Infectomite

Permethrin, the active ingredient in Infectomite, is a pyrethroid presented as a topical preparation for skin application. It treats scabies and lice infestations in humans.

Permethrin is an antiparasitic agent used to treat ectoparasitic skin infestations.

Scabies: eliminates the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, relieving itching and rash. Pediculosis: eradicates head and body lice, breaking the infestation cycle. Other ectoparasitic skin infections: controls additional mite or lice species that cause skin irritation.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation: mild redness or itching at the application site. - Burning sensation: transient warmth or tingling. - Dryness: localized skin dryness or flaking. - Mild rash: occasional erythematous patches. - Pruritus: temporary increase in itching. - Peeling: superficial skin shedding.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: angioedema or urticaria requiring medical attention. - Severe dermatitis: intense inflammation or blistering. - Contact dermatitis: persistent rash with swelling. - Systemic neurotoxicity: rare signs such as dizziness or tremor. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: extremely rare severe skin reaction. - Anaphylaxis: life‑threatening hypersensitivity response.

Before using Infectomite, consider the following safety measures.

Apply to intact skin only: avoid broken or inflamed areas. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes: rinse thoroughly if exposure occurs. Do not use on infants under 2 months: safety not established. Wash hands after application: prevent accidental transfer to others. Avoid simultaneous use with other topical insecticides: risk of increased irritation. Store below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Permethrin may interact with other topical or systemic agents.
