Permelice Soap 75 gm

Permelice Soap is a topical medication prescribed for the treatment of parasitic skin conditions such as scabies (caused by tiny mites that infest the skin) and head lice. It belongs to a class of medicines called scabicides and pediculicides. The soap's active ingredient, permethrin, is a synthetic pyrethroid known for its insecticidal properties that disrupt the nerve cell function of parasites, leading to their death and effective elimination of the infestation.

Before using Permelice Soap, or any medication, it is important to understand that the following information is for general knowledge and should not be taken as medical advice. Always consult with a healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment.

Usage Instructions of Permelice Soap:

Permelice Soap is for external application and should be used according to the guidance of a healthcare professional. 

Ø  Apply the soap to clean, dry, and cool skin.

Ø  Work the soap into a lather over the affected areas. When treating scabies, this typically involves the entire body, avoiding the face and head unless advised by a doctor. For head lice, application is to the hair and scalp.

Ø  The lather should remain on the skin for a specific duration as recommended by a healthcare provider before being thoroughly washed off with water.

Ø  Often, a single application is sufficient. However, if a second application is deemed necessary by a doctor, it is usually applied after a specific interval, such as 7 days.

Ø  Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Should accidental contact occur, rinse the area immediately with copious amounts of water. 

Side Effects of Permelice Soap:

Most side effects associated with Permelice Soap are generally mild and temporary, typically localized to the area of application. 

Ø  Common side effects may include a mild burning or stinging sensation.

Ø  Some individuals may experience tingling, itching, or redness. It's worth noting that itching can persist for a few weeks after successful treatment due to the presence of dead mites and does not necessarily indicate that the treatment has failed.

Ø  Other reported effects include skin rash or temporary numbness in the treated area.
