads to elimination of the parasites and relief from infestation-related itching over time.
Dosage & Directions
For external use only. Wet skin, apply soap to affected areas and lather well; leave on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use as directed by a physician (often once daily for a few days along with scabies treatment for close contacts and washing of clothes/linen). Avoid eyes, mouth, and broken skin.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
