What is Permethrin?

What is Permethrin used for?

Zalvor (Permethrin) is primarily used to treat scabies, a skin condition caused by tiny mites burrowing into the skin. It is also effective against head lice, body lice, and crab lice infestations. The medication targets live parasites but does not treat secondary infections or allergic reactions caused by bites.

What does Permethrin interact with?

Zalvor (Permethrin) has minimal systemic absorption, reducing the risk of drug interactions. However, avoid combining it with other topical treatments unless advised by a healthcare provider. Concurrent use of alcohol-based products may increase skin dryness or irritation.
