Nixcal Cream – Permethrin 5% Cream for Scabies in Pakistan | Caliph Pharma

Nixcal Cream by Caliph Pharma contains permethrin, a topical anti-parasite applied to the skin to treat infestations from mites (scabies) and lice. It targets the parasites by disrupting their nerve function, giving relief from intense itching, redness and skin rash associated with scabies. It’s designed for external use and is a trusted topical medication in Pakistan for dermatologic infestations.

Uses / Indications

Permethrin Cream is indicated for:

• Treatment of Scabies (infestation by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei) in adults and children over 2 months.

• Treatment of head lice (depending on local formulation and approval) in some jurisdictions.

How It Works

Permethrin works by prolonging the opening of sodium channels in nerve cells of mites and lice, causing paralysis and death of the parasite. Normal skin absorption is very low, making it suitable for topical use.
