Permite (Permethrin 5 Cream) is a dermatologist-recommended topical solution containing 5% permethrin cream, ideal for treating scabies and lice infestations in adults and children over 2 months. Derived from synthetic pyrethroids, this ivermectin alternative works by disrupting the nervous system of mites and lice, effectively killing both the parasites and their eggs. Application involves covering the affected area with a thin layer, leaving it on for 8–14 hours, then washing off. Mild side effects like itching, redness, or tingling may occur. Safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding when guided by a healthcare provider.
