Permethrin 50 mg cream
What is Permethrin used for?
Permethrin is a synthetic ectoparasiticide used in treatment of scabies and head lice. It inhibits sodium ion influx through nerve cell membrane channels delaying repolarisation and thereby causes paralysis and death of the pest.

What it costs

MRP is subject to change. These prices come from a dated snapshot — always check the price printed on the pack.
How much of it to take
This catalogue does not carry dosing information. How much to take, and how often, depends on you — your age, weight, kidney function and the other medicines you are on — so it comes from your prescription or your doctor, not from here.
Before you switch to a cheaper version
These products have the same composition, strength and dose form. Prices vary by brand and pharmacy — confirm cost and suitability with your doctor or pharmacist before switching.
Two cautions worth carrying into that conversation. A modified-release product (marked SR, XR, CR or ER) is not interchangeable with a plain one of the same strength. And for a small group of medicines with a narrow safe range — warfarin, thyroxine, phenytoin, lithium, some immunosuppressants — staying on one brand is the safer default, and any change should be monitored.
