Stop and get medical help if any of these occur

03

Precautions

  • A soap is not a cure for scabies. The contact time is far too short to eradicate the mite — definitive treatment with permethrin 5% lotion left on overnight, or oral ivermectin, is required.
  • For external use only. Avoid the eyes, mouth and inside of the nose.
  • Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to permethrin or chrysanthemums.
  • Treat all household members and close contacts with definitive treatment simultaneously, and wash bedding and clothing in hot water.
  • Itching commonly persists for one to two weeks after successful treatment and is not a reason to keep re-treating.
  • Use in infants and in pregnancy only on medical advice.
  • Discontinue if the skin becomes more irritated after starting.
