About Mite Cream 60 gm
Mite Cream 60 gm is an antiparasite drug used to treat infections caused by eggs, lice, and mites. It is mainly used in the treatment of pediculosis and scabies. Pediculosis is the infestation of lice in the hairy parts of the body, especially the scalp. Scabies is a skin infection caused by mites. It is contagious and spreads from one person to another with physical contact.
Mite Cream 60 gm contains Permethrin, which works by killing the small insects (mites) and their eggs that cause scabies. It also destroys head lice, which stick to your scalp and cause irritation.
Mite Cream 60 gm is exclusively for external use only. Some people may experience side effects such as redness, rash, burning sensation, and itching. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, consult the doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
Do not use Mite Cream 60 gm if you are allergic to Permethrin, chrysanthemums, or any component present in Mite Cream 60 gm. Children below six years, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before using Permethrin. The infected area should be kept clean and dry before applying the medicine.
