Permethrin cutaneous solution 0.5% bottle 50 g

Permethrin topical solution is used for pediculosis (head, pubic).

Composition

The active ingredient is permethrin (1 g of the drug contains 5 mg of permethrin).

Excipients: ethonium, benzalkonium chloride, ethanol (96%), purified water.

Contraindication

The use of Permethrin solution is not recommended for patients with bronchial asthma or obstructive bronchitis, including a history of it, due to the risk of bronchospasm when inhaling the drug.

Method of application

Externally. Moisten the hair well with the solution using a cotton swab, rubbing the medicine into the hair roots. After treatment with the Permethrin solution, leave it on the hair for 10-40 minutes (you can cover your head with a scarf), then rinse thoroughly with warm running water with soap or shampoo and dry naturally. After washing, comb the hair with a thick comb to remove dead parasites; if live lice are found, repeat the treatment before the next hair wash or after 7 days.

The consumption of Permethrin solution, depending on the thickness and length of the hair, is from 10 ml to 60 ml.

For pubic pediculosis, moisten the pubic hair area liberally with undiluted solution using a cotton swab. After 30 minutes, wash the treated areas with soap and rinse thoroughly with water.

Application features

Pregnant women

No studies have been conducted on the safety of using Permethrin solution during pregnancy or breastfeeding, meaning the drug should not be used during this period.

Drivers

The ability to influence the reaction speed when driving vehicles or other mechanisms has not yet been established.

Overdose

In case of overdose, the symptoms listed in the "Side Effects" section may be aggravated. In case of overdose, it is necessary to stop using this spray, rinse the skin with plenty of warm water, and antihistamines may also be used. In case of poisoning by inhalation of vapors of the "Permethrin" solution, treatment should begin by removing the patient to fresh air. If this drug gets into the eyes or on the skin, the affected areas should be washed with plenty of water.

If Permethrin solution is accidentally administered orally, there is a high probability of spontaneous vomiting, so further administration of emetics is not recommended due to the risk of rapid development of convulsions and coma. Absorption of Permethrin solution can be prevented by gastric lavage and administration of activated charcoal or a laxative. Treatment is primarily supportive and includes monitoring the patient for allergic reactions.
