Klmite Cream

Klmite Cream is a topical cream containing permethrin as labelled in each tube, supplied by KLM Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. It belongs to the antiparasitic insecticide class and is used on the skin to treat scabies and certain lice infestations, depending on a doctor’s diagnosis. Because it is a cream, Klmite Cream is applied directly to the affected skin rather than taken by mouth.

How it works: Permethrin in Klmite Cream works by interfering with the nerve function of parasites, causing them to become unable to move and survive. The cream formulation lets the medicine coat the skin and reach the organisms where they live.

Klmite Cream is a single topical strength and form in this brand line, so there are no lower or higher sibling strengths to compare it with. As a cream, it is suited for people who need a skin-applied permethrin treatment that spreads easily over large areas and is left on the skin for the recommended treatment time under medical guidance.

• Scabies treatment
• Head lice treatment when directed by a doctor
• Body lice treatment when prescribed
• Treatment of other permethrin-sensitive skin infestations

• Use Klmite Cream only on the skin, exactly as your doctor tells you.
• Apply a thin, even layer to the affected areas and surrounding skin as directed, usually after washing and drying the skin.
• Avoid getting the cream in the eyes, mouth, nose, or inside the vagina.
• Leave it on for the full prescribed time before washing it off, if your doctor instructs you to do so.
• Wash your hands after applying, unless the hands are the area being treated.
• Use only the amount prescribed; do not apply extra cream or repeat treatment sooner than told.

Klmite Cream contains permethrin as labelled per tube, and the exact amount needed depends on the body area being treated and the condition being treated. It is usually applied once and, if needed, the doctor may advise a repeat application after a set interval; there is no fixed maximum daily use because this is a prescription skin treatment, not an over-the-counter daily medicine. Your doctor decides the dose, treatment duration, and whether a repeat application is necessary.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Permethrin may include:

• Mild burning or stinging where applied
• Itching after application, which may be more noticeable in treated skin
• Redness or irritation of the skin
• Dry or flaky skin
• Temporary tingling or numbness on the application site
• Mild rash

• Use only on the skin; do not take Klmite Cream by mouth.
• Do not apply to broken, severely irritated, or infected skin unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, inside the nose, and mucous membranes.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of allergy to permethrin, pyrethrins, or chrysanthemums.
• Treat all close contacts and bedding/clothing as instructed to prevent reinfestation.
• Use caution in infants, young children, pregnancy, or breastfeeding only under medical advice.
• Do not use more often or longer than prescribed, because extra use can increase irritation without improving results.

• Other topical anti-itch or medicated skin products applied on the same area
• Other scabicide or pediculicide treatments unless your doctor says to combine them
• Corticosteroid creams used on the same site may mask symptoms and should be reviewed by a clinician
• Occlusive dressings or heavy ointments over the treated area may change absorption and irritation

Store Klmite Cream at room temperature in the original tube inside the box, away from excess heat, moisture, and direct light.
