Product Introduction

Permite 5% Cream is a prescription antiparasitic medication used for the treatment of scabies and head lice infestations. Scabies is caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin, leading to intense itching, redness, and irritation. This cream works by killing the mites as well as their eggs, helping restore healthy, itch-free skin.

Your doctor will explain the correct way to apply Permite 5% Cream. Before use, ensure that your skin is clean, cool, and dry. Apply a thin layer to the entire body (except face and scalp unless instructed) and leave it on for 8–14 hours before washing off. In most cases, a single application is effective, but sometimes a repeat dose may be required after 7 days. Even after treatment, itching may persist for a few weeks due to allergic reactions to dead mites, but this does not mean the medicine has failed.
