PREMEROZ C SOAP 75GM
PERMETHERIN + CETRIMIDE SOAP
PREMEROZ C SOAP 75GM is a medicated cleansing bar containing permethrin with cetrimide. It combines a scabicide with an antiseptic detergent, used as an adjunct in scabies management where scratching has led to secondary bacterial infection.
01
Benefits
- Permethrin is active against the scabies mite and against lice.
- Cetrimide adds antibacterial action, useful where scratching has caused secondary infection — a very common complication of scabies.
- Cetrimide also lifts grease and debris from excoriated skin.
- A wash-off bar is convenient for whole-household hygiene during a scabies outbreak.
- Useful as an adjunct alongside definitive treatment.
02
Side effects
Not everyone gets these. Most are mild and settle as the course finishes.
Common
- Dryness or tightness of the treated skin
- Mild burning or stinging on application
- Local redness
- Itching
Less common
- Contact dermatitis with persistent redness
- Peeling of the treated skin
- Numbness or tingling of the skin
- Sensitisation on repeated use
Stop and get medical help if any of these occur
- Severe blistering or ulceration of the treated skin
- Swelling of the face, lips or tongue, or difficulty breathing
- Spreading redness, warmth, pus or fever — infected scabies needs systemic antibiotics
- Itching that is still worsening after four weeks
- New burrows or lesions appearing after treatment
03
Precautions
- A soap is not a cure for scabies. Definitive treatment with permethrin 5% lotion left on overnight, or oral ivermectin, is required.
- Secondary bacterial infection of scratched scabies often needs systemic antibiotics — an antiseptic soap alone is not sufficient for established infection.
- For external use only. Avoid the eyes, mouth and inside of the nose.
- Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to permethrin, chrysanthemums, or quaternary ammonium compounds.
- Treat all household members and close contacts simultaneously, and wash bedding and clothing in hot water.
- Itching commonly persists for one to two weeks after successful treatment.
- Use in infants and in pregnancy only on medical advice.
