Additional Information

• The active ingredient, permethrin, is a synthetic pyrethroid that targets and kills mites and their eggs.
• Permethrin works by disrupting the sodium channels in parasite nerve cells, leading to paralysis and death.
• Apply as directed for complete eradication of scabies and prevention of reinfestation.
• Permethrin also helps relieve itching caused by mite infestation, though this may persist temporarily after treatment.
