Nixcal Lotion Uses / Indications
Permethrin 5% Lotion is indicated for:
Treatment of scabies (caused by Sarcoptes scabiei) in adults and children (typically from 2 months of age and above depending on local guidelines).
Treatment of pediculosis capitis (head-lice) in some jurisdictions (approved use depends locally).
Use in outbreak settings or for familial infestation due to larger pack sizes facilitating full‐body lotion use.
How It Works
Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that acts on the nervous system of mites and lice — it prolongs the opening of sodium channels in nerve membranes, causing paralysis and death of the parasite. When applied to skin, it penetrates the outer layers of mite burrows to eradicate infestation.
